I honestly don't want to tinker with my phone.
So don't? People seem to have the idea that in order to use Android effectively you have to rebuild the kernel every week. If you treat a Pixel like an iPhone, it works like an iPhone.
- leadingthenet 6y agoNo, it really doesn’t, except if looked through the most superficial lens.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoExactly. It works better.
- leadingthenet 6y agoGreat! Then use that ffs, and stop imposing your values on people who make different choices.
- echelon 6y agoApple is imposing its will on thousands of American companies and robbing them. We put up with it because we have to, but we've had enough. This is painful.
- leadingthenet 6y agoAn alternative view is that Apple has created literally TRILLIONS of dollars in value for the global economy with its ecosystem. Apple and its users owe you nothing. Nada. Zilch. Feel free to fuck off if that fact makes you uncomfortable.
- pjmlp 6y agoThose companies were paying up to 80% before Apple came into the picture.
- dmitriid 6y ago> So don't? Did... did you even read what I was replying to? I was replying to this, emphasis mine: --- start quote --- It's depressing that even on hackernews where you expect people want to tinker and have control over their machines there's a probably a majority who are happy with the situation and use the think of my grandma (aka children) using iPhone situation. --- end quote --- No, I don't want to tinker with my phone. So I don't, and as a user I'm quite happy with the situation on the iPhone.
