Seems to me like a whole lot of arguments about Apple involve changing accepted definitions of things or using different standards for Apple versus others.
Apple does enough things wrong and I'm perfectly willing to accept those things and understand when people are frustrated by those things. No need to invent whole new things or shift definitions just so you can complain about them.

- ogre_codes 6y agoNot you. Just frustrated by the seeming religious fervor some Apple-haters have. Seems like sometimes people are willing to go through great contortions to figure out how whatever Apple did is wrong. Totally understand why people might prefer Linux/ Windows/ Amiga/ whatever. People should just enjoy what they want.
- webmobdev 6y ago> Just frustrated by the seeming religious fervor some Apple-haters have. It goes both ways. I'd add that atleast the "Apple-haters" have more of a standing in defending open computing standards and demanding Apple be open too.
- zepto 6y agoDishonest redefinition doesn’t create standing. Also - why does hating Apple give anyone any right to demand anything from them? Why not demand more from people who are actually working on Open computing?
- ogre_codes 6y ago> more of a standing So you think ignoring facts and making nonsense gives you credibility so long as you hate the right people? Maybe in your own head.
