It seems like I've heard a lot of the same complaints about Apple. I don't know, I don't use Apple. I'm happy with Windows 11, probably because I know how to work around the b.s.
- LordKeren 2y agoI’ve used MacOS and Windows both every day for more than a decade. MacOS does have some “is this a bug or a dark pattern” situations, but it is in no way comparable to how much Microsoft pushes all this. It is more than a magnitude of difference between the two OSs
- labrador 2y agoI was thinking of iOS and iPhone and the walled garden. I haven't heard any similar complaints about the Mac so thanks for the correction.
- LordKeren 2y ago“Complaint” may be underselling the Apple’s situation with iOS and iPadOS. They are getting forced in to change by the EU already and they are actively being sued by the US Department of Justice. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft comes under fire for windows 11
- dole 2y agoBuy a new iPhone, get inundated by modal ads to subscribe to the iOS ecosystem like iCloud storage and Apple Music. I like reading news from various sources, but Apple News may as well be broken without a News+ subscription, teasing with the headline and first few lines where I might actually be able to read the article in full from the Google News app unless I've hit my monthly paywall quota. Apple may not be as blatant as MS, but enshittification by shareholder eventually poops on us all.
