> What are you going to do about it? Are you going to kick Tim Cook's ass? No, just wait for the EU to force Apple to do something since the US is too busy failing at more basic things. This is also a really weird response. I was just pointing out your previous reply was a red herring, not any kind of actual argument. > That was probably somebody else, I didn't say that. Nah, it was you, right here[1] where you said "A big part of the reason I use Apple products is that they protect not only me, but my family who don't know what the implications of sideloading are." > The proof is in the pudding: Every other platform is destroyed Far from it. What a ridiculous claim. > You can put whatever OS or apps on any device from Apple, if you have the skills. No, because Apple makes it too hard. There has to be a specific kind of vulnerability and there isn't always. > Or try to kick Tim Cook in the ass. Or root for the EU. And honestly users like you are more of a problem than Cook will ever be. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43200668 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43200668

  You're right, I apologize for the mixup. I'll be gracious and ignore your snark, realizing it comes from a place of frustration for not having any reasonable arguments in support of your position.

    I was typing a more comprehensive argument, but had to cut it short to drink beer with my neighbour. The reason I inquired for your intentions regarding Mr Cook's backside is that in all these comments, you sound exactly like Steve Jobs shouting down his dictation.

      > The reason I inquired for your intentions regarding Mr Cook's backside is that in all these comments, you sound exactly like Steve Jobs shouting down his dictation. Not in the least. I said I don't care in response to your saying I could but an alternate phone. That's not an argument in response to what I said, it's a red herring, a distraction, a whataboutism, and a completely irrelevant point. That's why I said I don't care, and why you asking "what I was going to do about it, kick Cook's ass" is just silly and irrelevant. You mentioned Cook's ass because you lost track of the context of the conversation and didn't have any actual argument. Aside from the one you cut short to drink beer that I didn't get to see, I guess.
