Plenty of hate out there of apple alongside the love.
- Barbing 7mo agoIn the very same comments sometimes, those frustrating geniuses
- RealityVoid 7mo agoAdults can hold 2 thoughts in their head at their same time.
- skygazer 7mo agoParaphrasing F. Scott Fitzgerald? "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function." Holding contradictory ideas isn't the laudable skill. Any uncritical person can believe conflicting things without being troubled by them. The genius is holding such ideas in disbelief long enough to let evidence alter or evict them.
- RealityVoid 7mo agoI agree that holding inconsistent thoughts is not desirable. I don't think the thoughts in this case need to be contradictory and many times are not. I, personally, admire the HW they design and the polish that Apple delivers, while hating how closed their platform is. Am I contradicting myself? I did not know F. Scott Fitzgerald was the source of the phrase, TIL. I just picked it up somewhere and paraphrased it since I thought it applies here.
- Barbing 7mo agoYes, indeed, complaining about them even though they're brilliant (tough love?) as I just did
- neal_jones 7mo agoInside of me are two wolves. One that’s like “F Apple” and another that is like “Are they going to do an M5 ultra or…?”
- matheusmoreira 7mo agoWe can appreciate their hardware achievements and at the same time condemn them for their monopolistic anti-user decisions.
- Barbing 7mo agoThere it is--pretty much that.
