Apple feels like the only big tech company that remotely cares about its users. Thank god they make the best computer and OS too.
I’m sure this will not be a popular take on HN however.
- dwedge 5mo agoAndroid was originally enticing because of iOS locking everything down and controlling the ecosystem
- esafak 5mo agoAndroid was designed to prevent Windows from dominating mobile: I literally helped create Android to prevent Microsoft from controlling the phone the way they did the PC - stifling innovation. So it's always funny for me to hear Gates whine about losing mobile to Android. — Rich Miner (https://x.com/richminer/status/1879004092602982765 https://x.com/richminer/status/1879004092602982765)

- throw1234567891 5mo ago“But I want my freedom, I want to install whatever I want, bad Apple for locking down my devices away from me.” They stay rather secure because of all these measures. But they’ll get dismantled, too. Because idiots push idiots in power to weaken Apple’s stance. Useful idiots is the right term.

- throw1234567891 5mo agoIt’s people like you who go in the dark forest because “the prison is tight”, get mugged, then complain that the sheriff doesn’t operate there. Call it a prison cell, or a fortified city. Whatever, dude…

- b00ty4breakfast 5mo agoNah, I would never be using an Apple product to begin with because I'm not a magpie to be wooed by a shiny nickel in the mud.
- throw1234567891 5mo agoWhat you’re saying is that regardless of what Apple does, you’re not going to use it anyway. Why would anyone care about your opinion.

- computably 5mo ago"Best" is subjective. But "caring about their users"? Their response to RtR alone shows they care about their margins more than their users.
- michaelt 5mo agoApple care about their users like a farmer cares about a herd of dairy cows. Whereas Microsoft and Google care about their users like a farmer cares about a herd of pigs.
- iamtedd 5mo agoI can tell you don't actually know what goes on on a dairy farm.
- overfeed 5mo agoIf you charitable (like you should be), then a reasonable assumption is that they probably know what happens on a dairy farm, and that's actually their point.

- jesterson 5mo ago> I’m sure this will not be a popular take on HN however. Precisely because it's your feelings, not objective observation. No public company would care of their users, even remotely. Indeed, during Jobs time it actually worked that way, but that time is long gone. The OS is not nearly the best, just like laptops.
- nothinkjustai 5mo agoNothing anyone says about Apple here is based on “objective observation” so idk what your point is. Your entire comment is also just your feelings.
