Apples market share is less than Android. Your argument is like saying Amazon is a monopoly in the kindle store. Some folks are just power hungry and like to wield force unnecessarily.

Save money when the fed can print it all away?

+1. It will soon be 500T, then quickly followed by 1QN. Agreed, a bit of an oxymoron.

Nothing better than a father and mother in a stable, loving relationship for a child. Yes, let’s encourage this.

Litter laws make sense and don’t limit purchase options. These laws hurt the poorest so the upper echelon can feel good.

Yes, there are already a number of products that Californians just don’t have access to, for their “protection”. I imagine this bill will further reduce the quality of life for Californians.

> Moderately more expensive This bill hurts the poorest people by making certain products even more inaccessible to them. Before, they could at least have a choice between something they could afford and something repairable. Not anymore

The fact that the system isn’t opt out is evil.

Oh, staying and voting that we can all opt out and keep our money.

So we printed 40% of total money supply two years ago and this year we gave an 8% social security raise. What a sham. Please let me opt out now.

Sure, backed by a large army that ensures the fed prints the value of your pension away.

by a-user-you-like 3y ago
I don’t see why anyone would trust future payments in the dollar. It’s not backed by anything but trust. Sure, you’ll get your social security at $5k/month in 30 years, but the money will be worth toilet paper. Sure, your army pension

We’re talking about whether or not you can go out and get a phone using one of these alternative stores, and it turns out you can. Android is free enough to allow librem, fdroid, others. Many users. You want the like to be mandatory, using

Obviously the companies should act in a moral fashion, and not violate your right to life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness. But buying an Android phone isn’t breaking any of the 10 commandments, or these companies aren’t causing you to

Civil government’s (as opposed to self, family, church) function is to secure your God-given rights. Those are negative rights, not positive ones. You have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Not a right to anyone’s la

It was enough for Amazon to slap a store on it and launch a competitor. Yawn. No one cared. If people were really that dissatisfied with Google, they’d move. People don’t dare, Google makes a damn good product. You and I both wish for more

There are smaller competitors, but people just don’t care. And Android is an open platform, so there’s Graphene etc.

I’m saying no one is forcing you to do anything, you make informed choices going in. If you want to be able to switch phones, only buy ones that support fdroid and the like. Apple doesn’t do that, so don’t get one of those. Maybe you think

by a-user-you-like 3y ago
They have broken no rules, and have provided great products that customers love to buy. You’re bitching that you want more privacy, when GrapheneOS, Fdroid, Librem, Pinephone, and other alternatives exist. They’re not that well developed be

If there was really as much demand for the feature you want, someone would build it. Amazon tried, no one cared. People are happy with their devices.

You understand this is a limitation going in. No one forced you to buy the iPhone. You seem to like to unnecessarily use force. You can buy multiple phones that support fdroid and get what you want.
54.
by a-user-you-like 3y ago
You’re encouraging regulation of the iPhone and calling it the free market. You’re confused. Android exists. Other phones exist. Use one of those. No one is twisting your arm. [predictably the communist wing of HN is out on the downvote]

If you ask her if she'd prefer a lab diamond or one from the ground, and she says ground, you have your answer. If you force the issue and insist on getting the lab diamond, you're the douche.

If you weren’t bullied growing up then maybe we can find some for you now, as you seem to be advocating this for kids.
