"Free" is also not nickel-and-diming or bait-and-switching people with in app purchases. I'm not saying data mining my PI for profit is better, but the app store as a market place is an extremely toxic place.

Support Free software instead, and stop begging Apple for permission to control what happens on hardware you own.

Funny, I actually learned Linux the opposite way. I started using Gentoo. I know that seems like learning Linux on hard mode, but for me it worked well. I had dabbled a bit before that, but I didn't really get Linux, before getting m

Why not Debian? I've always used either Debian or Gentoo, depending on what I'm doing. I know Gentoo isn't everyones cup of tea, but Debian seems similar enough to Centos in my eyes. EDIT: Reading elsewhere in the thread, the

The whole cultue of Apple is so weird, and kind of appalling. Just the fact that their press conferences are broadcast, and they're held in front of an audience that applaud everything the presenter says, and laughs at his jokes. Peopl

As mentioned in TFA, configuring a firewall to redirect DNS traffic from broken or malicious software is also trivial. Or are you talking about hardcoding IP addresses?

I've hated DoH from the beginning, and not just because shoehorning everything into http is a silly idea, but as I suspected, we now live in a reality where you have to keep an adblock-esque list of DoH servers. Now you have yet anothe

I think it's the "taking it way too far"-aspect of it, compared to a regular calendar[0], that makes it so creepy. It's the fedora and trenchcoat of calendars. [0]Which my casual duckduckgoing indicates a filofax is.[1]

You're not wrong, but Apple also does advertise themselves as fashion. Their products are highly visible. Not too long ago, their computers literally had a giant glowing logo on them. Now it's just shiny. You can spot someone we
