Reddit is a trove of user built content under the guise of community. What Spez did was to say "thanks for all the free work, suckers!", put a price sticker on it, and laughed all the way to the bank.
And this is why I'm not active on any Internet community anymore. Nevermind, I guess I just can't help myself...
So does Apple, the difference being they grabbed it all to themselves. This is why they have "no tracking" options, to seal competition off while selling themselves as the privacy champions and also selling their in house ad solution. That and the fact that they worked with the government behind users back, and having a shoddy work to secure their OS.
Man, they're seething against the EU, totally pissed that the legislators worked against their abuse over developers and rubbed against their cash cow.
Apple is all about money and fucking the user, being no different from Meta or Google. All they have is shinier hardware.
I kinda understand it, because iMessage is completely irrelevant outside the US. It still sucks, bacuse more choice and less lock in is always better for consumers.
Quit for what? Linux is a mess with hardware like fingerprint readers being unsupported, and without the most used commercial software. Mac OS is a buggy mess lately, and it ties your data to a time bomb hardware and that damn walled garden.
Windows is the best general use OS out there, and Microsoft knows it. We need regulation to stop that abuse.
I hate Hate HATE that I'm going to say this: the iPad was just a bigger iPhone, yet here we are. It's the perfect device for consumption and light work, yet people had no idea about what to do with it at first.
I'm more irked about that thing being gigantic and strapped to your face, thought. It's the next level of social isolation, in a level even higher that the one cause by smartphones, and I'm not ok with that. Companies actually want to hijack and sell your reality back to you.
Thank you. Windows is plain better for the average user, and that's a hard pill for many to swallow. Heck, I force myself to use Linux time to time but I always go back because the Affinity suite and my fingerprint reader only works on Windows. I have no reason to stay on Linux, it's too limited outside niche cases.
The review was great, and the fact that Apple went it's way to try and do something to be seen as an innovator is awesome, for one reason only: they failed horribly.
Granted, this is the best VR handset that could be done with today's tech, and even then it's bad. There's no use outside niche applications, and too much constraints and trade offs for it to be reliable. We need a huge advance in tech for AR be feasible and socially acceptable.
And you can't even play proper games with this thing.
Godfuckingdamnit.
Obligatory question: alternatives to wordpress?
