It has always been a possibility but apple's business model is "be the biggest monopolistic piece of shit possible" so that's always going to override anything but a law that forces them to not be a monopolistic piece of shit, something the EU attempted here, but apple made sure to find a way to say they're following the law while simultaneously flouting it as hard as possible

TrickDacy ,

Probably 75% of marriages like that don't go well. OP is right.

TrickDacy ,

Wow, really? Sure is an expensive and necessarily painful thing to opt into or to normalize. I'd rather it be normalized to not get married in the first place.

TrickDacy ,

And yet it's costed others (every day) thousands to millions of dollars

TrickDacy ,

How's that Cook-dick taste?

TrickDacy ,

My thought exactly. Since when does buying something require a warrant? The problem is obviously that it's allowed to be sold period.

TrickDacy ,

Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple. Fuck apple.

Also, fuck apple simps.

TrickDacy ,

Right it's fine that apple is doing this, because... This video title doesn't end with "if people opt into this obviously shit set of terms". Makes sense.

TrickDacy ,

Haha, I bet you had some interesting conversations with the fanboys

TrickDacy ,

Same, Netflix, same. We finally agree on something.

TrickDacy ,

Other than creating the M1/M2 CPUs, when in the last 20 years haven't they been? Fuck apple.

TrickDacy ,

If safari was a great browser, I don't think apple would fear competition to the point of fully banning it wherever possible

TrickDacy ,

Every time I want to use a new feature of web browsers, if support stops me from doing so, it's always safari to blame.

TrickDacy ,

Well web developers are the ones typically suffering since are the ones papering over the mess that is safari

TrickDacy ,

I really can't remember an example off the top of my head. Over the last 5 years it's probably been an issue more than 20 times.

TrickDacy ,

Well I went from an Intel to m1 (work) MacBook and the difference was quite stark. Even at times feels as fast as my home desktop, which is beefy.

TrickDacy ,

Every other browser except IE has supported web standards more quickly and more fully. Safari is trash.

TrickDacy , (edited )

You say and yet we both know if the headline was "nose wheel falls off Delta jet waiting to take off" it'd be identically accurate but would mean something else entirely

TrickDacy ,

I'm curious, what's an example of a mini x86 machine comparable to a raspberry pi? I just did research and ended up buying a RPI 5. I may have not known what to look for, but what I found in the x86 space was $200+ and seemed pretty underwhelming compared to a $80 SBC on arm.

TrickDacy ,

I missed this sentiment. Just bought my first RPI (5) and it's a neat little toy. I have some pretty specific requirements I'll have to work toward but I like tinkering with it. The size, price and low power consumption beat any of the mini PCs I found. Then again I'm probably out of the loop

TrickDacy ,

This looks cool, is it getting good reviews?

I don't know what a pi5+ is, unless you mean orange pi 5+?

I just bought a RPI 5 8GB (base price $80), all accessories in, for like $115. It never occurred to me that this would've been considered "expensive", but a lot of people in this thread are saying so because rpis used to be $30. I mean the price has increased, but hasn't the price of literally everything increased noticeably at the same time?

TrickDacy ,

Ok.

This looks cool, is it getting good reviews?

I really was asking. I did a little research and concluded any x86 machine I could buy would be too slow for reliable video playback unless I spent over $200. I am open to actually being wrong there though.

TrickDacy ,

From Apple’s perspective it’s not shitty

No shit.

From Hitler's perspective, he was saving Germany too. Why would I give a shit about that perspective?

TrickDacy ,

Despite not being forced by governments, no android phone uses a shitty proprietary charger port, nor have they ever. And last night I discovered side loading is possible on my fucking google TV device. Again, no laws require this, it's just called not being a fucking prick.

TrickDacy ,

I won't give apple another dime. I made the decision like 10 years ago and stuck with it.

The only reason I have to care is that you can't avoid hearing about apple and their shitty business practices on a near daily basis.

Complaining about a company being shitty is reasonable. Deal with it and just simp harder.

TrickDacy ,

need to slow down and read carefully

The irony.

TrickDacy ,

Only if you ignore the fact that this isn't actually true.

TrickDacy ,

Being a Contrarian douche is kinda their thing

TrickDacy ,

I really hate this trend of downplaying valid points by saying "X bad", as if we need to lay out the argument against X, meta in this case, once again, or else we're just being idiots arguing blindly. Meta is bad and pointing out that this is just another reason why is fine.

TrickDacy ,

Ok yeah maybe but can we all stop writing our witty tweets in the same format? "normalize [abnormal thing]" is not only getting old, it probably is not effective at all

TrickDacy ,

Hey, I'm just trying to normalize better ways to call for normalization.

TrickDacy ,

Isn't the goal of a post like this to get people thinking? If it's the same ol' same ol', it's easier to tune out.

TrickDacy ,

As someone who lives in a corporate owned building which is an unmitigated disaster, I agree.

TrickDacy ,

You realize moving is a big deal, right? I could talk for 20 minutes about the challenges but the biggest one currently is that I'm extremely far from my lease's end date.

TrickDacy ,

And that's why it's awful

TrickDacy ,

Yeah people are weird about bidets. They're obviously a great invention

TrickDacy ,

Paying a bank hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest is also robbery. what did the bank do? Were rich and did paperwork. Wow so irreplaceable and valuable. Think of all the poor people they swindled to get there! Amazing 😍

TrickDacy ,

The alternative would be ... The EU rules that only webkit and Firefox are allowed on iOS...? That's not happening, nor should it. (Fuck Google still though, I agree with your stance there)

TrickDacy ,

have absolutely nothing in common.

They are both Indo-European languages and it shows. The words for father and mother for example, are very similar in the two languages.

I will never understand why people always want to deny the interconnected nature of the universe and instead want everything to be unrelated and separate

TrickDacy ,

They are different, but they are definitely related despite several confidently incorrect commenters.

TrickDacy ,

I will never not roll my eyes when someone writes a plural with a fuckin apostrophe. Low quality, low effort.

TrickDacy ,

I read this over and over. Never got close to making sense

TrickDacy ,

And this dumb ass shit is how you get a second term of trump you fucking troglodytes.

TrickDacy ,

I don't like apple but none of what you wrote has been reflected in my last 20 years of Mac experience. There is no "arbitrary" lack of support for older machines and in my experience machines usually get updates for several years.

TrickDacy ,

You first

TrickDacy ,

This post is fucking idiotic. Without electric cars climate change CANNOT be addressed.

Nothing is ever as simple as a single solution. Mouth breathing OPs need to get that through their thick stupid skulls
