I keep trying to explain this to useful idiots but to no avail.
The money they keep throwing at corporations will always be used against them.

say their iPhone is preventing them from Installing what they want.
Mind blown that’s what you are paying 1000€ for every few years for you Starbucks capitalist - coffee (a coffee for about 25€ thats just a normal coffee so those Hippies can feel like they are fighting capitalism) drinking dipshit.
How does it take someone so long to realise one of the main points of a product they are buying? Like, its like if I’d use a toilet plunger from public bathrooms as totthbrushes, and just after getting e.coli 10 times I realised that they aren’t there to brush teeth.
You want the 3 f’s? Freedom, Foss and fortnite? Start standing up against such business practices.

Yes. I’ll add to this that when I look at prices of hardware, it’s not even an option. Buying an iPhone would be equivalent to buying a good laptop, except you just can’t do much work on a PDA. When excluding actually doing work, as a tool for the job it’s equivalent to something 4 times cheaper.
And in addition to that it has disgusting elitist advertising, relies on sweatshops for production, and isn’t even fully usable without company’s permission to run this or that.
I wanted one when I thought they look very cool.

To be fair, Theres not really any phone that dosent use sweatshops except fairphone if you disregard the Qualcomm and other proprietary parts
But yes, Its really shitty, like, I am using an old samaung S3 as internet radio to this day, and an S7 with lineage as Retroarch gaming console, and they both run completely fine with and without battery. If those were iPhones from that era, they wouldn’t even work anymore

While I agree with your point and energy, let’s not give anyone going to Starbucks the moniker of “hippie”. That is a sacred term reserved for the awesomest of people, and doesn’t need to be tarnished by the association with people that have more money than sense.
