Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators
teft@piefed.social 22 hours agoIt’s not about what apple wants. It’s about consumers having the freedom to do whatever the fuck they want with their device. If i buy a chair and want to add a 5th leg Ikea has no say in the matter so why should apple have a say in my app choices?

But the consumer does have a choice. They have the choice not to buy apple. Right? Its not like they hide this fact. You know what you are buying into.
“I get to do whatever I want” not according to the Ts&Cs you agreed to when you turned the phone on. Again, you knew what you were getting into. So why are trying to force someone else to do something, when its perfectly reasonable that you just dont buy the thing that doesnt suit your needs?

no I don’t have that choice, see my other comment

No, you do have that choice. You just dont like that choice. Fuck your other comment. Its bullshit. You just want something you cant have, like the other cunt acting like hes superior to anyone else cos “he knows better”. If you dont like what apple does, DO NOT BUT IT! Stop trying to get governments to do your dirty work for you.

Have you tried to have a smart phone outside of Apple or Android? They are clearly operating as a duopoly at this stage, they need tackled

Yes, the issue wasnt apple or android. The issue was support for various app makers. I LOVED windows phone.

no, we don’t. Android is becoming the same thing. So intervention is needed

Regulations like these exist to protect people who can’t protect themselves.
The average apple-user is too stupid to understand or appreciate the value of an open ecosystem, so it’s up to those who know better to fight on their behalf.

lol Yeah, dont talk utter shit. Apple “just works”. Thats what most people want. They dont want an open platform, full of viruses, malware, and every other fucking thing that makes running windows a pain in the arse. The utter state of you “I know better than all the simpletons”. Could you be any more up your own smelly arse?

It’s the truth whether you like it or not.
Viruses are malware, for example. You’re completely clueless and feel embarrassed that someone dared mention it’s a trait of people who buy apple products.
You should educate yourself instead of getting mad at those who are more knowledgeable than you.
