  You’ve heard about Android, right? We all have like six months to find a new platform.

    On their defense, that’s a lot longer than Apple has had in the last DECADE.

  Stupidity.

  Intelligent people don’t use apple products.

    All the apple fans out down voting today…

    FYI this may not be the time to take allegiance with them if you at all understand what is going on.

      If you understand what is going on then you understand that, as of right now, all mobile users are thoroughly fucked. Google is about to gatekeep all Android app development and we don’t have any serious third options. The monopoly noose is tightening around the world’s neck.

      Apple, Google, they are both greedy, evil, abusive corporate oligarchs. “Apple bad” helps nobody. Google is just as bad. We need more options. Until Graphene works on non-Google devices, it’s not much of an alternative. Until UBPorts gets more support and adoption, it’s not much of an alternative either. We’re in a very bad place.

        I’m very well aware, but the apple folks tend to be a LOT more dogmatic and vocal. When people talk shit about android, nobody really cares. Do it to apple? Jfc.

        I am pointing this out because the current mess will never change for the better until apple users stop supporting apple. No, you dont have a lot of choices, but stop signaling support for them. Get mad and demand better. Be vocal about THAT.

        Oh, let’s rewrite history, eh?

      I have a great dislike for Apple, and have never bought or used any of their products. I still downvoted the comment because it’s wrong (use doesn’t define general intelligence), toxic, and misguided (attacks those that we would prefer to change).

        OK I’m sorry for excluding people.

        Apple fans AND self-righteous morons.

        Hope that is more equitable and does not make you feel left out!

        I just want to say I laughed at this.

        This is like claiming most people downvoting ICE might not be conservatives.

        Like, congrats if you’re being genuine… You’re like the Hispanic Trump voters. You think you’re doing something good, but you’re just helping the wrong side win.
