Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’

  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.

        I dunno, maybe? They’re pretty stupid.

        Sorry, not sorry. I know who my fruit booter friends are… They are simple.

    Oh, let’s rewrite history, eh?

    Android allows sideloading for over two decades, but sure… BoTH sIdEs aRe thE sAmE.

  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.

      What do you base this on?

      Lemmy seem quite heavily skewed towards non-apple users.

      What specifically makes me like a Hispanic Trump voter? Where’s the equivalence of self-sabotage?
