Comment on Beeper users say Apple is now blocking their Macs from using iMessage entirely
MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 5 months agoAnd your response is the most arrogant boot licking BS excuse for intellectual analysis I’ve read since Mike Lindell insisted Trump won the election. Apple is not a mom and pop shop so when they control so much of our means to connect they damn sure should be scrutinized. You may not agree with that sentiment but a growing number of people who understand the issues sure do. This includes a growing number of regulators from around the world. Japan, the European Union and the United States are all in various stages of addressing this issue. Despite your bravado you don’t have the moral or intellectual high ground here.

Lmao wow.
The only “issue” is this: You don’t get to use someone’s private property any way you like. They can kick you out when they want, and you have no right to get all pissy about that. You’re all acting like a bunch of sociopaths who come into a shopping mall, shit in the middle of the food court, and are shocked when you’re thrown out by security, screaming, “I have a right to be here!”
no you don’t
And the most hilarious bullshit of all is how much you whine and cry about how much you hate apple while simultaneously stomping your feet and twisting yourself into knots trying to use their service you cherish so much just so your chat bubbles can be blue, you massive hypocrites. Ha!

To be fair, you’re the one crying and twisting yourself around to defend the worlds biggest company here. What’s really funny is when you talk about “the rules” when I just outlined how international law is about to change the rules. It appears it’s you who isn’t happy with the rules and therefore you who is the massive hypocrite. You don’t like it? Well too bad. Start your own country then you lazy cry baby. 😉

Which bit of this? Does Apple own? The beeper app? The iMac? The code that beeper wrote to communicate with Apple’s libraries? Apple doesn’t own shit here. It’s why they’re being investigated for breaking beeper multiple times. You can let Daddy Apple hit you harder if you want but consumers don’t have to take it. I’m hoping you’re a troll because nobody can be this stupid without really really trying.
And no, you can’t kick people out from your service at any time without cause. It turns out when you sell somebody a product that relies on services you agree to provide those services, what these people do on their Android phone with another company named beeper is none of your damn business. You can’t ban them. It’s fucked up. It isn’t entitled to expect the products you bought from Apple to continue to work. Despite what you do with your Android phone to say otherwise is insane. So again, I hope your troll or that you come to realize that you have rights as a consumer. Anyway, I’m tapping out on this one. Have a good evening everybody.

They own the server and the services that run on them.
gregorum@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Apple owns servers. Apple owns it services. And when you use them while breaking the rules, they get to kick you off of both. You are not entitled to anything.

I’m constantly blown away at the number of people who think issue is actually about bubble colors…
gregorum@lemm.ee 5 months ago
It is. You can get all the privacy and features you want on a dozen of other services.
helenslunch@feddit.nl 5 months ago
😂 no, it isn’t.
You can get it on hundreds of other services if the people you talk to also use those other services.
The problem is that they don’t because Apple does not allow you to use any other service with SMS fallback.
