I'm sorry, but no. Apple is more than a "choice" - they have been damaging the progress of consumer technology for over a decade now. Their success in selling overpriced, dated, and uninnovative technology has driven all their competition to avoid "risky" innovation, and to mimic low-cost, consumer-hostile practices.
It's okay to shit on a company. What you're doing is defending a focused attack on a brand. Get over yourself. Apple doesn't need your help, they are the wealthiest company in the entire world right now.
The title says apple users but sure take the least graceful interpretation of things since this is Lemmy
Bruh it’s not that deep. Just let people like what they like without shitting on them.
I'm not shitting on people at all. I never say a word to my friends with iphones and macs unless they specifically try to convince me they are the best.
I'm shitting on Apple. A company. Despite what some politicians want you to believe, I don't think companies are people.
The comment you originally replied to was about letting people choose what they like to choose. Your comment shat upon the idea and then went off on an angry tangent.
The original comment was unironically shitting on someone's comedic opinion of Apple, a company.
If you own apple products, good for you. I don't care in the least, nor will I judge you.
I do care about Apple selling them for the prices they do, though. And for their business practices making it hard to repair and maintain said devices. In my opinion, this makes them a shitty company.
