I use Apple products, think they're a shitty company, but who offer the best products in a world of shitty companies. And as someone who's used Macs since 2007, I've noticed time and time again how people will shit on me and my choice of computer while I never shit on theirs in return.
Do I bitch about Windows on the occasions I have to use it? Yes, of course, because it's fucking terrible/ not what I'm used to, but I appreciate that some people are happy to use it, or have to for whatever reason. My criticism of the OS isn't a personal attack on anyone who uses it.
But yeah, my choice of computer is a personal failing, apparently.
🤷🏻
Amen to that.
I’m yet to find a single thing I need to do on my phone that required a side loaded app too. I’m sure there are cases, and I am glad the option exists, but it isn’t like people with a normal iPhone are completely shackled.
I think a lot of power users out there would be pleasantly surprised if they took another look at Apple with a more open mind.
