Breaking up the music, tv, news, arcade, banking, and possibly cloud storage branches makes more sense to me than simply divorcing hardware from software. Not that I see any reason to do that since competition for those services already thrives on Mac/iOS.

Sounds more like trying to use a screwdriver to hammer in screws

This is what I think about AI being forced into many things these days. Feels more like an attempt to justify subscription plans than anything actually productive.

Is this thing the real reason playing Destiny 2 PVP modes sucks so much?

What purpose would there be in gaslighting something like this out of nowhere? Genuine question.
If you want to see examples of baseless vitriol directed at apple users, just keep reading the rest of the replies to OP's post.

The reality is that these Apple fanboys with values antithetical to software freedom exist,

Sure, just like anywhere else. You can't point your finger exclusively at the apple camp for that.

and want walled gardens everywhere.

Speaking of staw men...
Some apple users prefer apple's walled garden, sure, but they're not going around saying Google, Windows or Linux must be walled as well.

The point I’m going for is that I never see such levels of spite and toxicity directed at users of other platforms, be it Android, windows, Linux or whatever.

(Which is good, because that would be just as absurd as it is when directed at Apple users.)

For the hate-cult members circle-jerking over imaginary arguments with “fan boys” here. Actual Apple users either completely agree with the criticism, or simply don’t even care.

Feel free to hate on Apple the company, but stop trying so hard to make this place a home for baseless toxicity.

Edit: And just to drive home how pathetic this is, here’s a link to an article posted elsewhere in the fediverse about Google being shady af. Go look through those comments for a single soul saying anything about “Google/Android fanboys”.

So MH Rise is still busted? I figured they would have done something about that far more quickly

I’m confused by this password debacle. I am on my brother’s (US) family plan, but I’ve been living abroad the whole time. Nothing has changed for me at all. Does this mean there are some exemptions, that the crackdown just hasn’t hit my brother yet, or that he’s paying more now on my behalf without my knowing?

I honestly wouldn’t mind AI imagery simply being labeled as such.
