My friends have YouTube/twitch. They’re extremely popular, in the 100k+ range. They all quit their job

That's surprising to me. Are 100k+ really enough to make a living?

I'm not a native speaker but always took it as short form for "go fuck yourself", not "I will fuck you".

Apparently, it's just 30 failed approaches of the same tool.

originally meant to threaten violent sexual penetration

Rougher times back then.

Well, sure, all we both have is annecdata.

The notion to defend even the stupidest design decisions (mouse charging port on bottom) or attacking users who point those out or even just ask questions (saw multiple of those when I was looking for answers about my iPhone then, when I gave it a chance) is very common in English-speaking social media and forums (or at least those that I frequent).

I've personally never seen anyone defending Samsung or Huawei in that matter. That may be different in their home countries of course but I don't speak those languages.

To say that DadeMurphy is representative of most Apple fans is certainly an exaggeration.

That's true. My experience is only about vocal Apple defenders not the silent fans or critical users which are probably the vast majority.

I haven't seen this for any other corp though.

No Windows user cheers for Microsoft when they publish record revenue figures. They know, they paid for it.
No Android user defends phone makers if the new model has nothing new but costs 10-20% more.

But there isn't a thread or article about Apple without some commenters defending them. Regardless of the shit they pull.

That's what actual Apple fanbois sound like though. I believe it's a specific case of Stockholm Syndrome.

The original Prince of Persia, you mean?

Sorry I missed that. I don't think you'll ever be happy using Windows on a touch device though. Too much relies on the traditional UX pattern, especially third-party applications.
