Haha, they won't even allow me to watch stuff on Netflix in 1080p because I use linux. Eat shit

MacOS is not in scope for example, despite iOS being scoped in.

But is MacOS as much of a walled garden than iOS? Not in the slightest, right? I'm fairly certain you can install random software on MacOS can't you?

I'd tried using it for python and it made up some fake library that does not exist to handle the complex task I was asking it do it. Utterly useless. The way it works is so complicated is simply has you fooled thinking it's more than a fancy auto complete, but it is literally exactly that. Just the "smartest" auto complete there is. Don't worry about it, at least you did not fall it love with it and then left your wife to be with ChatGPT, right?

Don't know why you are being downvoted. This is exactly it. If ChatGPT can find you a solution, then that solution is already out there and it just stole it from some human. That is fundamentally how ChatGPT works, the damn thing can't think.

All the "AI" can do is string together words actual humans have written. Those ChatGPT bots don't think.

In the end, as always, it will only benefit the companies. And all the people get is put out of a job because they have been replaced by some piece of software no one even understands anymore.

I got an iPad and those are pretty great. A lot of great (paid) apps that work extremely well on tablets. That's the benefit of having to develop for only so many devices, I guess. Now I don't use it much these days, but I am definitely gonna try out sideloading. It's probably gonna take some time to have anything to sideload tho.

We'd love to have you though.

I am gonna guess they have their own ad setup. So they collect the data, setup profiles and whatnot. Then an advertiser can come and pay to use their system for targeted ads. Now does that count as "selling your data"? Not technically I guess. Google does exactly the same thing tho, right? I fail to see how they differ in any way. I suppose you can HOPE that apple cares about its reputation enough to handle your data carefully, but that is about it. Hopes and prayers.

Are you comparing fleeing from war and poverty to moving to some other state because you care about abortions being available?

So? Companies can and have removed features like that at the behest of some dickwad in power. Don't take anything for granted. We need to heavily regulate them. Or hell take games. Capcom is currently adding DRM to 12+year old games. Garbage like that should be forbidden by law instead of relying on shitstorms to get companies to comply.
