Apple is at the first major cross-roads since the passing of its late co-founder Steve Jobs 12
years ago. It finds itself still largely dependent on the product lines and businesses that Jobs left behind. Its Vision Pro has received mixed reviews on launch, while it is also facing several other headwinds including a major lawsuit against what the DOJ claims are its anticompetitive practices.
The dude who wrote the message you responded to is probably a Linux user and privacy weirdo or something.
This is Lemmy. EVERYONE is either a Linux user, a privacy weirdo or both.
Source: I’m both
I showed up because of the IPO at that one website.
Me, the laziest person ever, motivated to come here. Truly an accomplishment.
Neither of them.
I appreciate more privacy but I will not limit or even chastize myself.
If neither, may I introduce you to our Lord savior Linus Torvalds?
…we need normal people on this platform…
I can understand the Linux part not being common.
But to say privacy is a weird thing is really sad. The average person should go out of their way to be privacy-conscious. In the US, we got people getting arrested for miscarriage, people getting on lists for watching YouTube videos/, and companies now getting people’s ID before they can visit a site.
Not being privacy-conscious is just being stupid.
That’s not what was said.
They said “they’re probably one of those privacy weirdos”, which is different.
I value privacy and am conscious of it, more so than the average user. I choose, willingly and knowingly, to use certain services that damage my privacy in exchange for their services.
The “privacy weirdos” are the people who see that statement and go “well you shouldn’t ever be using service x because it’s not secure you stupid dipshit! Just use service y, it’s FOSS and has half the features but it respects privacy so it’s better in every way!”
Dunno how the person got “I’m a privacy nut” from “ads aren’t good for journalism” tho, that doesn’t track
They should be preaching their privacy thingies to the people in real life, not on the internet 🙄 for maximum reach, like how the evangelists do.
Agreed. Lemmy shall be the tool to increase Linux adoption.
Our fediverse comrade
Da!
I mean, for some of the stuff I’ve seen here I wouldn’t even necessarily disagree with a comment like this but the OP saying advertising violates journalistic integrity has literally nothing to do with that. That’s just common sense.
