You like android better? Cool. You like IOS better? Cool. They do essentially the same thing in different ways with different pros and cons. What works best for one person may not be for someone else.

In 2024 if you're arguing on the internet (or perhaps worse, in real life) about which phone is better you need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and take an assessment of your priorities.

Also, because I love downvotes apparently, this also applies to windows/linux/mac OS. Unless I'm on my Mac like "Gee I sure wish this was more open source, if only there was an alternative." I don't need you telling me to switch to linux bro.

Absolutely, well put!! It’s honestly sad in my eyes

I’ve given up especially when it comes to Linux vs Mac on the topic of open source. People will have such a violent reaction that they cannot possibly consider Apple as anything else but the literal antithesis of open source.

if you think Apple has a place in open source, you’d be right, but you’ll also get attacked for it because Apple bad.

Only a handful of months ago Apple released open source AI models that run on-device.

It’s so obvious over many years that Apple has always gotten their hands dirty in the open source world going back to even before the birth of OSX, both with use and contributions, yet this is stomped out by the notion of expensive and elitist Apple could never and would never actually bother contributing to open source codebases

I'm glad someone, mostly, got my point. I'm not an Apple fanboy by any means. I'm a "use the right tool for the job you are trying to do" guy. For me, that means using a mac to make music and art, using linux on older machines and for specific purposes, and using windows to game and work. But by golly, people sure do get up in arms about it.
