I feel like the most early Reddit feel of Lemmy is the abundance of users who adopt Apple hate as a personality trait.
I don't hate Apple because in most probability I'll never use their products.
However I fucking hate Android makers for following whatever dumb trends Apple introduces.
Give back our headphone jacks you motherfuckers!
Is it possible that it only feels that way because you've adopted Apple love as a personality trait? Cuz it's a rather mild Pooh meme.
It was just a mild observation from someone who was on Reddit since the earlier days.
Cmon dude, have you not been in any of the threads that remotely concern Apple? Lemmy absolutely seethes at the notion that anyone might actually prefer Apple products.
And before you call me a fan boy, I'm literally typing this on a Samsung phone while playing games on my windows PC. you don't have to be an Apple obsessed fan boy to find the circle jerk annoying
I like the stock.
I am not a cat.
I just think they look nice, pls don’t tell anyone.
You think that's bad, wait till you get into the Windows hate and Linux circlejerk.
It's just a fact that there are things in windows that are just objectively bad. No matter if in Terms of User experience or in terms of privacy.
Same with Apple tbf
Yeah, at least it's easier to disable trackers on apple(as I heard. I never used it.
Its not just hating on Apple, its hating on anything that isnt Linux.
Well, Apple uses a Unix like OS, that have a lot of nice things in common with Linux.
Not UNIX-like, iOS is real UNIX.
Not really
Never seen any FreeBSD hate around here.
That's the exception.
Never seen any OpenBSD or Haiku hate, either. Maybe people just don't like having their computers controlled by a giant corporation.
I am a PC/Android user, always have been. I am a hard apple hater, I've tried to keep up with the new devices though, and I've also repaired them in the past. I hate apple mostly due to just not liking to be locked on my device (lack of customization but that has been getting better AFAIK), the fact that the phone feels boring, the overpricing, the not friendly right to repair, the stupid lightning ports (Thanks EU), the "elitist" feeling...
But god damn are these new SOCs making me reconsider... I was already very pleasantly surprised with the Mac computers recently. I think apple silicon is just waaaay ahead at the moment. If competition doesn't catch up somehow soon, I think apple's monopoly will only grow.
Also, AMD over Nvidia. Not saying it's better, but I'll always go team red. Just like Apple, I hate nvidia's business practices.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind a good Apple bash for time to time, just saying this feels like Reddit of old. But yeah their fucking silicone is fucking crazy, who would’ve imagined a decade ago being like I prefer Apple for the hardware.
The M1 Mac book is my daily over Linux now. It's a wonderful machine, it's only concession is gaming can be a pain/not worth it. I like the "hobby" of it, but I know it's not for every one.
Got to love Apple for choosing to go with the Metal api over Vulkan.
Yeah I must say vulkan would've been sweet. But apple is big enough to mane metal work I guess... Time will tell, but I've never been closing to jumping aboard the apple train. Even though it kinda feels weird to me just thinking about it haha
I don't hate. I just laugh.
That just sweeps the shit apple is notorious for under the rugh doesn't it
It’s just as exhausting as you’d imagine teenage contrarians would be.
I personally like a lot of things Apple has done but I don't like how they do things and the level of control they try to maintain on my device (read: their customer's device)
I have seen a lot of hate along those lines, with people easily admitting that Apple silicon is good in a lot of ways
