Then don't go out and willing buy Google's, Apple's, Microsoft's, your bank's, or your government's devices, which you already know ahead of time are locked to their own rules? What makes you feel like you are entitled to this lmao you are not required to own any of those devices, if you don't like them why are you still purchasing them year on year
And if everyone agreed with you and stopped buying them things would sure change fast then, but newsflash next to nobody in the real world actually cares about this crap, hell millions of people literally buy iPhones in mass without even considering Android phones solely to continue using iOS (which Apple built and owns through a fuckton of time and money, what makes you think you're entitled to change everything about it or to be able to use it on any other random device), nobody wants a Steam Deck either they all want a Switch which is massively locked down and the same could be said for Windows and Mac over trash Loonix (OS is literally given away for free for decades and still nobody wants it XD)
Maybe build or sell your own devices or purchase one from a company that already exists which has such rules you like in place, too logical I guess though ofc rather do nothing but cry online about why the world isn't made to exactly how I want it and continue funding those who I despise lmfao surely that'll work out well, you accepted their terms and they don't owe you sheeeeet
This is such an insanely foreign perspective to me. Who gives a shit if people are "entitled" to total control over their hardware, a world where people have that control is better, so we should force companies to comply. Why would anyone care about the freedom of a multi-billion dollar corporation to fuck over their users lmao
If I started a company selling a product with my rules and you bought my product accepting my rules and then you started randomly bitching and crying to me about the rules then explain how I am suddenly the one who's the wrong, and if you could do so and force me to have losses why would I bother even starting the company to create and sell you the product you want in the first place
It's reality my friend (something 99% of users on this website seem to not be living in), if you could install literally anything on anything then you can wave goodbye to all the competition and just 1 king os that everyone flocks to and 1 king piece of hardware, would be an absolute disaster without competition and why would companies even attempt to compete in that world, you can't win customers over with good software (locked to your hardware) nor good hardware (locked to your software), most development would cease worldwide as most go bankrupt
How to show you are an asshole and know nothing speedrun any %
how to think independently for yourself and hold true to your genuine opinion not being a little sheep or goat blindly following the mainstream opinion online just so you won't be attacked by a group of noname nerds on the internet with them slapping a -1 by your name any %
Must be hell to grow up nowadays being conditioned into being a bunch of softies who instantly get upset at anyone daring to speak their mind or go against the grain with valid reasons behind it
I think that's really disrespectful for people to be literally buying iPhones in mass. They really deserve it if someone starts upturning tables in that situation imo.
I have nothing to say but this fucking notification won't go away so HELLO
Lmfao I left like 3 comments on this website this afternoon thinking nothing of it and checking back now I have 18 lovely notifications to go through
Surely all the lovely people of this community will be friendly to me right #TheTolerantLeft
It's a nice feast for me that these lost souls have been cooking up in the background I appreciate all the entertainment :)
Ew. The chuds have discovered Lemmy apparently. Go back to reddit.
Why? Reddit is a leftist hellscape and this place is like a giga leftist hellscape where you are all even more insane
