Where did I say throw it away?

I am talking about the users, not the product.

You just said you hope apple taxes…

Every lightning node is paid for its utilization. If they provide payment through lightning, it will legitimize the bitcoin network in the minds of many normies. I don’t know what would happen, but I think people would start becoming more comfortable with products like BTCPay, and the devices that could interact with the most Bitcoin systems would be rewarded.

like the iPhone has made people more comfortable with digital payment methods, I believe it has helped the adoption of Bitcoin, especially lightning.

Mac OS is a required OS for certain types of work. With the introduction of apple silicon, it will not be so easy to put Mac OS on non apple products.

Part of why apple has done so well, is it created a really great programming language in 2014 and open sourced it. It works with Linux and Windows. It can also be used in developing apps for Android.

Apple is a ruthless competitor. They will take what they can. We need to create solutions, not tell people what to do. It’s not out of touch to buy something that lets you do your work best. What companies can a person buy from and it is ok?

we have the cold card and other wallet devices. Maybe when the cost of using apple or google gets too high, that will create the investment opportunity for open source wallet devices/software to take the stage. We haven’t even created a good alternative for most people yet.

Graphene OS is cool, but how much do you know about Daniel Micay?

The more you learn about the guy developing Graphene OS, the more you might question if you can trust it.

I'm not even going to attempt to address this circular logic word salad. There is literally nothing I need MacOS to do. I didn't say I want apple to tax, you did. Nobody is getting thrown away, I'm not even sure what you're ranting about. You can't point out one guy involved in a large project who stepped away, and say it can't be trusted, then advocate for the massive corporation that has proven they can't be trusted and want to restrict your choices.

I can not even begin to unpack the shitcoin mindset here, and I don't have any interest in debating it further with you, as you can't even maintain one logical stance in this discussion.

Lol, slow down when you are reading. Cmon man, we have chatted in nests together. Stop reading my stuff through the lens of an apple fan or something.

i copy pasted your responses and responded to them. I was showing you the comment, and my response.

a lot of people use Apple specifically because of its reduced functionality in some ways. Because the apps can not be side loaded, it is very difficult to plant malware on an apple device as opposed to other devices.

Apple is the malware, IMHO.

You use the devices you enjoy, bud. That's the beauty of free choice! But there is zero value they bring to the table for me. I'll use the money I save to stack more sats.
