I like both iOS and Mac OS and especially the hardware. It’s not the best specs but definitely the most thoughtful package.

Obviously don’t like their store policies and glad they are being sued but I wouldn’t want Apple to go away.

Where does it end though? Government deciding the ports. Cool. The server policies. Cool. What next? At some point you have to stop and realize that you just don't want the walled garden they're selling. And continuing to buy their products only delays would be competitors from meeting your needs. I mean have at it I guess. I hate Apple and their products. But I also don't buy them. I don't use them. And I certainly don't demand that they change by force. They eventually will go away if you keep taking away control of their shit. It's like their users want to nationalize the company one bit at a time. You at least don't believe in free markets or property rights if you don't think they should be able to set the terms of the apps on their own servers.

I don't agree with Apple. I just think it's worse to use force in place of markets.

I think we’re talking past each other about unrelated concepts. All I’m commenting on is the product and they are great.

Is the app store not part of the product? Their whole product philosophy is one of control. They've engineered all of them that way in virtually every respect. Repairs, hardware, software, etc. The entire stack is controlled by Apple. If you don't like that for the app store, where does it stop broadly? Other people didn't like the charging ports. Apple customers are constantly fighting the company to various degrees simply because it isn't really the philosophy they want.

You're just doing it with the app store. I get that. But their app store mentality is the exact same with every aspect of their products when you boil it down. You just happen to be okay with the other bits.

Yes, they are a writer so 12 years ago I bought a MacBook Air and I still have the same MacBook Air I figured since I’m gonna be using eight hours a day I might as well like and enjoy the experience. Having said that all Monopoly are there Monopoly. All money in Silicon Valley has is and always will be in government military money pretendingto be venture funds. We need to wake up from this very revolting reality and it’s a quick fix we’re on the right app for that. Well not a quick fix.

I'm not really talking to people who love the Apple approach as it is. I'm speaking to people who keep giving them money even though they don't like that Apple doesn't give a fuck about them. And then use government to force Apple to do what they don't want to do. Just stop giving them money. They don't have a monopoly on anything they don't own and that you didn't agree to when you gave them money voluntarily.
