I'm a realist, nobody should just go throw away their devices because of some stupid decision by some desk jockey. And I'm not stupid enough to think Google isn't evil (They don't even try to say other wise anymore πŸ˜‚ )

But after this shit, anybody who buys a new Apple device is either just out of touch, or doesn't care about their personal liberties. They hate bitcoin, they hate freedom, and they have made it clear they don't want their users to have choices.

This absolutely should hurt them financially.

If they didn't wake up with all of the serious data breaches like ICloud long ago, I don't think they ever will.

Might be controversial, but same goes for Windows users, no excuses not to be using something like Mint/Ubuntu/PopOS + Wine, it's stupidly easy to install things with Lutris and Bottles. System76 and other companies make OEM laptops with Linux already installed.

It's Stockholm Syndrome, they know it's bad and even willfully acknowledge it, but they won't vote with their wallet on new purchases. They continue on with the abusive relationship and defend them even when it defies logic.

They crazy part is I get people telling me all the time they don't use Linux because it's too hard or techy. It's easier than running Windows by a long shot, I usually keep a windows I stall dual booted for those times you may need it. I haven't actually ever needed to use windows in years. And every time I have booted into it, I've wanted to beat a hole in the wall with my laptop by the time I finally got to doing whatever I was doing.

Ubuntu/Debian/Mint are all so easy now, and I know other distros are super user friendly now too. Not to mention free and open source.
