Same i didnt expect it but glad to see its now a choice not a dictation

glad it lead to something good

Me: buys used android, replaces with degoogled android and only uses free software

I do, pinephone+mobian(Debian mobile) and a librem5 with pureOS.

Work? Damus? Doesn’t matter. They do have a lot of choices for users, but they just want to make money involving digital transactions. It’s a company.

Think about cars… now they really don’t want you to have a choice, but it’s mostly because of manufacturing costs. Go do a build and price on a car and you’ll see how little choice you have. They are just trying to get as much value as they can.

Apple isn’t stopping us from anything. Only the government does that. The government could snap their fingers and make apple do whatever they want. So what if apple bans an app. This was great for bitcoin.

They banned Damus because you could sell digital content. Oh yeah? Sell it for what? Well it takes money to buy something.

This was a direct acknowledgement by one of the most powerful businesses ever that bitcoin is money. If they want a piece of the transaction, they are going to have to run their own node and have us open channels with them. This would be awesome. Maybe apple would integrate Lightning into their payment technologies.

GM! Black coffee, just like my soul.

Good morning Josh!🌅☕

Espresso for me today.

Have a great Wednesday fren!

Indeed but pinephones already exist and can run around 20 different distros already.

Maybe. Both sides to the conflict are being irrational IMO. Sad part is the person that got the ball rolling died several years ago. I’m about the only one that still gets along with both sides. Anyway theres ownership of probably a million dollars worth of land involved so I expect it to continue. I hope it doesn’t but we’ll see. Money does funny things to people.

But then I won’t understand how it works. I think I need to take the pain and start from ground zero

The MacBook Pro is still the best laptop you can buy as far as I can see, but I may have to move on for reasons of principle.

But not Mac OS

And I don't mean to sound like that's what I thought you mean.

I do agree this should hurt then financially for people that care about this stuff as we do our best to combat it.

For me it was always about personal preference. Last I had an iPhone was like 2012 or something. I always liked their build quality. But they lost some of that later on, I never really cared for the interface. Even if it was easy to use.

Though I don't take pleasure in the told you so stuff. I wish we had more freedom to choose what we liked and not be beholden to the corporate thumb.

But. I'm not surprised we don't 🤷‍♂️

I've been an Apple user for 15 years but I'm thinking hard before I buy another Apple product.

You can run multiple OS on a Mac.

I just want a desktop version of Brave that will fit in my pocket and has a 12-hour battery. I'll figure out the rest from there lol

I’m committing to a pixel and start my journey. Have avoided for such a long time but I’m done
