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.
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.
Instead of reacting to what it “sounds like I’m saying” why not react to what I am saying.
🤦♂️ I don’t even own a phone. I have a Mac for programming. I have 15 year old think pad with Linux for personal stuff. I have a Chromebook for testing. I use an old MacAir and raspi for Bitcoin.
These things are tools. You shit on people for buying snap-on instead of Kobalt too? How about we work together to solve the problems. Half of the US is using apple. I’m not going to throw them away because I of their choice of tools. They don’t even know about this space.
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.
#apple banning #Damus is to acknowledge #bitcoin is money

#[0] why is casa adding support for Eth?
Looks like a 350 shortblock or something, but I don’t recognize the water jacket holes
Lol
