Yeah it’s truly painful

I thought it was funny

Dualism everywhere. Jfc

I hate adobe and it’s precisely because they fucked me. I’ll never give them another penny. I want gimp to be good but it absolutely isn’t. I would be quite happy if it were

The UI and shortcut keys are unintuitive. Simple tasks that would take me seconds in Photoshop take me 5 minutes in gimp. I’ll never understand that there is always one person replying like you are here.

I really wish I didn’t hate gimp but I very much do.

Surprise! Apple simp strikes again!

Buying something legally isn’t enough. Apple owns the fucking thing because: security and simps say so

Nevermind that there are plenty of ways you could get into this scenario and even if it only happened once ever, Apple’s practice is bullshit, because: security and simps

I truly hope all this gargling some day leads you to accepting something even worse from these pieces of shit and and then it fucks you

Ok so if I owned this machine legally but didn’t have such proof, I’m sure you’d find a way to call me a fucking idiot for that too right? It would serve me right and apple would be blameless

Sounds like a bit of an overreaction

You really earn your “apple simp” tag. You know apple doesn’t give a fuck about you, actually.

And I really don’t care about your invalidations of what happened to me. If by some chance I did make some other mistake besides using my personal apple account, it’s irrelevant. I do not think it should be possible to accidentally opt in to this bullshit. It is a shitty feature to force on every user. And it shouldn’t be possible for an employee to render thousands of dollars worth of company hardware useless trash ready for the landfill. It shouldn’t be possible intentionally, let alone by accident. If you removed the apple schlong from you mouth for a second you might see my point but you won’t.

From the evil garbage can, I wish you happiness in your completely duelist attitude.

I’m not sure I follow. Thanks for seemingly being non-reactionary though.

If I could wave a magic wand, I’d first come up with some new form of socialism where maybe not everyone is 100% equal, but where literally everyone would get to live a fully comfortable life without fear of death or suffering. They’d get to take extended vacations and have fully paid healthcare. No starvation and no being limited to the shittiest food available. Maybe some people could have more than that, if they accomplished something to justify it.

Since I don’t have that magic wand, I’d just settle for billionaires paying equal percentages of taxes and being jailed when they break the law.

Apparently, suggesting the latter, for a lot of these commenters, means that I am a huge capitalist who loves inequality. Because I couldn’t possibly recognize that capitalism is both a huge piece of shit in practice but also does provide motivation to workers.

You missed the point entirely. Harassing me into signing into iCloud shouldn’t mean I ever have to do anything inconvenient at all, regardless.

I wasn’t presented with a dialogue that said “login to establish device ownership”. Instead it was “login to iCloud now” dozens and dozens of times. I have never once used iCloud nor will I ever. That part alone was indefensible. But then locking the device to that account is plain stupid and reckless. There are plenty of scenarios where this fucks people worse than having to choose from a few shitty options

Yeah probably. The same logic ought to be applied to felons who currently lose their right to vote. Rights being treated as privileges…

I said they **weren’t **removed. I think I was just commenting that China has covered up that it happened.

Thought leaders have been raising this issue for years. Among those calling for barring criminals from running for office: some guy named Donald Trump.

I am surprised that my comments on that post weren’t removed.

It is pretty horrifying that there are people in positions of moderating what thoughts are allowed to propagate who deny or cover up the events that took place in Tienanmen Square.

By painting me as “wanting inequality” you have freed yourself from considering another perspective. You don’t need to care about details like “basically no one on Lemmy would actually believe that” or “I’ve demonstrated that’s false”. Congratulations. Thought and actual conversation avoided. Me bad, you good.

Right. Absolutism is the only way.

Humanity will destroy itself because of this mind virus. All or nothing. Destroys lives at every level and it will lead to our extinction. But go ahead and embrace it. Because you’re RIGHT, after all.
