why is there need for an emotional reaction? It's just a tool. Philosophically, it's no different than using photoshop to touch up old photos. It's just a more "high-tech" version.…

These companies charge money for their services and have competitors. AWS’ entire business models is providing developer services, and if I don’t like their offerings I can go else…

Thank you! And not just any website, a good mobile website, too.

Same here: the default option is not to put your website on the App Store, I’m sorry but it isn’t. It’s 2024 and there have been so many advancements in web technology, I’m tired o…

> because Patreon.com is not just a website, it is a complex web app I don’t agree with this as someone who uses Patreon relatively frequently. It’s actually quite a simple website…

No, you just don’t have an argument. Patreon has a perfectly working mobile application called Patreon.com that doesn’t have any gatekeepers. It’s fully mobile, responsive, and all…

Again: you can literally go on Patreon.com on your iPhone right now and subscribe to any creator you want without paying Apple’s fees. The mobile web is literally a suitable altern…

But they’re not stopping me from supporting creators. I can go to Patreon.com on my iPhone right now and subscribe to any creator without Apple’s fees. If they took their app off t…

If Patreon doesn’t like Apple’s rules, they should just take their app off the App Store. All these companies moaning about Apple yet aren’t doing the one thing they have the power…

> There are also users who want to take the responsibility on themselves. They want the ability to host their own apps for free (or lower costs), faster update cycles, and just ove…

Ctrl+click. I find it more intuitive than right clicking personally.

Unlike Reddit, Apollo was stopping users from seeing ads and Reddit gaining ad revenue from them, so they went to charge the Reddit app devs for this loss in revenue. The YouTube e…

Everyone who makes this kind of comment must not play video games online. The "money play" is a cut on digital sales, and balancing subscription fees with the cost of services rend…

Look up Xim, it gives an unfair advantage to console players by allowing a mouse and keyboard input when the developer hasn’t intended so (official APIs exist if they do). Cronus i…

Xim users destroying the integrity of multiplayer FPS causes this, unfortunately. The fact of the matter is if you’re allowed to plug in any peripheral into a game console, you can…

So you go to purchase a device from a company who has been doing this since their very existence, is known for doing this, and has never pretended or tricked consumers into thinkin…

And a business has freedom to restrict their products to prevent what they believe isn’t the use case they want. And users have the freedom to put their money where their mouth is …

She does replace it every couple of years (well, I do anyway) and she loves that fact. What confuses me about all this is the fact that anyone who wants an easily repairable phone …

FairPhone exists and is great, I recommend!

I think inventing a new screw would be a design thing? In a perfect world a screw that is easily replaced and allows them the design they want would be used. However if that doesn’…

Why would a consumer like my mum care about opening the phone up? You still haven’t explained how choosing to tradeoff design over repairability is anti-consumer when the consumer …

I assumed the reason Apple’s phones are stolen for parts are that, unlike a lot of Android counterparts that can be reset, Find My is so bulletproof that (without phishing) iPhones…

I don’t understand how this is Anti Consumer in any way? I have an iPhone and a FairPhone. One’s niche is that it’s repairable, and the other is that it’s not. A consumer who wants…

Regarding your second point, I agree with the Find My praise, however Find My itself illustrates why every little thing done to make it “more of a ballache” to steal an iPhone, mor…

I don’t know if there’s data to back this up. I’m simply assuming based on what I know. What I know comes from people I went to school with who have stolen phones before telling me…
