You're really twisting yourself into a pretzel to make it seem like Apple has made it impossible to install Asahi or something. Introducing these weird analogies about doors and killing people just dilutes whatever point you think you're making, and only invites people to fork the conversation with their own "well akshually it's like inviting you into my kitchen but not giving you a cookbook" retorts. Be direct, make…

better point than i made by getting down into the analogy mud, well put

You are the first in my life who said to a cognitive dissonance that it’s well put. People always amaze me.

If I allow you to cross my main door, but I'm 100% kill you immediately after that, do I really allow you into my home, or not? Your legalese only works in court, and Apple and fanboys spread this nonsense only because of legal reasons.

idk dude killing someone is pretty different from doing nothing i think it’s more like “i’ll give you keys to my alien space ship, but our culture doesn’t write things down in a language you understand. be careful!”

Except of course they did something. They created a new language from scratch when they knew this whole situation beforehand.

My analogy is perfect, because it’s easy to filter people out who cannot add anything to the discussion. They immediately start to divert the discussion to orthogonal topics, which has nothing to do with the core topic. It’s a bait for stupid people. It makes obvious when the commenter really has well thought thoughts, or just parroting something.

But AirPods are the only wireless headphones with which you can use the mic without having to suffer from horrible audio playback and microphone quality because of Headset/Handsfree.

They suffer from that on both Linux and MacOS.
