People buy anything because of trends. Not just Apple products.

Just the amount of text you wrote which I’ll never read shows how you’ll always try to prove your point, even if it was based on a fallacy to begin with. Just go and live a life my friend.

Because the way this conversation started was a logical fallacy you weren’t aware of. I like to teach.

You’re dragging it too. I know now, you are not one to learn. But can you at least learn from this and move on?

You’re assuming I’m assuming.

Experience doesn’t matter if you don’t read Wikipedia links given to you by random people :)

Edit:

I’m actually making that comment based on

has another tone to “in my experience as”

Didn’t actually want to educate you, but I feel this edit won’t hurt. Literally.

Across the board indeed. Scrutiny in code is one thing, where this story, as far as is known right now, really went south is the abuse of a trusted, but vulnerable, member of the community.

I know the (negative) spotlight is targeting Jia Tan right now (and who knows if they (still) exist), but I really hope Larhzu is doing okay. Who’s name is mentioned in the same articles.

Mental health is a serious issue, that, if you read the back story, is easily ignored or abused. And it wasn’t an unknown in this story. Don’t only check the code, check up on your people too.

That’s another logical fallacy: Argument from authority

We’re in the technology sub. People here are old enough to know how to Google (old forums, preferably Reddit, as Lemmy is absent), they don’t know how to use an AI effectively (just look at how they’re trying to justify that). Don’t worry about the downvotes and their nonsense responses. Those are the same people who microwave their water instead of using an electric kettle.

Many people don’t listen to local music or pop music. It’s very relevant if you can only get real music on a physical medium.

And out of everything available iTunes is your first choice too?

Soms people here on Lemmy are even more insufferable than any other social media.

Don’t you dare buy a cd with the music you like. BUY FROM ITUNES, while in the next thread they say FUCK APPLE.

You do know that the content in the iTunes Store isn’t the same in each country?

Don’t buy the shit you know you won’t use in a decade. Not that hard.

Bullshit. I have an iPad from 2011 still in use, Macbook from 2012 still fine running Debian, etc.

I understand that if you’re tech incompetent you need to throw shit out after 2 years, but don’t blame the rest of us for the amount of trash you produce.

Edit: Funny how people downvote someone else for their own dumb actions. You’re all consumers, and bad ones at it apparently.

Nooooo don’t take away my Android :(

Please don’t ban Google 🙏

While being compliant with GDPR depends on the instance that pulls your data (which is the premise), the Fediverse isn’t in any way close to being private if you can’t delete your own data everywhere.
