personal attacks are not a good look, however veiled.

Wait, isn't this you?

Try again chump.

Rules for thee, but not for me it seems eh. I do not apologize because you feel "personally attacked" because I pointed out, with links to Apples anti-consumer behavior, to Apples predatory behavior with developers, and Apple having to address the suicide/slavery. That's on you.

You find me a big tech manufacturer that’s squeaky clean and I’ll give you that one.

None of them are squeaky clean. No company is anywhere. But I can go into say Microcenter, and pick parts from various brands, they all work together and I can build a computer I'm happy with in the end. Something literally impossible with Apple products.

As for software, I don’t really use anything that’s not also available on at least some of the other platforms you mention. I’m not signed into my Apple ID on it, I only use Chrome on it to get the software I use.

Then you need a Chromebook. Or could use Linux. But unless your spoofing your user agent, everyone you connect to with on a browser, absolutely knows where it came from. It's not like, if I don't sign in with a Microsoft account, all of a sudden I'm going to pull a fast one on Steam.

I’m well aware of the issues but you thinking I’m somehow worse than anyone using a PC with Windows or whatever is just naive.

So your aware of the issues, ignore them and then use a straw-man argument. The slave labor being used in Apple is fine because... Windows... Ok.

And to top it all, you think I made some kind of attack on those who don’t like Apple.

Nope. I re-read my post, unsure where you go that from.

Again, it’s not looking good for you and you’re doing the heavy lifting for me.

Right, fuck me, I provided sources from various people. Clearly a bad look because I did research and presented evidence to my argument. And you think your on the moral/ethical high ground here, especially after you clearly are unbothered by the slave labor. But I need to be worried about my look to.. who exactly? Apple? You? Who exactly do I need to ensure I have a "good look" for?

Rules for thee, but not for me

You started it -

I don't know how you've managed to get on Lemmy

.

because you feel "personally attacked" because I pointed out, with links to Apples anti-consumer behavior

Nope.

None of them are squeaky clean. No company is anywhere.

That my friend is the sound of you conceding. Well done.

But I can go into say Microcenter,

I did this for years. It's one of the reasons I got a MBP. But you carry on ranting at me, it's all my fault apparently.

Then you need a Chromebook. Or could use Linux.

Chromebook and Linux are not for me. In fact they are considerably worse.

everyone you connect to with on a browser, absolutely knows where it came from

Good. That's useful, I'll keep doing it. Thanks.

The slave labor being used in Apple is fine because... Windows... Ok.

Not what I said. But you've conceded so whatever.

Nope. I re-read my post, unsure where you go that from.

Because you said -

Take your pick as to why people both on Reddit and Lemmy aren't super stoked about Apple products.

I provided sources

For no good reason it turns out.

And you think your on the moral/ethical high ground here, especially after you clearly are unbothered by the slave labor.

More inaccurate conclusions. You aren't very good at this.

Who exactly do I need to ensure I have a "good look" for?

I'll let you work that one out.

Have a nice Xmas!
