Be an iPhone enjoyer and defend Apple here on Lemmy.

There’s no beating the hive mind.

Breaking up before or after they were doing business with OneRep? Because they should have caught this before any of their customers ever paid for it.

You think you want this, but you really don’t. If Apple is gone then Android is all that exists and THAT IS A REAL MONOPOLY.

What existing rules? The rules designed for 19th/20th century oil companies that don’t apply to modern tech companies?

New rules are being written.

Apple could play in the game with a different set of rules

They’re playing a different game because they’re the ones who built the ballpark they’re playing in. Don’t like the game? Don’t go to the ballpark.

It’s so exhausting how you people simply can’t accept “don’t buy Apple” and leave it alone.

Tbh he should get the money if he somehow convinced all those mods to work for free

Well it’ll only be fully consenting brains.

Android is an ecosystem made up of OEMs under the lead of Google, and all these OEMs have different business models. Google’s however, is an ad-based monopoly. Totally different business model. You referring to Android as a single entity shows how clueless you are about this topic.

Mobile is a different environment compared to desktop, so you’re comparing Apples to oranges.

I’m convinced humanity doesn’t deserve software or computers in general. OP really be complaining about less than 6 quarters…

TPM on my motherboard is forever disabled and I’m going down with the Windows 10 ship. Another couple years and Proton will be even better than it already is.

Most upvoted Lemmy post I’ve seen since joining and OP is getting blasted in the comments by people missing the point.

I gotta hand it to Apple for taking one for the team and soaking up all of the EU’s anti-trust efforts. Lets other American tech companies do egregious shit like this. /s

Seriously. Reddit is a glorified link sharing service with comments looking for a 6+ billion valuation. Christian and a couple backend devs could recreate it all in a weekend.

Reddit is hopeful that AI training is their golden ticket but in all reality they’ll only ever have one large buyer. OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc, don’t want something that Gemini already bought.

With all that out of the way, I don’t see very many companies lining up to license a far left-leaning dataset that had all non-echo chamber discussion banned. I mean, look at how much trouble Google got in with an objectively racist Gemini that forced them to turn off human image generation.
