I don't think we need more "dramatizations" on this topic but rather realistic and pragmatic analysis and solutions. Frankly, while facing this just watching a show to pat yourself on the back as being part of the solution, isn't really appealing.
Oh please. Where was the article about the "Buy iCloud" "Buy AppleTV" "Buy Apple Fitness" nagging. The only thing driving here are senseless people who treat Steve Jobs, Apple like some kind of religion. There are tons of issues with MacOS and no one talks about them, or even when they do they get steamrolled by Apple lovers. It's a toxic place to be. Considering Apple is basically a China company that slaps a made in USA sticker on it, it explains the culture pretty well.
Yeah when I buy a hammer I always buy the one that has no labels on it of any kind. Just plain hammer and no signage on it whatsoever. Thats super important because what if I stop hammering and start reading the sign, could be a serious distraction. None of that, I am all about work and hammering.
Microsoft has no taste, no taste for charging you a ton of money for nothing tangible, but a green bubble and not being able to talk to your poor friends.
People need to stop representing Steve Jobs like some kind of visionary. He was an asshole who stole Wozniaks talents and money. Pretty sure once he saw the money coming in from ads, he'd be the first one to do it (in fact iCloud came around when he was around so likely he signed off on it). With our without Steve Apple is already doing this, many things Apple did that are shitty are being copied in the industry, including this ad; a direct borrow of the "buy iCloud ad" "buy AppleTV" "buy Apple Fitness" (etc) we've all seen.
Yeah, heard this before, most all learn to hate Macs after a little bit of time. A fresh of breath air is when you have a ton of control, MacOS is not really good at that. You have to do things a certain way and in particular purchase the right type of stuff and it's doesn't always work.
Yeah, but giving all website interaction data to a company for "convenience" is exactly not how to make that easier. The logins and account information belong on the client side along with the person; and should be implemented fully on a client (with a separate encrypted backup strategy). The way this whole thing was implemented is so it can be abused.
Cool, considering switching as well. At first glance so much Apple stuff, thinking that somehow iOS and Apple devices are more privacy friendly is kind of a false analogy. Apple has lied about privacy protections and if you look into it you will find that Apple collects data for itself while blocking others from doing it (from their "ad campaign"). For example, if you opt out of health data, Apple still collects this information in the background but just doesn't show it to you. AppStore has been shown to collect extensive data as well. Don't put all your eggs into the Apple basket.
