Right, because the only alternative is reverse engineering professional hardware. /s That's seriously what you think? No wonder you feel "compromise" is your best option. Good luck with that.
You're acting like it's the only option, but it's not. You don't need to lock yourself into a walled garden. You don't need to buy into a sunk cost fallacy. Even participating a little perpetuates and reinforces the bullshit you're complaining about, and they're never gong to suddenly give in to the way things should be. Stop letting these companies hold what you want hostage, dictating how you view your options.
Yes, because still giving them money is what will fix things 🙄
No idea who's the bigger asshole here, but it reminded me of a funny bit from years ago.
Radio communication between US and Canadian seamen -
Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States' Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand that YOU change your course 15 degrees north, that's one five degrees north, or countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
That's...dumb.
Wait. I thought the whole fem-malfoy thing was a fuck you to HP terfs. What about it is appealing to conservatives?
Disagreeing with you is not a "right wing talking point". Talking about the subject of a post is not "obsessing" over them. You're focusing so hard on finding enemies where there are none, over things that don't matter. These people agree with you 90% and all you've done in this thread is treat them like shit and accuse them of things that never happened. That's a seriously misguided way to build a movement.
Stop obsessing over one person
You posted the article about them. Now you're getting pissy about users voicing their own opinion on them?
Lol. "If you don't use the overhyped new product that's ruining our main product, you can't use anything." Tech companies have always been..."unusual" in their reasoning, but this is another level of illogical.
Actually? Yeah. Most people don't use that word correctly, but this fits.
You not appreciating someone reaching out a part of themselves to others doesn't make it lesser. That is something that makes the world better, not worse. More people should be so brave.
