If you have terabytes of data in iCloud, use their mail, contacts, photos, everything? Plus decades of purchased content, expensive devices losing functionality by dropping the iPhone… you have to basically replace everything with something else and it’s tedious especially for a less techy person. This is the reason walled gardens are anti consumer.

I think for most privacy nuts it comes down to “I don’t trust them and it’s closed source. They could be hiding anything in that code.”

And then there’s the people who can’t afford or won’t spend the money it takes to have an enjoyable Apple experience.

The only way to be truly private is to not carry a phone at all and use only FOSS solutions.

Oh good. 6.1 seems to fix the only bugs that have personally bothered me. I’m stoked!

Oh to be a fly on the wall in her office as she’s getting briefings on this

In the minds of these people, Hamas are baby murdering killers who must be stopped.

Casualties be damned.

She knows the cost. She doesn’t care.

Wow! Opinion pieces! It’s not like every newspaper for the past 50 years has had these!

Ehhhh my friends told me they prefer indigenous or native. To many, “Indian” is a slur.
