    I’m not a part of the apple ecosystem, but i have the same attitude towards tech these days. I dont want to be spending time debugging and tuning stuff just to get it working. Tech is tools, that shit just needs to work, fuck tinkering with everything just to get it working properly.

      I feel the same, but find things getting shittier and shittier. I’m paying more and more for less and less. Then I stumble on an open source project that does all that I want and it’s free.

      Bitwarden vs LastPass Joplin vs Evernote A million different foss projects for all the shit Google has shut down…

      Sometimes spending a little time setting stuff up, ends up saving a huge hastle migrating away from the commercial project that is going to fail unless they fuck over their users.

        Yeah i do also use a bit of FOSS, and it has been increasing lately, but I still stick to projects with as little fidgeting required as possible.

      I’m so lost here… Have you ever even tried using a brand new Android phone, or Windows computer? Your comment suggests that no, no you have not.

      Like, hey, you do you. Mac and iOS are totally fine. But don’t spread nonsense about Apple being easier. It’s not easier in any way. In fact, I genuinely find iOS to be more complicated in recent years.

      You do not need to “tune” an android phone or windows computer. Like… I honestly don’t know what that even means.

      I own and fix all types of devices, and apple devices are often some of the most problematic. They do NOT “just work”, but you know what that’s from? It’s from Apple’s marketing campaign rolled out years ago by Steve Jobs.

        Did you even read my comment? In the very first sentence i say "i am not a part of the apple ecosystem…i said tech (both HW and SW) needs to be easy and ready to go out of the box, i didn’t say android phones and Windows weren’t. It was mostly a comment towards FOSS alternatives which are often not.

          You replied to someone that strongly asserted that non-Apple devices are convoluted, difficult to use, and confusing. You did so by agreeing that you also hate difficult to use, confusing, and convoluted technologies.

          This struck me as disingenuous. I apologize if you are, indeed, not an Apple fan in an active state of disingenuity. This said, if you are to be believed, then I don’t understand what your comment was adding to the conversation here. Was your entire point truly that you simply dislike confusing technology? Did that really need to be said?
