    That moment when you’re stuck with safari because Apple said sideloading is dangerous 🙄

      And because you chose to buy an Apple device, when Android or Linux devices are available, for cheaper even…

        I bought apple devices because their software support is solid and the user interface is pretty.

        But the limitations were not worth the trade off. As there are now decent alternatives and I’m no longer stuck with just android on the phone side of things anymore. There have been quite a few advancements made in the linux phone area.

        I now have pixel 3a with ubuntu touch, old thinkpad with linux mint, a steam deck and gaming rig with linux nobara. I got the whole 9-yards. I will using more of linux as time goes on.

            I bought it used. The phone lasts me through alight, I would say it has the capacity for 4 hours of screen on time.

            Though Ubuntu Touch drains more on standby so often when I’m in the mood to try it I have to replug it in.

        Apple just has better integration for a lot of things, and the UI is just so much better

      Don’t mind people blaming you for choosing a brand. Their ire is misplaced, it’s the company’s fault as much as it’s the consumers fault and the consumers should focus their energy in convincing companies to change their ways or loose their loyalty. This petty meaningless victim blaming helps no one.

      It would help if you voted with your wallet from now on though.

        Yeah I will be buying Linux devices after I run my apple stuff into the ground.

        Apple limits choice/repairability and make my favourite little devs jump through hoops through draconian rules. I learned my lesson.
