  10/10 with salt sprinkled

  That doesn't make sense. 5/7 already is the perfect score.

  You cracked the case! Wait.. does that mean, some people on 4chan lie?!

  Had you put it on a blockchain a couple of years ago, you could've made millions.

  That and the other good thing: no distro will make decisions that are even in the ballpark of insanity of those by big tech corps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Give them a break. They just moved from Windows - moving to another distro is a small step in comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those who are against iOS and Apple in general, have you tried their devices lately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I had an iPhone 12 for two weeks before I returned it. I tried to like it because, while you're still in a corp walled garden and they cannot really be trusted, they so far are better than Google at least with regards to privacy.

  However, there's a list of stuff that got me too annoyed. Some examples:

  • the stock keyboard is just garbage. All the infamous typos on social media come from iPhones because they choose to correct words that have already been written. You also cannot sensibly replace the stock keyboard because you cannot block a specific app's data usage and keyboards are far too critical apps to grant internet access.
  • stock apps are good overall (better than Android) but that means people don't make replacements. The mail app could've been great but they choose to not support PGP and it's practically impossible to set up.
  • you cannot replace Safari completely, some apps still open it. Safari is crap because no way to install adblock.
  • you still feel that iOS wasn't developed as a multi-threading system. I had a few apps that wouldn't correctly work while in background
  • apps are far more expensive than for Android. Lots of subscription-based plans, more comparable to full-price PC software than mobile apps.
  • no native file system access. Apps are sandboxed and handle their files themselves. If prefer to do that myself but no chance on iOS.
  • the community is garbage. Every question or critcisim is the user's fault. The Holy Corp does not make mistakes. Collective Stockholm syndrome.

  I also ran into various bugs. I do on every platform but the "it just works" narrative is especially strong for Apple and it's just not like their fans claim.

  You may or may not have a point, but the beautiful thing is that you can just join a community on another instance that allows that content.

  Technically true but OP is absolutely correct that catch-all rules (and them being enforced like that) hurts our small and hopefully growing platform(s). If communities have to migrate they may just ditch the Fediverse for some corp platform again.

  So deep. So hard to get.
