  • If it wasn’t, then buying a single copy would legally allow you to sell an infinite amount of copies.

    Because that’s what actually owning software means.

    This. Is. A. FUCKING. Lie.

    If I buy and own a physical copy of a book. I am not then entitled to set up a printing press and sell my own word-for-word copies of said book. Same applies to ownership of digital goods.

    If I go to GOG and buy a DRM free game (aka I would then own that copy) I still wouldn’t have the legal right to distribute copies to other people.

    That’s because copyright laws exist, and they apply to both situations I described. Shame on you for mindlessly repeating industry lies.


  • They have closed source code, so nobody besides Apple’s engineers and programmers can verify those claims. And since they work for Apple they have an inherent bias.

    Since their claims cannot be independently verified, we cannot take their claims at face value. It doesn’t prove they’re lying, but it also doesn’t prove that they’re telling the truth. All people know is what their marketing department puts out.

    But if that’s enough for you to believe that they respect privacy, then I have a bridge to sell you as well…





  • Just like Android users who say they want to get away from Google, all the while shouting “never Apple” despite Apple claiming to stand for privacy while Google does not hide the fact that they sell your data to the highest bidder.

    despite Apple claiming to stand for privacy

    CLAIMING.

    They’re both multibillion dollar tech corps that sell your data. Trust neither.

    I should also point out that one has had a defacto walled garden for decades now, the other is still putting up the walls. But regardless, trust neither.

    Don’t switch to Apple. Switch to actually private operating systems like GrapheneOS or Linux.








  • Not really. Steven Seagal has never been in actually good shape or skilled at a real martial art. All of his fights are completely staged. And aikido is complete mystic nonsense.

    If you were to insult him, he’d be less dangerous than the average overweight middle-aged dad drunk from beers at a football game or some stoner at burning man.
