Just a moment. Need to find the tweezers and magnifying glass.

What’s the test for Linux user’s fantasizes moral superiority?

Sounds like projection. Probably just got back from meeting with his Russian handlers and posted this to sooth their impotent rage.

You think parents should get their kindergartens an Apple Watch?

Perhaps you think I’m referring to children past elementary school.

Regardless of what Apple says AirTags are and are not for people will use them however they see fit. For example, they are not for tracking pets but there are pet collars designed to hold an AirTag so clearly many people are ignoring Apple.

Attaching an AirTag to a child’s backpack seems like an obvious way to track one’s child, even if it’s not supported use case.

The purpose isn’t track things you know how to find but to find things that get lost; like children. There is also enough paranoia about kidnapping that I’m sure there are at least a few children in every classroom that are tagged.

I can only imagine how often teacher’s phone light up for these.

Without having to look at the device?

This thing is more rant than article so it’s hard to refute what is being said.

People who tell you they are smart never are.

Likewise, people who tell you they’ve figured out how to navigate the system without being influenced by it are the easiest to control.

One of its basic premise here that is flawed. Most people go to the polls knowing exactly who they are going to vote for. Those who don’t, are the ones marketers are trying to influence.

It isn’t really clear what the goal of this rant is. I find a lot of these things come down to the adage “teenagers think they invented sex” – people often confuse their mental awakening as novel discovery.

These people are rarely smart and are rarely worth listening to as they clearly fail to understand the next steps to such self discovery is to explore existing knowledge.

Unfortunately much of the world feels entitled to the labor of others and refuses to acknowledge the mental gymnastics we accept as a society.

One has to look no further than the way we treat food service employees. People demand to be served. They feel they are entitled to their basic human needs being serviced while blaming those servicing them for being under valued.

It’s sick and twisted; our society is mentally ill.

Those old POTS phone lines did carry a few volts.

Yes. Free to think it because it’s true. Apple doesn’t sell their users out, they get their money up front on the hardware…the thing people like you call the Apple Tax.

Hardware flaw

None of this is spyware. Not a single piece.

If I cared I could have guessed these were some of the examples you added to your “Apple is bad head cannon” but these still aren’t what is being alleged by the original poster, spyware.

At best you can claim Apple is using terms and conditions to add wiggle room but again, not spyware.

I asked if you know what spyware is but I get that it doesn’t matter. Your head cannon is unbeatable and it’s easier to dismiss me as a no nothing asshole. The crowd has spoke, this technology forum is more interested in groupthink than technology.

There are a lot of smart people making sure Apple hardware supports Linux. There is a limited number of variations, the hardware itself has high built quality and Apple pushes support into the Linux community so the hardware can more easily run Linux.

The same cannot be said about any random windows laptop.

As others have noted, if you want a Linux first laptop, there are options.

However this idea that Apple spies on its users has no merit. It’s a claim I have only witnessed being made by the witless.

I’ve been in the internet long enough to know not to expect fools to accept they are fools.

Unlike the morons of the internet, I am always ready to be proven wrong. However, it doesn’t look like that’s about to happen here.

You keep making that claim about spying without attempting to back it up.

That wasn’t the accusation.

There are many who use Apple laptops as Linux laptops.

You made the accusation, you back it up. I’m not doing the leg work for you.

Apple spyware? Cute that you make shit up to justify your victimhood. The vendors that install actual spyware appreciate your ignorance.
