That is not correct.

I thought you were referring to satanists as Satan worshipers and just using the term incorrectly, my mistake.

Essentially banning any apps that would hurt googles profits.

I thought that was pretty obvious.

We’re just not gonna see eye to eye on this.

I want privacy and freedom. You want Google to dictate what apps you can use even though it doesn’t effect you.

You don’t give a shit about people who rely on apps that aren’t from the play store. You cant seem to understand why it’s bad because it won’t effect you. It’s selfish

You need an ID for those activities because it is required by law. Apples and oranges. Your argument is a logical fallacy of false equivalency.

A government dictating what you can and cannot do by law is a completely different thing than some random company telling you what you can and can’t do with a device you own.

And again, if you’re uncomfortable with that - then you still have the option of only downloading apps via the play store where identities are already verified.

So again, it’s the gay marriage argument - do you support the freedom of others to do something you may not want to do? Or would you rather restrict others freedom when it doesn’t effect you? If it’s the latter, then I think you’re an objectively bad person.

That’s interesting, where did you grow up? I grew up believing everybody had the right to privacy. And to not provide your identity to strangers on the internet

It’s like gay marriage. If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to. But don’t support restricting the freedom of others because it won’t effect you

You don’t have a problem with Google dictating what you can and cannot do on your own phone? Seriously?

What’s the benefit of that?

Bluetooth alternatives aren’t better, that’s laughable.

You cant buy beyerdynamics DT-990s with Bluetooth, you cant get Sennheiser HD 490 Pros with Bluetooth, you cant buy Audeze LCD-5s with Bluetooth. I could go on and on but you get the point. Good headphones don’t use Bluetooth.

The nice headphones a lot of us have had for years, well before the headphone jack was removed don’t have Bluetooth.

So when you say they’re better 1. You’re wrong. And 2. You’re missing the point.

If you prefer Bluetooth, fine, but phones with headphone jacks still have Bluetooth. You’re only ok with it because it doesn’t effect you and I think that’s appalling.

Imagine phone manufacturers remove the ability to use Bluetooth headphones and I say “that’s fine, wired headphones are better anyway”. It’s not about that, it’s about removing your freedom to choose and it should NOT be tolerated

I’ve never owned an iPhone, but I 100% agree with you. The reason I choose android is because of the freedom to use my phone how i want (for the most part).

Apple is a walled garden, but their security is good, they’re not an advertising company in the same way google is and don’t have as much of an incentive to harvest and sell your data. If android is going to be a walled garden like iOS, I trust apple more than i do google and If in the future I can’t find a phone that has all the features i want anyway, then i may as well just get an iPhone.

when you buy a banana at the grocery store, show me the receipt that you paid for the shipping of said banana. When you buy a computer keyboard, show me the receipt for the ‘F’ key. When you buy a TV, show me the receipt for the capacitors.

This is not how receipts work.

macOS is absolutely not free, and your argument is exactly the same as those examples the previous user provided.

Onions are absolutely not optional and this is a hill I am willing to die on

I’ve never heard someone refer to New Caledonia as NC before
