how can something be so courageous and yet so true

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee beans and make my own coffee" are completely missing the fucking point.
Don't tell yourself your consumption is moral. All of us make unethical choices every day because there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Accept your shame and guilt and let it drive you to do better.
Nope sorry, there are many much less capitalistically aggressive alternatives to starbucks and apple. Slaves on the other hand literally (and not figuratively as in here) needed to keep slaving to stay alive. I would seriously feel cramps in my stomach if I walked into a starbucks with that sticker.
Apple is a dumb choice always, but theres no fucking replacement for starbucks and you cannot convince me otherwise.
Please tell me how I can build ios apps, test multiple browsers (including safari), and test on any iPhone without mac? I don't want to use a mac but it's not "always a dumb choice". Sometimes (by design) there is no choice.
Here is an idea for you, don't build iOS Apps. If iOS users want to use regular apps or browsers then they'll have to jailbreak their devices or stop using devices that intentionally limit them. Enabling their poor decisions doesn't help them.
As a bonus it removes your apple developer fees as well as cuts your development costs by maybe half or even more.
The vast majority of devs doing it for a career don't get to choose what kind of apps they build.
I assure you everybody has a choice with every action they take, but purely for the sake of argument if you didn't choose then your superiors did and in that case I'm criticizing your superiors stupid decisions, savvy?
It is so damn stupid if you're developing a product and limiting yourself to a specific group because of some stupid moral that not everyone shares. Makes 0 sense in business context but sure go for it.
Lmao, the only limiting factor in this equation is Apple.
You're deluded
