“The same claims”

[–] Quicky@piefed.social 0 points 3 months ago (16 children)

As well as the degoogled Android goalpost, I know.

It’s all choice at the end of the day, isn’t it. I choose Apple for a variety of reasons, and they’ve championed privacy regularly in recent years. Whether we choose to believe the claims, well that’s up to the consumer isn’t it. One thing’s for sure, Google definitely don’t make the same claims.

Well yes, in hindsight I should have tailored the post that’s already in an Apple-specific community, asking about upgrades following the previous day’s iPhone launch, and which references Apple in the body of the post, for those people who were unable to infer the question’s intent.

Okay mate 😂

Not once have I questioned the viability of a degoogled android device.

This is literally an apple enthusiast community. I'm not sure what you're expecting, or are you just here to troll with the last statement?

Fair enough, but the implication of what I’m asking is right there, and the community I’m asking it in should reinforce that.

But I think the example is accurate, because “smartphone” is analogous to “sport” in this context, for which I deliberately chose an obscure alternative.

To change the goalposts yeah? I make a flippant comment about one approach to data harvesting being more exhaustive than another and you eventually say “yeah but not degoogled Android”? Nobody was talking about that. As I say, each to their own, I’m sure degoogled Android is great for the comparatively few that use it, but the initial post I replied to just specified Android. Of the two companies - Google and Apple - I know which one I’m more likely to trust with my data.

It’s my question! And clearly I’m interested in what model of iPhone people are upgrading to, not what obscure device and niche OS are you moving to as a result of global politics.

If I asked “Who should I bet on to win the next FIFA World Cup?” I wouldn’t want an answer similar to “I don’t follow football anymore because FIFA are a corrupt organisation, and I’m looking forward to the World Slackline Yoga Championships.”

Great, doesn’t help me at all, and why mention it in a football thread, in a football forum.

Probably for the best because “You literally asked” has a very specific meaning, which was entirely incorrect here.

Nice edit. Nah, I didn't ask anything mate

So in an apple enthusiast community, you're pitching degoogled android?

[–] Quicky@piefed.social 1 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I hope so. I've been holding off just getting another 4K for the TV that doesn't have one for so long now, under the assumption that a new one would be announced, but each event has let me down. To be honest, the current 4K is already excellent but I'd be gutted if I bought one and then a new model comes out the following week.
