If you didn’t write like an unhinged lunatic, one might take your opinion seriously instead of finding it laughably over-the-top and instantly dismissing it as the ravings of a madman.
> At least [I] have an ethos
One I can wear proudly.
It seems like there's some pretty clear & obvious truths to how Apple anti-competitively restrains the web. My words might sound wild to many. But I think it's less clear how many pro-Safari anti-choice advocates sound, how warped & weird that reality is. What even is the ethos?
I cite the idea of the the war-on-general-purpose-computing[2]. This is one of the darkest, most anti-personal worst fates computing could suffer: to have humanity stripped of agency, to leave us only with appliances, fixed functions. Apple's "balance", their "security" feels like a certain relinquishing of exploration, of possibility, of liberty, an enforcement of only their way of doing this. Apple's logos seems in severe clash with humankind's ethos.
You can dial it back and your readers may take you seriously.
Or you can continue to hyperbolically rant and rave, and continue to be dismissed.
To be perfectly frank, I’m quite amused by your unhinged ranting, so if anything, I think you should continue to perform the clown act.
But in the end, it’s no skin off my back either way.
It’s up to you to decide whether you want to be effective.
Thanks for the encouraging words.
What about "anti competitively restrains the web by preventing any other browsers from running"?
Like, holy shit- do we remember what Microsoft got in trouble for?[1][2] For making IE the default browser? For including a browser at all? Windows had like >90% market share on desktops, iOS doesn't have >30%, but if 30% of the computers run Apple-Web- and can't run the real web at all, that's about as blatantly anti-competitive, is as crude & crippling a blow as could be imagined. Other browsers had been possible vs IE- Apple won't even allow the possibility.
