I mean, in fairness, if I read a headline that was like “in silent apple update, MacBooks with Asahi Linux installed will self destruct the lithium ion battery once it detects the user is asleep and unable to stop the explosion” I’d have been like “yeah. That tracks. Sucks that their hardware is so fucking good.”
But it’s not a silent Apple update. It’s literally a beta release for beta users and you have to click update to update!
For fucks sake. If a headline said “Mr Roger’s ran someone over with his car and didn’t tell anyone about it” would you believe it or be slightly incredulous? This user didn’t even post the actual headline, which mentioned it was a beta. Does no one have critical thinking skills anymore?
It’s like believing Microsoft purposefully puts in idiotic bugs and security vulnerabilities into their OS multiple times a month. They’re not doing it on purpose, they’re just completely incompetent.
Alright
I’m not buying into Apple stuff because of the things Apple does
So seemingly locking other people out of using their hardware just seemed in line
But ok, I’ll retract my comment
Edit: I corrected my comment with the stuff, that was wrong

“if I read a headline” that’s how I started my comment. “If I read A headline”
I did not say anything about this one. I just expressed empathy at the users misunderstanding of the original post.
