God never loved anyone unconditionally. My favorite Bible quote:

Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me. ...whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. — Matthew 25:41–43 (NIV)

He very explicitly hates selfish people. VERY specifically these people, spoken by Jesus, this group of people are damned to hell. Gays, never spoken of by Jesus, btw.

Yarrr

I'm gonna gift that man a really strong magnet

Consider the following

Saxophone - Persephone

I think the argument comes in that, this actually doesn't apply to those who don't have said system. Imagine instead it's a stamp that only applies differences if the recipient also subscribes to said stamp service. To everyone else, it's just a regular letter. I can easily go use a different service of the same type to achieve the same benefits.

And yeah, they do use their system to benefit their shareholders, which is what businesses do with their proprietary services.

Im not arguing for this by any means, just trying to play devils advocate as for why Apple would want to maintain control over it and why I think it's odd that the government wants to get involved. I feel like companies like amazon do more impractical shit to maintain control over the market, but bubble colors just aren't anywhere near the top of the list for things I think politicians need to spend time talking about.

I wouldn't be upset if they forced apples hand, though, others have pointed out that it would even the competive market for other manufacturers

My only guess is that they developed a proprietary system and as a business want to maintain control of their proprietary system as one of the selling points to their hardware ecosystem. It makes them money, and a business in a capitalist market, they want to keep their competitive edge.

Which, honestly, I get. Imagine you created something (and note, not invented) and someone decides you should be forced to share it simply because it sells better than what the other guys have.

My only argument against this is that there already are internet based end to end encryption messaging systems in place, both private and FOSS. It's not like Apple has a monopoly on this type of technology or system.

It's not so much me being upset at fake internet points than it is at me being upset that I've been seeing how this place has changed since I joined, and it's super easy for a place like this to become an echo chamber, especially when people are just asking questions. Genuine discussion is drowned out by people treating the vote system like Facebook likes

I wanted out of reddit long before the fiasco, and whenni got here it was way different than it's starting to become

I had asked the same question and was downvoted to -10 before I deleted it and reposted it. It's an issue I've been seeing in this community growing for a while now, so yeah I'm gonna bitch when this place starts turning into reddit.

Ah okay thank you

What's the point of asking questions when this community just downvotes? Why even have a forum if it's only use is to.upvote things that agree with your pre established opinions?

Why should our government care about this? I've been on android for over a decade now, I have 0 interest in this imessage bullshit and I don't understand why our government representatives care

What benefits are there to expanding this system? Why should they waste resources spending time on this?

Also this community would rather just downvote than actually have a discussion. Engage with me instead of downvoting me this time, stop downvoting things you disagree with, this isn't reddit. I'm contributing to the conversation and you have an opportunity to explain the reasons behind this

Edit: thank you to all the people who took the time to answer my question

No, I'm saying I have a windows install that I then used to download 4tb worth of files, my original goal was to mount a second drive to use as the file source, but I've had issues in the past trying to access files from a hard drive with a windows install on it

Can I utilize this system for jellyfin (the most experience I have with Linux is KDE Plasma in SteamOS)?

Can I remove windows and keep the files?

I need to get around to setting up the arr stack but I've been manually downloading torrents for over a decade now I just forget there are better solutions

Jellyfin streams all my shit at whatever resolution I went out of my way to download.

It's definitely a weird spot to discuss.

There was a guy who talked about how he was almost a school shooter and was stopped and he discussed his perspective on being a mentality ill teen with access to firearms. People were so fucking vile to that guy, loads of harassment and people say he deserves prison and telling him to kill himself.

So instead of trying to utilize this person, who wasn't a mass murder, and gain an inside look into what it's like for this kids, the world would rather just shit all over them, even when they shoot a grand total of 0 people.

I get for some it's a tough talk, but the fact that we aren't is a huge part of the problem to begin with.

To be fair, it's the articles themselves

The majority of linux articles have me checking the comments first to see if someone talks about ridiculous click bait crap, honestly saved me a lot of time.

Torrents are always waiting with open arms
