He should start charging the users to make up for the loss ;) (praying and hoping this damn site dies soon)

I would say Apple isn’t as severe as something like Meta or “X” but the amount of influence apple has over the industry is insane. There’s a reason why so many laptops are losing ports “because the MacBook has it” or why smartphones are stagnating and when they “innovate” they’re just removing more features like the SD card reader all simply because “Apple did it”. Hell, Windows has been trying to be like Mac OS for years from its flat minimal design to its oversimplification of its design to trying to make their own “eco system”. Apple’s influence can even extend beyond tech with their flat minimalist, corporate design being applied to every industry and building and design ever to be conceived in 2023. Everyone is trying to be Apple from Tech companies to fast food joints. Truly if we measure their influence and the power they carry moving entire industries to do various things. They are one of the most powerful company in silicon valley. Everything we hate about modern tech and how restrictive it is can be sourced all the way back to Apple.

I see this exact thread every week now and it’s between the same people:

“Oh ok i stopped using it” to “Naw i’ll keep using brave”

At this point can we stop this? Brave is trash but people are either too stubborn or just don’t care anymore (which is ironic). Either mods just pin this thread and treat this as a “brave is trash” megathread or I don’t know.

Wouldn’t it happen by now considering how much MSFT/corporate influence Linux already has?

Based weezer :)

Why are you even getting downvoted when someone else said the exact same thing?

I mean really if you don’t like your current DE, you can always just switch within your own distro. For example, you can switch from cinnamon to gnome for mint.

This is honestly reminding me of when Kanye had a school and had such a reprioritization of education that it was hilarious.
