    To be fair, the hardware is excellent. Overpriced as hell, especially considering that you can’t upgrade it yourself and the prices Apple charges for RAM and storage are ridiculous, but you can’t really argue with the quality. The locked-down, inflexible software and basically forcing you buy into the whole ecosystem if you want your devices to work together is the issue.










  • So the protestors are tortured until they confess to bogus terrorism charges? Locked up under horrible conditions in labour camps in Alaska for years and decades? Do you risk imprisonment for merely saying to someone you thought you could trust (like, say, your children) that they should be allowed to protest? Because then, yeah, that kind of brutal oppression.

    Of course there were some things generally done better in the USSR, thing is, you don’t need a fucking socialist dictatorship for universal healthcare, social security or public education. Many, many capitalist countries offer all of them.


  • Norway is not and never was socialist.

    Edit: on reflection we are squabbling over definitions here. Seems rather pointless, and I didn’t mean to be as … aggressive as I probably came across. I’ve just seen more than my share of people on Lemmy genuinely advocating for USSR style systems, so I probably overreacted a bit.


  • Not pictured: systemic and brutal oppression of any hint of even unorganised opposition.

    You Americans really need to take a look at the socialist countries you’re extolling, life in them was genuinely terrifying. Keep your nose down, saying anything remotely critical in front of the wrong person could completely ruin your life, and the lives of your friends and family as well.
