      Not only is the new phone in this case only slightly different, but the user has no control over the device. The OS comes with spyware and you can’t officially run apps that are not Apple CertifiedTM. Not to mention you have to buy way too expensive dongles for basically everything and if it ever breaks then good luck.

          Having been the owner of an iPhone I can tell you it was true. Phone just kept getting slower and unresponsive every time I updated. But I think they changed that as I have friends with old iPhones and not only do they get the latest updates still, they also seem to work fine.

          Oh well, I’ve had my huawei for the same amount of time as my iPhone now and it’s still as responsive and strong as the first day.

              Hahaha I heard xiaomi phones are about just as good and even cheaper. Huawei is now going with the ecosystem route and I’m worried sometimes that I already got sucked in. Especially my tablet does not connect with my windows pc, you’d need their own laptop brand to seamlessly connect.

              I got mine pre sanction but all they did was remove Google mobile ervices, thus you get the huawei store which is… Not as furnished. Like ngl I like not depending on Google but every dev uses them so some apps just don’t work bc they’re not on huawei mobile services

              Edit: but get apkpure and mobilism and you can do most everything you used to. Just gonna have to find workarounds once in a while.

    To be fair, it’s the ancap ball and we all know ancaps aren’t anarchists.

      I mean, if you have anarchy in the current Western political climate, capitalism’s gonna reign supreme as companies literally turn into mafias and start offing their opponents.

        No shit, a Marxist revolution wouldn’t do any better.

      Lol they’re just libertarians with a superiority complex. They like to think that they’re so smart and enlightened but deep down they want to repress others through exploitation, probably because they know deep down that without an entire superstructure based on inequality, they won’t be better than the average person, they’ll be shudders Equal, God forbid

        “What if instead of the ‘middle-class’ taxpayer funding the army that protects capital, the billionaires paid for their own private armies?” - ancaps worried about regulations or something

          Are you trying to restrict my personal liberty to join the Musk Platoon? How much freedom do I really have of the only army I can join is in the hands of that authoritarian government? At that point we might as well be living under communism!

    Communism is when no line. I mean it, seriously, the concept is deleted from the society. Want to wait in a line? Can’t, because everything is already given to you. Want to snort a line of coke? Can’t cus there are no drug problems. Want to have your neighbour in your line of sights? Can’t, because there is no more killing each other. Want to walk in a straight line? Can’t because the communist Earth is round and the communist Universe is curved.

      no, i think its because this was probably done by the same racist fuck from the ‘‘Libertarian guys with asian wives’’ account.

      it reeks of scumbag.

        I was thinking the same thing, probably a weirdo with an asian fetish and wanted to do a play on words with the asian food “Pho”, which is pronounced as “Fuh”
