Yes. A lot of Linux folks hate Apple because they are every bit slimey as Windows but hide behind a veneer of respectability due to higher-end nature of the market they target. So a bunch of yuppies shill for them.
I have an American cousin who refuses to contact me on either WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram (I gave him three fucking' options) because "I only trust Apple with my contacts list "
Ok, well I'm not spending a euro-per SMS, so we won't casually chat from time to time. Goodbye.
I might be a bit jaded.
Bunch of people I know (as an American) use Signal and Telegram along with iMessage. Your cousin sounds like a pretentious dickhead
Bingo! He's a New-York-based cinematographer. You hit the nail on the head. 😂
Haha, the duality of the NYer. I’m also a NYer but upstate.
