From my experience with people that are very pro Android vs the pro iOS crowd, it’s just that they’re trying to justify their own choice by uplifting the OS they chose and sometimes tend to focus only on the negatives of the other OS. The same can be said for the various desktop OS crowds.

I’ve used both Android and iOS, as well as Windows and MacOS (and intend to try Linux at some point) over the years and I never thought one was generally better than the other. All these OSs have different target users and that’s ok. Just because you’re not the target user for OS A, doesn’t mean that OS B is objectively the best OS for everyone. It’s just the best OS for you. And why people feel the need to bash other people’s choices or even make fun of them for it is beyond me.

That one's very sweet. I've also seen a few heartbreaking ones and I kinda wish I could send the people that wrote those a hug honestly

Yeah, no kidding :’) Guess we have to wait for spez to sprinkle golden wrappers across the platform to find users to pick the new CEO from

You’re not wrong. I work for a company that really tries to make new employees feel like they’re part of a “family”. The longer you work there, the more you become immune to their bullshit though. Mostly because the low-level employees get treated worse than those working at headquarters. Luckily it’s only a parttime job and I’ll be leaving as soon as I’m done with my masters.

That explains, but yeah, still off-putting :')

A little off-topic, but who calls their employees 'snoos'? Am I missing some context here?

The OS wars have always bugged me a little. On one hand you have iOS users acting all high and mighty and considering anything other than iPhone less, on the other there’s some snobby Android users that seem to think everyone that uses an iPhone is an idiot. Guess we can’t help but engage in us-vs-them thinking sometimes. Excluding people based on the tech they use makes absolutely zero sense to me though.

I’ve used both iOS/MacOS and Android/Windows over the years and I can’t really say that one is inherently better than the other. Each platform excels in a different use case however and has different USPs.

Anywho, just my two cents. Cheers!

Yep, this is also a common feature for phones for seniors.

Yeah, this is a bit of an overcorrection, but if it increases interest in smaller phones, I'm all for it. Really not looking forward to the moment I have to replace my 12 mini
