    Yeah, I’m an old software engineer who uses linux on all of my actual computers, but I still have an old iphone for doing phone shit.

    In the real world, most outspoken anti-apple people aren’t super techy and use some nightmare of corporate bloat phone they bought at the Verizon store.

    Here on Lemmy though, you have a WAY higher proportion of people who are running devices they actually control.

      I still believe the majority here don’t know shit and repeat stuff like the video from The Hated One, which only apply if you run a custom Android ROM, and even then, it’s based on their opinion only and no metrics or real data to back it up

        I mean, that’s how most people seem to be about most things.

        But when you put them in a context that makes people get tribal like choice of phone, game console, political party, or religion, it goes into turbo-dumb.
