  • Of course he did bad things, he’s human, every great person has said, you learn and grow from your failures.

    Apple’s iOS was far more polished than Android in the beginning. Hell, Apple’s iTunes Store paired with its iPods revolutionized the cell phone with the iPhone.

    The lock-in has both pros and cons. Do i think it’s hard to move off of Apple once you’re in it? No not really, again they don’t own a monopoly in anything. They just provide a very polished experience in what they do aka “it just works.”

    The only thing you can’t really transfer is one-time Apple App Store purchases.

    Is it easy to switch from Gmail? Yes, creating a new email is easy, do you get the same benefits leaving the market leader? Most likely not…


  • Why is everyone so aggressive about history and facts? Please take your blind rage back to Reddit. This thread is about Steve Jobs, acting like he did not lead Apple to numerous successes is a bold face lie. You might not agree with his methods but that doesn’t mean he accomplished nothing.

    Your example proves my point, the alternative, Google, is just as if not more evil than Apple… just because they allow third party stores and less lock-in does not mean their product is better. Each person can choose the product that suits their needs.



  • Your take feels incredibly aggressive. Most people do not want to tinker, they just want their tech to work… Regarding Steve Jobs, are you saying he did not steer Apple to a level of success and prosperity that 99% other companies dream of?

    Your opinion of what is overpriced is just your opinion. Apples sales numbers says otherwise, they do not have a monopoly in any market they compete in.




  • I’m not strawmanning anything. My initial message was the article is garbage, we don’t need to get rid of golf courses to have utility grade solar farms. Wind solar and golf courses can all coexist. Solar can be put on the roofs of the buildings they help power. Regardless attacking golf because rich people play golf is such a horrible position. Rich people play soccer and every other damn sport known to mankind. The even funnier point is if you’re in the US you are well are of the massive amount of land that is unused and available for your power company’s renewable energy endeavors. I can tell you right now, available land is not the issue. Clown.






  • Again I’m a full supporter of renewable energy, I just believe we are unfairly targeting golf when no one in their right mind wants a solar farm in the middle of their city.

    I think you and I are for the same solutions, taking anger out on golf courses because they take up a lot of space is a bad argument when it comes to replacing them with utility grade power source. No one wants utility grade power sources where their community golf courses are. I’d argue I want more green space(not more golf courses) in my community. Each community is different and has different needs but getting rid of existing green spaces would be a last resort for me when it comes to replacing it with a utility grade power plant.



  • I didn’t say you can’t get rid of golf courses but suggesting we should replace them with utility grade power is idiotic… we are on an energy topic here, not are there better uses for golf course spaces? I am also not saying there are golf courses that were built in bad places… You’re making up arguments/conflicts that I didn’t propose.

    I merely said all 3 can coexist and the logic to attack someone else’s past time can easily be done. My community just voted for more soccer fields when I drive by the existing fields they are barely used outside of a couple hours for practice, occasional adult night leagues and weekends.

    The other hilarious part, golf courses were shutting down and being sold all over the world until the pandemic. The pandemic unleashed an explosion of new golfers because it’s a sport that can be played safely with social distancing.

    But ah yes let’s get rid of the golf courses, hockey rinks, soccer fields, tracks, football fields, rugby fields. We can build massive apartment buildings and solar farms instead. For some reason joy and sports that you find acceptable are the only ones humans can participate in because of your math equation! Lovely.


  • I’m fantastic, I am avid player of soccer and golf and do not want a power utility in the middle of my city when it can easily exist outside the city and we can retain green spaces for people to enjoy. This post is on an energy page. The easy solution is for governments to subsidize all homes and buildings their own solar power and battery storage allow unused power to be sold back to the grid. You won’t see this happen because it would decimate the power industry which obviously has a massive lobby. Yet you believe we should sell our green spaces to utility companies? Idiotic. Meanwhile capitalists are funding things like crypto coin which uses insane amounts of power to create an unneeded digital commodity.

    I’ll reiterate, this article is garbage on so many levels but it clearly has an incredibly gullible audience who can’t get out of their own way with a little bit of thinking.
