Nvidia and all these other morons are fucking around with the global economy, and you’re mad at Apple for… …reacting to it?

Hope you feel better soon. They’re really fucking you up it sounds like.

Exactly. This “fill out our survey” is not science

because of AI

These are teachers responding based on feelings - so the value of this FEELINGS BASED SURVEY is exactly zero.

Whatever drives the clicks though, right? Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story

You completely missed the point of the previous comment.

No one exonerated Apple; they just pointed out that there are “no good guys here”

Then you missed the fact that Google is locking down other app stores, but you’re still yelling at Apple for being Apple? Get it together man

I’m not claiming all Apple users are Apple groupies.

Oh ok cool so you’re just delusional from comment to comment?

Get help, hate ages you real fast. You’re way too upset over this

Career haters just love to shit on anyone who has a preference, and thinks they can boil down an entire group of population with a single pithy comment

You sound like a career hater. We did this ad nauseum in 2007, grow up it’s embarrassing for you

Hey you know what I could use to buy compute or literally anything else

I’m sorry and I hate it

“Finish” as in beat or best, not as in complete a development work to be shipped

I guess I’m not sure how hallucinating and reading from source code are overlapping. Do you think these models are just barfing back garbage nonsense?

What is?

Hallucinated? From researched and documented code spelunking?

It’s going to be hilarious when these get hacked

I think you mean Kape or whatever advertiser bought them

Please do as you wish, I’m just happy others are getting the message. Have a great day

Yea sorry but I think this misses the point entirely. No one is arguing etymology, nor does the word carry a negative connotation inherently

The issue is that using the term sideloading makes it seem like you’re doing something other than “installing software,” which is truly without editorialization what is happening. Referring to it as “sideloading” is seen widely as editorialization.

So fighting against this new understanding of the term is either pedantry for the sake of it, or you have some sort of stake in Google perhaps? Either way the worst case scenario is people use a word you don’t agree with - but the upside is someone might realize they’re being lied to when told they don’t own their hardware and the decisions associated

I don’t think they invented the word

It’s naive to think Google doesn’t have a reason behind the popularization of a term that indicates to the user they’re not the one in ultimate control of their own personal device

Keep getting upset over it though if that makes you happy

I do not agree with your reasoning, tempting as it may be to believe that Google is neutral

Can I ask you why Google has deliberately chosen to ALWAYS use the term sideloading? Doesn’t that seem weird for an internet company - who should know better - to not just say “install?”

How do you think this came to be?

Sideloading isn’t a real term - there is only loading a better OS than whatever spy-tech google is offering.

You can’t “sideload” hardware you own - you just install whatever software you like and prefer
