I am genuinely sick to death of people taking up arms in some sort of faction war against their supposed "opponent" technology.

I see it everywhere. PlayStation or Xbox! PCMR or Console! MacOS or Windows! iOS or Android! Disturbing tribalism.

Liking Apple does not make you cool, not liking Apple does not make you cool. Apple produces hardware and software, it is not a religion. I see so many people taking up arms against Apple as if it's some kind of religious crusade or imperative for the betterment of mankind, while at the same time rallying behind Microsoft (of all companies).

I'm guilty of a bit of elitism too, I can't stand Windows and it hurts me to see people using it when I know better things exist (or, better for me at least, I'm one of those pesky linux users) but at the same time: It's a fucking tool, you don't see tradesmen getting all pissy about people buying DeWalt power drills.

For the love of all that is good: stop giving a fuck unless it affects you directly.
