Men work there, they have families and lives. You want to force them to offer “my sideloading”. That’s absolutely entitled thinking. Let free men make free choices and stop this authoritarian crusade.

The men who work at Apple would be coerced. Of course we are all coerced by the law in matters of morality, I.e. the 10 commandments. But you’re wanting to put “my sideloading” at the level of theft or other such crimes. That’s unreasonable and entitled thinking.

I’ll let you have the last comment and won’t comment after this, but you’re equating a company not providing the feature set you want with bullying. Especially when they’re multiple alternatives with the feature you want, I think it just comes down to an entitlement mindset.

Of course it’s their God given right. It shouldn’t be their right to violate God’s law, but “my totes fav phone provider totes doesn’t have side loading” is just entitled, and an unjust use of coercion.

Take your freedom? Is someone now forcing you to buy an iPhone, like you want to force Apple to make a product?

No you’re not. No one forced you to buy a Mac.

Someone offering a product they’re free to make and you’re free to buy is not coercion. Forcing a man to make the product you want is.

So far

MacOS offers others because Apple wants to. They could lock it down, they’re free to. But they would lose customers. But they’re free and you’re free.

You bought that thing wide eyed as to its capabilities. Now you’re complaining and want to use coercion to get a feature. Yea it’s entitled and unnecessary. I can understand if Apple murdered someone and you want to punish them, use the law. But “I like their hardware and totes wish it had side loading” is immoral and egregious.

What entitlement. Microsoft makes an OS, they can design it how they want. You can buy it if you want.

Generally laws should protect negative rights, not enforce positive ones. I can’t think of a more entitled law than “my fav phone maker totes doesn’t have side loading”. What an egregious use of force.

Men own and work at the business, so a useless distinction.

Hah, I laughed at that one. Good one. Of course the needless regulation and coercion is forcing Apple to act.
