I don't think ChatGPT took it personally. It probably didn't get upset. And you don't need to protect it.

> and you're kinda restricted to AMD GPUs.

No idea where that came from but it's not the case.

> just non-existent

You have just been lucky. Nothing more.

A classic case of it doesn't happen on _my computer_ so it must be a lie.

You forgot the disaster that is Snap.

> People interested in desktop OS are either using MacOS or windows 11.

This feels very much like its written by somebody who hasn't used Linux as a desktop OS and is an unneeded back-handed comment that does the rest of your otherwise reasonable comment, a dis-service.

In my 30± year career I can confidently say that Software Engineers look towards standardisation by default as it makes their lives easier.

It feels to me that you're bitter or had more than one bad experience. Perhaps you keep working with, or come across, bad Engineers as your generalising is inaccurate.

My recent purchase of Samsung S23 Ultra at almost £800 is full of Samsung crud and spying that I can't remove.

Cost is no guide on a crud-free experience.

> Who do you think is going to be hurt?

By doing nothing? The consumer.

Voicing your disagreement with a company (whatever the reason) is necessary to get things to change.

Perhaps doing so will stop future decisions that hurt consumers and by consequence the developers, publishers etc.

I don't think it's too much to say they brought this on themselves by their actions and the backlash will cause them to think twice about doing the same in future.

Judging by the number of bad reviews, there are many more who don't.

This article flip flops confusing "England" and the "UK".

England is not the UK. This article discusses England and its privatisation of water services. The author should pay better attention to these specifics.

> A "senior" developer with less than 10 years of experience, an empty GitHub repo, and a fake degree should be more humble.

This says more about you than it does about them.

The author is offering an opinion. You can disagree without resorting to this. You need to be better than that.

There is no privacy to be gained from buying Samsung products. They're just as bad as every other data harvesting company.

I think the sarcasm was lost there. You need to use /s to remind people :)

> the Asians who got out of poverty way later it is heaven finally on Earth so they just cheer more and more of it.

There are so many things wrong with this statement Im not sure where to start.

This is a blinkered and naive view of the rest of the world.
