And when we call out the naysayers for the dolts they are we are told we are faboys who contribute nothing to the discussion, meaning they will only accept criticism and trashing of the company as valid intercourse.
Yeah, me too. I was really confused. Female pronouns, male presentation. I started thinking, "is she someone who transitioned from male to female? Female to male but uses female pronouns? Non-binary?" My head started to hurt and I lost interest.
I remember years ago DED made a similar flub. A poster was ENRAGED and posted a mock article with a donkey picture on it. The mock articles headline was about DED and had a donkey pic with the words reading "This is a photo of a donkey". lol
She was one of those regular voices, popping up at the start and end of the calls. Always there. One of the constants. It will be strange listening to a call without her.
Historically I'm a fan of Apple products but not the company. I've never used a Windows PC as my personal daily driver.
I've had run ins with Apple executives because certain decisions were affecting my work and that of people that contracted me. In the end I had to stop recommending Macs professionally.
It wasn't the fault of those executives but the executives in Cupertino.
Years later, some of the biggest issues got resolved. I argued for Apple Retail Stores long before Apple took the idea seriously. In those days, Apple was a U.S company with a U.S mindset and completely unable to grasp the issues affecting non-English speaking countries even though those countries had local Apple offices.
I was just as critical of Apple in 1998 as 2018. Not a lot has changed there. I give my opinion and back it up. I give credit where credit is due. I speak in favour of Apple if I think criticism is unwarranted.
