From loyalty cards, to restaurant meal deals or simply parking your car – it is harder and harder to get by without signing up to a multitude of apps

      Not more options, you want your option to win.

        And? Apple and Google are too big and influential as they’re. Why go attacking the little guys?

        We want other options to be allowed to exist. This is “you just want everyone to be gay/trans/whatever” all over again.

          Oof you’re comparing government suppression of entire classes of people to linux’ failure to attract developers to the platform… How do you not realize you’re in a cult???

        You’re an idiot or you’re trolling, I honestly can’t tell.

          I’m never trolling about Linux. On Lemmy there are so many cultists that you can say the most innocuous things and it will be downvoted to oblivion or deleted for “trolling”. Maybe you don’t like calling it a cult but I get more downvoted for negative comments about Linux than other people do when they literally say Nazi things.

          And then you get people like this…I mean what kind of broken prejudiced brain do you have to have to think this comparison is ok?

            “You’re a cultist!” screamed the cultist, angry at people for using something other than what the cultist prefers.

            innocuous

            Calling people “cultists” doesn’t sound very “innocuous”.
