Apple Mice have had right click for 14 years, and their trackpads have used two finger click in its place far longer than that. And before that, any two button mouse worked just fine in OS X from 2001 on (earlier if you ran the beta of OS X). So your information is anywhere from two decades to one and a half decades out of date. Well done.

Someone's mad.

So what you're saying is they put the cart before the horse and eventually succumbed to the market pressure of their mistakes.

Got it.

Oh look, they did it again.

What's really sad is that you're out here promoting a trillion dollar company for free. Well done.

Someone’s mad.

Hello projection my old friend…

No, just responding to their cheeky "well done" comment.

Just because you say someone is projecting doesn't make it true.

I like how you Apple stans keep proving my point about the brand's borderline toxic ethos.

Acting like someone is a corporate shill just because they don’t agree with you reeks of butthurt

Out here calling people names but anyone that doesn’t agree with you are the toxic ones, lol

butthurt? About... what?

Dude... go outside.

You seem to be upset that this isn’t an echo chamber. And yes, I’ll be sure to touch some grass as soon as I clock out.

Now who's projecting?

I am in no way upset, my guy. It's clear you are, though.

Cheers.

I’m not upset by your views of Apple at all. I don’t have an emotional connection to them any more than I do the company that made my forks. Doesn’t change the fact that your criticism is so old it can go buy a six pack.

Is there a reason you're still talking, beyond that lack of emotional connection?

Please, don't answer 🙏

I mean, couldn’t I say the same to you? Sometimes petty internet slapfights can be mildly entertaining. Certainly beats actually doing my job. I’m sure we can both agree on that

This is like being on Reddit.

Yeah I’d agree with that assessment. Only one more hour til I can touch grass, I can’t wait. I’m not even kidding, it’s a beautiful day outside
