yeah but they don’t have linux versions of any of their software. an increasing number of people are ditching windows because of microsoft’s intensifying enshittification and hackintoshes are dying because of the mac transition to apple silicon
@paraphrand@clf@apple_enthusiast my only real problem with iOS/macOS is that iWork isn’t ODF compatible which makes it useless for me as I collaborate.
Apple Music is on Android and Windows.
Apple TV is one a wide range of devices.
AirPlay is on a wide range of TVs, and Roku boxes.
iCloud is on Windows. Files, photos, contacts, etc. They just added Passwords.
So out of luck isn’t exactly true. Unless you are a die hard Pages user or something. And there you have a web app.

Apple Maps also is available via browser for a few weeks now.
Apple Music on Windows sucked hard until a year ago or so.
Apple TV/AirPlay is only on select devices.
iCloud on Windows sucks cock.
Compared to that “lineup,” Google services work outright flawless.
When’s the last time you tried iCloud for Windows?
There was a time where the app was clunky and awful, but the last few times I’ve had to interact with it it came pretty damn close to seamless.
Fair criticisms. I personally avoid installing iCloud on Windows because I’m scared of it causing some sort of sync issue.
But the assertion was there was nothing.
Also, Chromecast was only on select devices. Google Playstore is only on select devices.
@paraphrand @that_leaflet @apple_enthusiast you can use Apple Music in the browser just so you know.
Same with many (most) iCloud things.

It’s strange that this far on, that wouldn’t have been added yet. Even in a usable, but not nice to use way.
@paraphrand totally agree. I don’t understand the thinking behind “walled garden” software.
