   26 years of my life saying that Apple devices are for losers who can’t code blah blah blah
   
   I come to Japan, everybody has an iPhone, Im the only person with an Android in the train, I feel like a loser. I buy an iPhone, I like it, I buy a MacBook, I like it, I sell my android, windows, Linux devices.
   
   I am a fraud.

     @asa I got an Apple phone for the camera. I hated it for the first couple months and considered selling it. Now it feels natural. Anyway, I recently tried Android again and it is so bad compared to IOS.

     @sun Im never going back to Android, first of all, everything in Japan is meant to work with iPhone so using Android is very inconvenient, but also Apple services are just good enough and convenient. like iCloud email, drive, IP protection, Hide my Email, the passwords app, Safari is alright, Xcode and Swift are kinda cool in my opinion, calendar, photos, contacts, everything just werks. And there is some minor problems like emulators being banned from the AppStore or file transfer to a windows PC not being straightforward, but there is easy workarounds for all of those things.
     
     Also Apple devices aren’t that expensive really, you can buy a second hand iPhone and MacBook that run the latest version of the OS for pretty cheap.
     
     And also I believe Apple is pretty good in terms of protecting the users privacy. End to end encryption is also possible on iCloud.

     @sun Yes I am from Europe but moved to Japan 2 years ago, I don’t work in IT since I moved here but my goal is to work in IT here in the future, I used to work in IT in Europe.
     
     I’m just learning Swift for iOS app development in my free time because I want to work with it in the future.
     
     Basically I always wanted like a definitive language or stack that I could just focus on and forget about everything else, and I think Apple offers that. Other things like Webdev are a chaos that is constantly evolving.
     
     No analysis paralysis with Apple development.
     
     One language, one framework for each thing, one IDE, and a limited number of predictable devices that will run the code. Isn’t that a dream?

     @Zergling_man @asa looks like they share things like access metadata they're legally obligated to provide.

     links to https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/pdf/requests-2019-H1-en.pdf which surprise, no longer accessible
     Apple have never been privacy advocates, they have always been good at pretending to be privacy advocates

     @asa @sun 1) You're on SPW, not on Approved Social Network™ (does not yet include The Mastodon Network™). Therefore you're a thought criminal.
     2) Apple will sell you out whenever it conveniences them.

     @sun @asa No joke if Apple release a new iPhone Mini with USB-C and more of the same camera, I'm buying my first iPhone. I bought a miniature android (roughly S2-sized) to stave off the urges but I miss having a good camera in my pocket all the time.

     @birdulon @sun basically since I entered the country for the first time I have been doing many different manual labor jobs and just one white collar job testing video games, I change jobs every 2 or 3 months.
     
     First tested Diablo 4, then cleaned buildings, then cleaned rooms in a hotel, then worked in a cake restaurant kitchen, then did moving work with trucks, then worked in a tomato farm, then was a stable boy taking care of horses, etc.
     
     Good thing about this country is there is a shortage of workers and there is still a in the job training culture so it’s easy to get jobs with no experience and with low Japanese speaking skill.

     What are you doing now if you don't mind me asking? Working in a different field/studying/some other long-term stay visa?

     @Suiseiseki that’s what I thought, but a big part of coming to Japan was about shaking my beliefs and challenging myself to consider I might be wrong, and I was wrong, despite the bad parts, Apple devices are awesome.

     You've challenged yourself into becoming wrong when you were right.
     
     >Apple devices are awesome.
     They're shit.
     
     iphones don't even function properly as a phone and macbooks by default don't function properly as a computer and interestingly the button that is meant to to make them become a computer often doesn't work.

     @sun If you just work on GNU, you don't need to deal with most portability problems, as GNU is very cross platform due to fine GNU libraries like gnulib.
