The lawsuit seeks to upend a major part of Apple’s business.

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

    They’re saying that you’re out of your depth because your argument does not align with reality, i.e., you have no idea what you are talking about. If they said “You have brown hair” or “You like listening to Swift” and invalidate your argument because of that, it would have been ad hominem.

    In this case, they just looked at what you said and noticed that you should learn more about it instead of acting knowledgeable.

      See, you’re describing how they said a personal insult, then you’re describing how they could have, instead, simply described what I said factually, without using an insult, and then you’re calling these two very different things the same while treating me like an idiot, expecting me to not notice the difference. Which is also insulting.

      It doesn’t matter how many times people try to explain that a very obvious personal insult isn’t one because it very clearly is. and repeating the insult only digs you deeper into that hole, as does repeatedly attempting to gaslight me.

        Your ego being hurt does not constitute an insult. They even explained why you are wrong in detail, but you completely disregarded it and started whining.

          My ego has nothing to with the other user using an ad hominem attack rather than attacking my argument with evidence. Nor you doing the same. It’s rather typical of narcissist to blame others for the things they themselves are doing. That seems rather contagious around here as of late.

          And you projecting your issues onto me rather than accepting you are wrong is again projection.

          And if I were the conspiratorial sort, I might think that employing the same, tired, narcissistic argument is strangely familiar of dev_null, but surely you have more self-control than to engage in the same hypocrisy that he accused me of by using multiple accounts from different instances to brigade this thread. Right? Lol that would be just too obvious and pathetic. Right?

          I couldn’t possibly have upset you that much could I? Lol.
