So today I watched a YouTube video about iMessage lock in, and it was an unfair reminder of the Apple bullshit I experience as an Android user.

Just like… the experience of being added to an iMessage group chat as an Android user is enough to make someone want to switch to an iPhone, and I don’t know how that nonsense isn’t breaking monopoly laws.

This is a the iMessage experience on Android, in a nutshell (100% speaking from personal experience).

Eloquence is about using the right word, not the fanciest word, and people who are obviously trying to sound smart tend to fail at this because they forget that using jargon incorrectly doesn’t actually hide the fact that they don’t know what they’re talking about.

Trying to cover up not knowing your shit is really just intentionally alienating and intimidating anyone who has no idea what you’re talking about and throwing away any credibility you might have had in front of someone who does.
