Shame on me!

I foolishly engaged with it and it did what it always does, so back to ignoring it.

What is revealing is Alan Browne uses his kindergarten skills to claim a
person is an "it" which proves everything I say about the iKooks like Alan Browne owning the comprehensive skills & IQ of a small uneducated child.

nospam ==> constantly claims Samsung made Apple do all the bad things
Jolly Roger ==> viciously attacks anyone who says the truth about Apple
Alan Browne ==> is so ignorant he has never heard of the walled garden

If just those 3 uneducated ignorant iKooks left this newsgroup, it would be normal (like the Android and Windows operating system newsgroups are).

Android users dislike SMS messages.

WTF? Android users dislike SMS? Since when?

I've been on the Android newsgroup for years and NOBODY says they dislike
SMS messages, Jolly Roger... Nobody.

Methinks you're ignorant if that's all you have to respond to facts.

Since you're ignorant

Actually, it is Android users who bitch and moan about iMessage who are
the true ignoramuses.

You have a short memory because we proved, long ago, it's only the Apple
users who are forced to use a single default messenger app who complain.

Apparently they don't know about your vaunted PulseSMS...

Notice how iKooks are not only completely ignorant that the Android
messengers do everything that the iMessage app does - but - in response to
that fact (which they hate!) iKooks respond with stunted childish insults.

Don't care.

*Facts about Apple _scare_ you to death, don't they Jolly Roger*

Tell us, Jolly Roger, what iMessages does that PulseSMS doesn't do.

Go cry to someone who does.

1. Jolly Roger ===> Responds to all facts about Apple with insults
2. nospam ===> Deflects all facts about Apple to whataboutism tactics
3. Alan Browne ===> Completely ignorant of even the walled garden

Remove the iKooks from the Apple newsgroups and this ng would elevate
instantly to the communicative discourse of _adult OS newsgroups_.

Little Arlen *desperately* wants to pretend he doesn't now the context
of the above statement is Android users participating in chats with
iMessage users. Luckily adults understand context even when little Arlen pretends it doesn't exist. And the fact is Android users have complained
about being limited to plain SMS communications when conversing with
iMessage users for many years. Here's an example of one such person from
way back in 2015:

Anyone know how to get iMessage on Android?

Before you hate, the reason im asking is because lots of my friends are
in group chats in iMessage, and you cant add an SMS contact into a group
chat. So if there;s a way, and you know it, feel free to reply to the
thread. Thanks
---

Android users have even gone so far as to use apps with servers in China
to avoid using SMS when conversing with iMessage users. Here's an
article from 2013 warning Andoird users of the security and privacy implications of using such an app:

iMessage for Android looks like a great way to compromise your security <https://www.theverge.com/2013/9/24/4765240/imessage-chat-for-android-spoof-app>

Methinks you're ignorant if that's all you have to respond to facts.

Projection from a brain-dead Apple-hating troll. To wit, little Arlen
actually believes Apple users can't use other popular messaging apps:

it's only the Apple users who are forced to use a single default
messenger app

LOL! Arlen is a true

You notice they don't elucidate what those "same privacy protections"

In both cases, you're signing into the mothership to get the functionality.

More whataboutism today from the Apple people desperate to blame everyone
but Apple for the fact that iOS has two to three times the zero-day holes!

Dorper <usenet@dorper.me> wrote

Hint: No smartphone OS is anywhere nearly as insecure as iOS is.
(hackers don't even need to be within a thousand miles of your phone to
completely and fully take it over any time they want to - for years!)

In other news, Android has released it's latest security update:

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/android-october-security- update-fixes-zero-days-exploited-in-attacks/
Including fixes for "54 unique vulnerabilities, including two known to be actively exploited." Of the 54 fixes concerning Android 11 through 13, five are rated critical, and two concern remote code execution problems.

It's classic for Apple users to blame everyone but Apple for the flaws in
Apple devices. It's called "whataboutism" & only Apple users do it.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism>

I know exactly why you used whataboutism to defend against Apple's flaw.
I wonder if you do?

Probably not.
Let's just say that only Apple people do what you just did, Dorper.

Adults don't do it. Specifically...

You'll _never_ see someone on Android doing what you just did, Dorper.
Nor on Windows newsgroups.

Only Apple newsgroups.
Where almost every "excuse" for Apple's flaws is whataboutism incarnate.

This "whataboutism" of blaming everyone but Apple _starts with Apple_
and it's a hallmark of Apple users to blame others for Apple's flaws.

*Why don't we look at the zero-day holes in iOS*, Dorper.
Shall we?

I get it you are desperate to defend Apple's honor, but then you must know
how many zero-day bugs Apple had this year (and every year!) compared to Android, right?

No?
You don't know?

Hmmmm.... classic.

Here... allow me to help you to think logically & sensibly, OK?

What you're _not_ saying is that iOS has had 17 zero-days this year alone - which is something like two to three times the zero-days of Android last we checked (since this happens every year).

By definition, a zero day is a bug that Apple forgot to find in testing.
Right?

So that's two to three times (every year - year after year) that Apple's
iOS has zero-day holes that Apple forgot to find in their iOS 'testing'.

HINT: That's a lot!

Why... might you ask... is iOS always two to three times less secure?
I (think I) know why.

Do you?
--
Note: We've already discussed that this doesn't even count the _exploited_
zero days, where you dispute that iOS has _ten times_ the active exploits!
