You can tame even Windows, making it reasonable private, because in Windows you can set almost everything (most things a certainly hidden and without much documentation, logic, but it's possible) in Mac you can't set nothing what Apple don't want.

I’m not an Apple apologist, but I feel there are some things Apple does that are privacy focused.
- The ability to E2EE encrypt iCloud is a very simple privacy feature that is accessible to the technical and non-technical alike.
- Private relay provides a double VPN architecture that doesn’t cause constant captcha hell and again just works for non-technical people.
- Hide my email, while not being perfect, is a pretty straightforward method to make throwaway email addresses.
The things I hate about Apple are generally not privacy related.
- They are a mega-corporation that stifles innovation
- They don’t allow other browsers
- They are puritanical about what is allowed in the App store
I hate apple so much.
I really hate Iphones.
Iphone, Iphone,
I fucking hate it
I hate it so much
I want to beat it wtih a stick
It's such a slow-ass,
buggy piece of shit,
and everyone who works for Apple
can suck my fucking dick
I want to punch it in the face
and shoot it in the head
and run it over with a steamroller
over and over, until it's fucking dead
I'm going to dig up Steve Jobs
and Piss on his bones
Because fuck him and everyone
with their stupid fucking Iphones.
