Because Apple sucks. We had settled this in the PC Vs. Apple thread until you turned it into a thread where you post links about Apple news.

Emoticons are helpful and can give pointers on the tone of the conversation. See;

You’re such a piece of shit.

You’re such a piece of shit 😛

The latter is friendly banter, the former is an insult, and that’s indicated by the tongue-outy face.

Emojis are a blight upon humanity and probably worse than Stalin. I also hate how some sites automatically turn Emoticons into Emojis.

Why.

You’re not allowed to question it. It’s a fact. Emojis are the worst thing since the creation of the universe.

Why.

You can over use anything. That doesn’t make the whole concept bad.

I would typically use them, but I’m exasperated so I leave them off.

If emoticons are good, emojis are fine too. They convey the exact same thing; they just look different.

😉 and ; ) are both saying the exact same thing. I think both are useful in the way that most people on this forum use them (simply conveying the emotion/tone of what was said). The overuse of them (or maybe worse, the replacement of words with them) is what needs to be stopped.

I agree that colored emojis are hideous, but I was mainly thinking about the ones this site has, which I’m completely fine with (that is, unless it just shows up as a box).

I’ve never seen a tasteful use of Emoji, it’s always a bunch of spammed crying laughing faces and 100s and fucking “ok” hand signs.

I also hate how Emojis look compared to Emoticons. When put in a line of text, they stand out really strangely with all the colors and shit.

Funny, because most of the emoji use I’ve seen have been I good taste. The only one that seems bad to me is Carrie Fisher’s Twitter account, where I can’t understand anything that she says.

I mostly don’t find color to be a problem for me, though that’s a more reasonable concern.

While Microsoft was lagging behind to get emoji support in the first place, I think they’re getting ahead of the curve with support now.

And this is one of my main problems with Windows: Almost nothing is standardized. Every app has their own implementation of things, which may or may not work with emoji. Emoji are almost (Looking at you, Chrome) universally supported in every app on the Mac, which I like.

Because Apple sucks.

Quite a few developers and IT people would disagree with your assessment 😃 Most of the best software you see these days — not just the best native apps, but web sites — is built using Apple hardware. There are reasons why Microsoft has been racing to make its core products, like .NET and SQL Server, cross-platform, while adding bash and other Unix-y things to their own stack. If you’d suggested MS would be porting SQL Server to run on Linux even 5 years ago, you would’ve been laughed out of the room.

At my company, you only get Windows hardware if you request it, and then all your team members hate you because getting everything up and running on your machine is a chore.

Don’t get me wrong. Windows 10 is a good OS and I use it on my gaming rig, because as great as Macs are, they’re still pointless for real gaming. But I still think the best Windows laptop is a MacBook Pro running Bootcamp 😉

My new favorite editor is VS Code, btw.

Ditto all of this. My opinion of Windows is slightly less than yours, since I think it’s mediocre at best, but that’s a discussion for somewhere else. . . .

I might be wrong but I believe Tyr’s comment was more anti-yhwx than anti-Apple.

Pretty much.
