"Every major-numbered release of macOS is more annoying than the one before. Each release includes terrible new UI decisions, removes useful features you've come to depend on, and restricts the use of your computer as a general-purpose computer even more.

He's right.

@sneak one wonders why these people complain incessantly when they could just leave the apple ecosystem

@genmaicha it's the best of a ton of total shit options. you can have an ugly slow computer that takes up all of your free nights and weekends doing IT support toil, or you can have a pretty and fast machine that doesn't give you trouble as long as you stay on the beaten path. show me a better option and i'll switch, but a PC running linux or windows sure as fuck ain't it.

@sneak plenty of people find a way. I've never owned an apple computer in my life, for example, and I don't plan on doing so--because I'd rather use something that I can fix on my own (i.e., something like linux) rather than be held hostage by a trillion-dollar company and complain helplessly every time a new release comes out

@genmaicha so you're ignorant of how much better it is to use a mac as a daily driver. cool. i have multiple mac, windows, and linux boxes within 3 meters of me. come back when you've enough experience to have an informed opinion and i'll be happy to have this discussion then and only then.
