Files are obviously a nefarious invention by those evil Linux communists!

When did Apple ever cost less (than anything)? 2nd part is spot on.

Is this just a shot at apple or did I miss something and they’re trying to “get rid of files”?

I disagree. Currently apple does way more technological advancements than we ever had. Imagine an rtx5090 performance in a small factor of a 300w box. But it is also 96gb of ram on top and it also have the fastest CPU on earth (blender benchmark). The entire Mac mini M6 costs like a single 5090. And considering how android moves backwards, enshittifies, removing features and adding fuckton of tracking, while apple is moving towards preserving privacy and anti-ai. Don’t get me wrong, apple is still a walled garden, but they don’t even block you from installing Linux on their apple silicon macbooks.

I’m no spring chicken anymore and I don’t remember Apple ever costing less. And their software has always been anti-intuitive.

Correct, this won’t be. Even 10 years ago when I was on Reddit, people tended to side with Android and androids in 2016 actually did kinda suck. 85-92% of all Lemmy users are that, guys like me who used Reddit when it was good and left when they asked for a selfie to “confirm my age” on my 15 year old Reddit account. These days, now on the fediverse? Even Apple users hate Apple, Android fans are packing their bags and moving onto either GrapheneOS or SailfishOS, and no one is really a ‘fanboy’ of anything anymore. We hate even the shit we like. Except me. I’m still a fan of eating ass.

When did Apple ever do more and cost less, outside of the early 80s? The “Apple tax” has been around for 40 years. Regardless of whether it did more or less, and it’s done lots of both over the years, Apple stuff has cost more for almost the entirety of their existence and you don’t even need to specify what type of device.
