  Floo: Do you think I’m acting in bad faith because I acknowledge a fact, and you won’t? Ah, yes. Projection. It’s amusing that you’re accusing me of what you’re doing. It’s extremely amusing that you’re accusing others of accusing you of doing what they’re doing, while in fact you’re accusing others of doing what you’re doing. Did the recursion make your brain explode? Sorry, I forgot to take your intelligence into account.

    “no u!”

    Is it a very convincing argument. I’m sorry you want to turn this into some sort of psychological mind game. But the fact remains that macOS is free. I’m sorry you struggled so much to accept that.

      The arguments were provided by others, I simply stated what I observed. You are right that Apple doesn’t make you pay for macOS separately, but in my opinion, it’s like saying that Apple processors are free because you don’t pay for them when you buy a Macbook. You also don’t pay for Windows separately when you buy a Windows laptop, you know, but the manufacturer is paying for Windows which is added to the overall cost of the laptop.

        You have to pay money to buy the computer you used to run Linux. So, by your logic, Linux isn’t free either. Yes see how this argument is nonsense.

        And you can speculate all you like about how Apple makes money to pay for its developers. I don’t know, they make this other thing called the iPhone that seems pretty popular. I bet that makes them a lot of money.
