The current version of macOS, Tahoe, is also atrocious. It’s completely unusable on a desktop, it feels like they want to make it work like an iPad.
For the better or worse, the only good OS is now Linux.

The thing is that if MS concentrated on providing a bulletproof experience, a sane licensing mode, with a low, cheap, entry bar, they would just keep being the top dog forever.
Now they are just giving market share to Linux and MacOS for free.

Well, the only piece of Apple tech I currently own is an iPad. I bought the thing through a pretty nice offer from my telco, and for a pretty specific use case, running the Affinity suite on the move without lugging my beefy laptop around.
When I saw how they went full idiot with their glass shit for the UI (hellooo, Windows Aero), I stopped allowing updates. The fact that to reduce transparency and effects to make the thing half usable you have to go into accessibility settings says it all.

it really is wild that they’re pushing away so many people, who otherwise would just sit with them forever, just because profits must always increase
like all they have to do is stop making things worse and people will stay with them and continue joining them. that’s literally all they have to do. and they can’t do it.

Most public companies and governments focus entirely on short term wins with zero consideration for the future.
Microslop is no different.
