lol i was about to say. Updates have been free since what , Lion? Lemmy is just hurr durr non Linux operating systems bad π
There was a time when you had to pay for the next major version. I think it went free around mountain lion or so?
And even then it was only $20. The last time it was over $99 was 16 years ago.
There are high-schoolers alive today (maybe even in this thread) who were born after Apple stopped charging for updates. Maybe it's time to get some new jokes.
Obviously an apple shill getting paid in update money
So, what? We're just straight up making shit up about Mac now when trashing it on Lemmy?
Its literally been over a decade since the last time Apple charged for an OS update
Time to update the meme.
- windows: oh no, I was in a meeting!
- mac: oh no, I need a new mac for this to work!
- Linux: I'm afraid to install this, my graphics will probably break again!
I haven't had to touch xorg.conf in many years
It's been so long since X broke that most people won't know what you mean by xorg.conf
