Everything, all of that existed way before Apple. Just because you are ignorant of history doesn't make your point right. Apple got all of their ideas from interacting with other companies in private, then stealing their ideas. Jobs was no longer invited to certain demos because of that kind of shenanigans. And oh god, OSX is NOT build directly from UNIX. It's BSD which they scrapped from the NeXT computer. Everything you are spouting is just wrong. Apple is just good at marketing to chumps who care more about status and looks than usability, and who just buy into the cult mentality and lap all of Apple's bullshit without rubbing two neurons together long enough to notice they are being scalped with overpriced crap.
Please do continue to spew ad-hominem copypasta from every Apple hate thread in the history of Reddit like you're a first-gen LLM trained on r/foss posts. "All of that existed way before Apple" ... please feel free to refute each product I listed as being innovative or new by showing where it previously existed. I'd love to understand how some form of the iPhone was around way before Apple, or the iPad -- please go for it.
As for the statement that OSX is based on BSD, wow! Such an important distinction when BSD is a descendant of UNIX... this is a nice little straw man thing, please go look up what a straw man argument is.
On Jobs getting banned from demos, that's actually hilarious. But please do list any products I named that Apple objectively stole. I'm sure you have all the info there.
Just super fun times, I always hoped that Lemmy would have a higher level of discussion than Reddit. But how can it, when it's the same people and they're even more self-important? :D
Good boy, you learned ad-hominem. Now, tell me which other big words you know?
Yeah, the circlejerking and dog piling from people who have no idea what they are talking about is actually far worse here than it was at Reddit - but just know, we aren’t all as misinformed as these people. You’re absolutely correct.
