Macos as King deeply offends me in a way I didn't think possible.

That's just some dude that bought a crown.

[–] Dnn@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

An overly expensive crown.

I mean if we were talking accurately the public bought the crown for him in the case of Apple.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a user. Which is apt, because it's either someone who thinks a crown makes a king (and falls for bullshit like mac is better for x) or wants everyone to see their expensive crown that they own and it's theirs.

Most Mac users I've encountered aren't like this... One or two can be, I see just as much if not more elitism in the Linux community

Although Windows doesn't fit at all. Windows NT was based on VMS which came from RSX-11. Rsx-11 was the OS running on the Pdp-11 on which Unix was written.

I dunno. It does seem accurate to me. Monarchies throughout history were just people who were given a mandate by their diety to rule and had the resources to pay a strong enough army to "correct" anyone who suggested otherwise.
