You seem to have rediscovered why some open source projects use names like GIMP. 🤣

Yeah, Monero is a pain which is why a lot of people prefer mailing the money. That was my point.

Lesser of two bad guys maybe?

Also traceable unless you bought the bitcoin anonymously or mined it. Mullvad accepts Monero, which is not traceable (and also bitcoin if you really want to).

I highly doubt there is a user that truly does not care for innovation. If there is a better product for the same price, who wouldn’t buy it.

More importantly, the impact is not just innovative features but security, price of ownership and reliability. Apple managed to “innovate” themselves into a position where they are obstructing data rescue on Macs and iPhones. That’s the kind of thing you may not be thinking about when buying but may greatly regret not having when you need it.

I guess technically. This makes me wonder what actually qualify as stars. Do neutron stars? Do black holes?

UPDATE: By the definitions on wikipedia, miriam-webster dictionary and britanica, a brown dwarf this cold may not actually qualify to be a star. I will search further for astronomical definition.

Again, why are you so over focused on stock price? As a consumer, how is the first thing you take away from lack of innovation and engineering failures that Apples stock price may suffer and not that the machine you are buying may be sub-par and overpriced?

TL;DR: Under Jobs, Apple focused on engineering products and the profitability and stock price followed. Under Cook, Apple focuses on stock price (dividends, stock buybacks) and is massively cutting R&D/Engineering costs to the point they did not release anything really new for years and their projects keep failing while also increasing prices. E.g. Siri that is unable to catch up to modern chatbots.

Did you watch the video or are you guessing based on the thumbnail? Because the video isn’t about Apples profitability.

I feel you may be boarding a different sinking ship: https://youtu.be/JUG1PlqAUJk

I have been using Linux Mint for over half a year now, and besides gaming, I had no issues with a great experience. Had very bad experience with other Linux distros.
