Everyone born today is in debt for hundreds of thousands of dollars because the people before them would t balance a budget and the government decided to print print print. They either work and pay that money off or they die in complete poverty. Thatâ(TM)s slavery. Itâ(TM)s debtors prison minus the walls holding them in. We are all cattle in this economy and they will either milk us or slaughter us at their whim. If you believe otherwise I feel sorry for you. Itâ(TM)s the economic version of the Matrix. Wake up

To be fair the government believes this too. Why else would they just print money whenever the fuck they feel like it? That of course begs the question, why do I pay taxes if they just print money whenever the fuck they want to? It's all completely fake and made to enslave people. This hasn't been a capitalist country in decades, not since leaving the gold standard.

OSX is based on FreeBSD. They did not do a reimplementation, they just added the easy parts. And basing things on FreeBSD is also the thing that allows Apple to switch CPU architecture. Because they get that almost for free. And that is why they could do it so fast. Sure, theoretically MS could do the same, but they are not organizationally capable of even thinking that they may have screwed up enough to make that step the only way out.

Also refer to countless large-scale software projects that have failed or are in a bad state but cannot be fixed.

Why are you arguing? Your post just proved my whole point. Also it's not based on FreeBSD, it utilized the FreeBSD user space while doing their own kernel, Darwin. You keep stating "can't be fixed" as if it's some fact, while simultaneously acknowledging others have, in fact, fixed these issues in the past. Let it go.

I disagree. Apple went from OS9 to OSX, a completely new codebase by creating new frameworks for devs and a translation layer for old apps (Remember Cocoa, Rosetta, Carbon?). They then phased the old out while providing documentation and tools for devs to move. It's perfectly doable with very clear cases of it being done. Microsoft simply refuses to do it.

Apple's even done this while switching from PPC to Intel and then to ARM. There is no technological barrier here, it's all organizational and cultural at MS.

It can be fixed, they just won't do it. Microsoft has fought internally over various technologies for decades, between win32 and .Net and all the shit in-between. They never standardized like Apple did which left them entrenched in technical debt. They could, today, start a standardization process, build out a new and modern tech stack, advise their devs to migrate to that, then set a date with the cut off. Apple's success at this is a model for anyone to follow. They just won't due to internal fighting.

Everyone else sheds the old stuff, even Linux drops code from time to time. Microsoft does this to themselves.

I would argue that it can not be good, without facebook somehow knowing how you felt about what you were looking at on line. When you read an article discussing AI, are you doing that because you love AI, you're invested in AI stocks, you hate AI, you use AI in your job, AI took your job, the image with the headline was interesting, or maybe just random click. Thats hard for it to figure out, so it might just send you all the AI things in your feed to see how you respond.
