@Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I was there when Apple descended on academia with deep preditory discounts and even purchasing all wall space on St George subway station to flog their underpowered overpriced sewn-up tight proprietary products.
It was an obvious trap, but few cared. A laptop 90% off? Gee, that's gotta be a good dealβ¦
I ran yggdrasil Linux, some were intrigued by my ability to keep working while a document printed, but not enough to part with their pretty Mac.
