      I’m pretty sure they only built the spaceship because Steve Jobs was dying and no one was willing to tell him no. They’re really proud of that shit

        I mean, their entire design philosophy can be summed up as “form over function”, so a circular building with all of the problems that entails makes complete sense.

    And only one of them would not have a thousand new security vulnerabilities the same day that the source code could be seen by the bad guys.

    Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps? Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems? Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically? Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?

    This picture, it frustrates me on many levels.

      Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps?

      iOS begins with a lower-case ‘i’, making this error more frequent.

      Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems?

      Apple’s most iconic product is the iPhone, but the meme compares software. So the ‘Apple’-item then becomes iOS.

      Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically?

      The rule of three applies to jokes and typically dictates that the punchline is third and given extra emphasis. The layout reflects that tradition.

      Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?

      From what I’ve seen, Linus Thorvalds uses default work environments and doesn’t care much about hardware beyond functionality.

      Why is this man not using dark mode…

      Not everyone likes dark mode. I can’t speak for Linus, but dark mode seriously bothers my eyes.

      Also, the Linux man is using windows (default windows background plus windows explorer open).

      Pretty sure “That man” is Linus Torvalds and the light bleed is actually the desktop background (looks like a photo)

      As for the rest… 🤷

    Most things can be done with a lot less resources than you think

    Not for getting billions in unnecessary funding from people with too much money and such poor decision-making that I wouldn’t trust them to house sit for me.

      I can understand why they went with it though, it's pretty difficult to find an image of 'the microsoft HQ' given that the real HQ is the redmond campus, and it's kinda comically huge.

    As a longtime Mac user, I remember when my OS became basically bigger iOS.
