Mac is powered by Unix under the hood and uptimes are generally in the months for me personally. Much stability.

No it isn’t. Oh you probably shouldn’t say macos is UNIX and here’s why, that’s not exactly what UNIX means. It’s just a certification nowadays and they (Apple) have lost it at least once in the past. You can’t be powered by Unix, but you can be Unix compliant or not. It’s like a company advertising themselves as “powered by OSHA”, that’s not how this works pal I hope that helped you learn more pal!.

EDIT: Downvote all you want fuckers, that doesn’t make me wrong. There hasn’t been a UNIX per se since 1995. Anything branded UNIX nowadays is after a certification process established by The Open Group. Want the kicker? Most Linux distributions aren’t Unix certified, only POSIX certified if even, because it is a pain in the ass a complex process and costs a ton of money. And what is worse, macOS is UNIX certified only to keep Apple free from litigation, because they fucked bungled PR once and used the UNIX trademark without permission and it was the cheapest way of avoiding a lawsuit. macOS has no other UNIX heritage in their code base, other than a vague relation of the old NeXTSTEP OS with BSD almost 30 years ago.

Perhaps the issue isn’t your content but your tone, pal.

My tone was very amiable. But idiocy, misinformation and lies shouldn’t be rewarded. This idea that bullshit and ignorance has the same merit as verifiable fact because of the tone it is presented with is harmful. Anyways, I know the most offending part of my original comment was the word “no”, that some people on the internet can’t tolerate, and I assume the use of “pal”(?). Is being someone’s pal derogatory now?
