    You sent me the license of agreement for a completely different piece of software and think that’s evidence of macOS costing money?

    Are you hallucinating?

      The first link is evidence that video codecs cost money and, as per that source:

      Most video codecs such as H.264, H265/HEVC, MPEG-2, MPEG-4… requires the manufacturer to pay a license fee. The fees are then added to the final product, but the actual codec fees are usually unknown to the end user.

      This was in response to the earlier discussion about third party libraries costing money.

        OK, I guess some third-party libraries do cost money, which is to be expected. That doesn’t change the fact that macOS is free.

          It’s clear you’re acting in bad faith at this point - you’ve completely skipped over anything else I said in my original comment.

            Me: points out of fact

            You: you’re acting in bad faith!

            It still doesn’t make any sense to me. Do you think I’m acting in bad faith because I acknowledge a fact, and you won’t? Or is it because I keep poking holes in your logic?

            Sounds like hurt feelings to me

              It not making sense to your useless brain doesn’t make it false.

                Now you’re just talking to yourself.

                macOS is free, and no one here has been able to give a single shred of evidence to prove to the contrary.

                    I can hardly be blamed for not participating in another person’s delusion. Or yours.

                    macOS is free. But you’re free to try to prove otherwise. A lot of people have tried and failed hilariously.

              You misinterpreted what I said in that initial comment, asked if I was hallucinating, and when I clarified this misinterpretation, you proceeded to skip over anything I had said beyond the first link.

              You are not giving any valid counter arguments to what I said in my original comment (in fact detracting from the original point of this whole thread by speculating you hurt my feelings?), this is why I believe you are acting in bad faith.

                Am I supposed to feel bad for you?

                Your entire comment threat has been bad faith. It’s amusing that you’re accusing me of what you’re doing. But whatever.

                  Floo: Do you think I’m acting in bad faith because I acknowledge a fact, and you won’t?

                  Ah, yes. Projection.

                  It’s amusing that you’re accusing me of what you’re doing.

                  It’s extremely amusing that you’re accusing others of accusing you of doing what they’re doing, while in fact you’re accusing others of doing what you’re doing.

                    “no u!”

                    is not a very convincing argument. I’m sorry you want to turn this into some sort of psychological mind game. But the fact remains that macOS is free. I’m sorry you struggle so much to accept that.

                    And if you equate “stating facts” with “acting in bad faith”, then that’s your own problem.
