I think I'm just getting older and the more they try to push stuff on me as "we own it, and you pay us to borrow it" the less I'm interested in participating. Apple store/hardware is kind of my last hold out on this front. I still use it as my daily driver but use linux more and more than just getting work done. I generally play old consoles/pc games, have an older car I can work on easily (thanks dad/mom) even though I could afford something newer, use FOSS software whenever I can practically, buy dumb appliances, etc. It's as if we quit valuing simplicity and ownership as a society or manufacturers are just slipping it in more and more like a slow boil? We seem to be adding complexity and extra steps without any pragmatic advantage other than more money for corps. I'm not sure.
