As a very longtime Apple/Mac user, that is sadly no longer the case. With nothing user upgradeable anymore, I’ve noticed Apple products are no longer holding the same value as they used to.

I have the luxury of being able to upgrade my iPhone and MacBook every couple years as I write them off as a business expense.

Now that I understand how things work, I’ve picked up a few more accounts/instances (including one on Kbin) as backups and currently use Lemm.ee as my main account.

Ultimately, I would like to start my own instance for me and my family.

Yes she is. They are great dogs with (too) much personality. Sorry you don’t have yours anymore.
