At this point, becoming suspicious that Apple intentionally puts things into macOS to fill up your disk over time and make you want to upgrade.
This machine lost 800mb over the last two days, even though I didn't create anything or update any software.
I went looking for stuff that might have been generated. Here's one. A directory of…copies of the desktop background images (which already ship with the OS in another directory.)
macOS creates new copies at random times. Forever. What.
@cancel so on top of having intemtionally unupgradeable hardware and unrepairable flash by virtue of soldering down the SSD as a part that'll inevitably wear over use they literally commit themselves to accelerate the #ReducedLifecycle by virtue of introducing added wear & tear...
Someone should tell #LouisRossman about it...

@standev still, your hardware would likely last even longer if RAM & SSD weren't soldered on, CPUs were socketed and batteries weren't glued-in...
Granted, noone uses #Apple hardware because they like it [except @fuchsiii because she's in love with her #fanless #MacBookAir] but most people want #macOS and it's #exclusives!
