I’ve been running an M1 for years now. So tired of the argument that Mac is underpowered. No, it’s not a video editing/compiling/gaming powerhouse, but it more than makes up for it with an 8+ hour battery life, best-in-class display, and silent running, going on 5 years now.

It still handles everything I throw at it just fine. If I need to bust out the compute power, Mac just isn’t the right rig for it. But that doesn’t make them useless.

Y’all need to take some time away from the internet if a random meme about an open-source operating system you’ve not heard of negatively affects your state of mind.

Exactly what I was thinking. If I were to be angry enough about this when it actually mattered and I could have steered the boat, I was way too young too even see that it was happening.

Not to say I don’t actively pursue and promote OSS all the time, but I feel like the impact is so much more minimal than it could have been.

They couldn’t afford enough electricity to run it in-house so now they just run a mandated botnet to make you pay for it instead. If this isn’t a page out of a George Orwell novel, it should have been.

This boy holes

Heck, they won’t even let you into a difficult-to-cancel subscription! What are they thinking? Think of the revenue!

I’ve felt this way before, but I also wonder if I would have had kids in another life where the world wasn’t so fucked. I feel occasionally that I was robbed of parenthood by our current state of things.

Haha yeah. That’s where I recently learned about it myself. They’ve been on a hot streak of some really fantastic videos as of late.

It’s kind of wild just how useful asbestos actually was. Aside from the obvious issues, it was genuinely a miracle material that did all sorts of cool things. Too bad our insides hate it more than just about anything else.

All things in moderation, friend :)

Except heroine. Don’t do heroine.

Fun story about these. When I was a kid and first came across these, my classmates had convinced me that lemon was the weakest flavor. This meant that when I had one, it was way too strong, and I assumed all the others must be worse, so it was the flavor I always picked when offered.

Moral of the story: don’t always take others word for it and be willing to try options that you’ve been told are wrong.

It’s almost like people have several unique sets of needs for an operating system and the community works to fill those voids as best as possible with no expectation of financial gain and so things aren’t as polished because of it.

But the company with near unlimited budget can’t figure out how to keep their OS from deleting people’s files and crashing.

“Man, I’ve had a headache for a long as I can remember.”

“Here, try some aspirin. At least give it a shot.”

“No thanks, I need the headache. It lets me play Fortnite.”

EndeavorOS: Taoism/Buddhism?

Hey, what package manager does this thing use? And what FPS does it get on Cyberpunk?

Too bad almost none of that will actually be implemented and will instead be used to target those who disagree.

Dang. My work only got Microsoft 365 Copilot Mobile Plus Pro Ultra Xbox Edition for Teams

I get one full priced game maybe once every two or three years. Most of the time, Steam sales are my friend.

I see no issues here…
