"Every major-numbered release of macOS is more annoying than the one before. Each release includes terrible new UI decisions, removes useful features you've come to depend on, and restricts the use of your computer as a general-purpose computer even more. It has probably been steadily down hill since OSX 10.8."
He's right.
@genmaicha it's the best of a ton of total shit options. you can have an ugly slow computer that takes up all of your free nights and weekends doing IT support toil, or you can have a pretty and fast machine that doesn't give you trouble as long as you stay on the beaten path. show me a better option and i'll switch, but a PC running linux or windows sure as fuck ain't it.
@sneak @genmaicha My system isn't slow at all (faster than any Mac I ever used) and yes, I run Linux. I rarely have any trouble that takes more than 2 minutes to resolve. I couldn't imagine going back to Mac since returning to a Linux workstation 3-4 years ago.
@PeterSanchez @genmaicha cool i'm glad it's all working out for you i'll be over here with my forty gpu laptop
@PeterSanchez @genmaicha this question speaks more to your imagination than anything.
@wowaname @PeterSanchez @genmaicha i'm living proof there's no lock-in unless you opt in to it. i don't use facetime, imessage, icloud, et c.
even applying for a job there requires an apple account lmao
@wowaname @PeterSanchez @genmaicha you can use a mac without an apple ID. i do.
@sneak @genmaicha Hah, what good is it if you can only use it within the constraints of what Apple wants to allow? :)
