  • Hey, look at it this way:

    1. macOS is, if nothing else, certified UNIX. Which means under the hood it’s actually a lot like Linux.

    2. Are you really overpaying for the hardware? Apple makes the hardware and the OS and every other OS subsidizes the cost of their OS with ads (Windows and Android). At the very least, it feels like you’re paying a higher price for the hardware by having a small amount of more respect for your privacy in respect to invasive advertising.

    3. The new Apple developed silicon (M1-M4) is actually really solid stuff, and as such, are you really overpaying when it comes to quality hardware and a quality OS?

    It’s valid to think you’re overpaying, I’m just saying maybe to try to view it a different way if you have to buy it anyway.










  • “Let it play out in the courts” is such a sick game of making people wait for justice when it’s clearly, painfully unconstitutional stuff they want to let wind through the courts. The justices know that letting the law take it’s sweet time with these matters means that even if, in the end, it’s deemed unconstitutional, that in the meantime people will have their rights needlessly violated.

    Such a fucking joke with so many things that are painfully plainly unconstitutional on their fucking faces. But that’s been the sick game the courts play with people’s lives for decades now, hiding behind the idea that it’s so complex and needs to be worked out legally. It’s actually not all that fucking complex at all you fucking hacks. If it deprives someone of their civil rights, it should be stamped out immediately, not playing this fucking bullshit dithering and dilly-dallying game of “but does it actually deprive people of their civil rights?” because no shit it does, Sherlock!

    I agree that the backend for snaps being proprietary sucks, but I actually think snaps themselves are pretty useful in server configurations because of the sandboxing and limiting access to system resources. I get the whole argument that it’s doing what flatpak already did yadda yadda, but like… competing standards happens. It’s part of life and always will be.
