I'm annoyed with the idea of getting a Mac

cross-posted from: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45692012

I know this is going to be unpopular with some, but I am seriously considering a Mac and I am annoyed by the idea of it.

I NEED MacOS or Windows for my work. There is one application that does not work in Linux yet and there are no alternatives. It is a critical work application.

With that being said, you can probably guess that Linux is my preferred OS of choice.

I am currently using a Windows desktop for my work, but I do run into situations where I need a laptop. The laptop I am using now is a Thinkpad from 2021 with Fedora. I actually really love this computer. My only real complain is that the webcam is pretty garbage.

So, I think I need a new computer. My choices are Windows laptops which have decent pricing with good specs, or Apple which is extremely expensive for what you get.

I'm really annoyed with Windows' ads, bloat, and general lack of privacy; specifically Recall. On the other hand, it is hard to justify spending an extra $400 on a Macbook air just to get a 1tb hard drive. My work files alone take up a little more than 200gb.

I guess this is just a rant. I'm not looking for any solutions as what I am really looking is the ability to use Linux for my work which is not an option at the moment.

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.

  1. The prices they charge for SSD upgrades is seriously laughably criminal. That saidโ€ฆ
  2. You could choose to get a MacBook Pro, which starts at a higher storage tier. Itโ€™s still going to be more expensive than the air with the same size SSD, but youโ€™ll get an inch larger screen and it is a seriously good screen.
  3. If found after years of owning Linux and Mac laptops that I get years longer out of the Mac laptop, all things considered. They may be more up front, but dollars per year they come out ahead.
  4. MacOS is UNIX certified, so you should feel right at home in terminal.
  5. Finally, take advantage of their education pricing. At least in the US, they donโ€™t check for eligibility. So your $1399 1TB MacBook Air is now 1279. Feel a little bit better about that price?

Bonus. The trackpad is head and shoulders above anything Iโ€™ve ever used. For me, thatโ€™s worth the price of admission alone.

Per reports, all this in the last 48 hours while that Jewish Nazi society is lying to all of us about the slaughter it did at Mossad, CIA & likely ex-USAID run so called "humanitarian aid" centers

I see reports from others that in the last few hours, the Nazi regime increased the intensity of the slaughter even more

It has opened so many slaughter fronts & yet Western Imperial "journalists" treat non-stop lies from them as credible enough.

Ukraine just rewrote the rules of war

โ€œThis should serve to remind us of why it is so dangerous to have such a chaotic U.S. administration at such a dangerous moment. At a time like this, it would be nice if the president had a fully staffed National Security Council led by a tested, seasoned adviser โ€” rather than an NSC that is led by a moonlighting secretary of state and that has just been purged of many of its most experienced staffers.โ€

@chris In that sense, the stakes haven't changed for Russia at all. Nuking Ukraine would show conventional weakness and cost them one or two allies. And the allies are important today and in the future. And more important after any nuclear use, tactical or strategical. Russia would open pandoras box again after it was kept tightly closed for almost 80 years.

@OneEyeKing Oh to be sure there IS but it's hard to get it to work at range, but search for "HRF" or "HeRF" gun, it stands for high energy RF, and basically it invokes using a magnetron out of an old microwave, some high voltage photoflash or other capacitors capable of rapid discharge without damage, an inverter to step up battery voltage to around 4kv, and a trigger mechanism of some sort. These are also useful devices for testing Faraday shielding of computer equipment, granted often a destructive test, but a good one if reliability during high EMF conditions is important.

@nanook I don't think that it was ever possible to divide people into such a distinctive two groups without a major kinetic conflict. It can only be achieved by emotional hacking through hijacking of information. TV news is outdated. Now most people receive news based on the echo chamber they subscribe to which muffles any contradicting ideas. There is very little deviation and individualism. It's all emotionally based tribalism. This was never the case. Also feminism strengthened it.

@OneEyeKing I guess I'd be in a better position to agree or disagree if you were more explicit with regard to what "two groups" you are referring to, even without specifying it suggests a binary thinking mode that is not in line with a much more complex and nuanced reality. That TV news is outdated, well at least there is one thing we can agree upon. There are many echo chambers as you say and so there is not the widespread agreement that you think exists. Yes I will concur emotional tribalism is real and is problematic.

Thomas Sowell talks a lot about "culture", but fails to admit that culture is also blood-feud, and convictions, and responsible to wiping out entire Civilizations. Thomas Sowell is not a very smart dude.

Western Civilization is building an ethical, not a cultural Society. Something the ancients - Greece and Rome - started building. Of course they fallen into complacence, and decadence, and Thomas Sowell is correct on that record.

Yet the fact that we are building a Civilization - not a "cluture", not "society", not "code"... escapes him.

Thomas Sowell is not ignorant, not stupid. He's your average dude who has not figured it out how to fix broken things, so he is putting extraordinary efforts into it.

"Culture" wiped out the entire South American structure of Civilizations. Not just one nations, one tribe, one race - but basically re-written History.

There has been never critical views to "culture", such as that modern civilization shall never affect indigenous people... oh, wait.

It took us thousands of years of "evolution" to realize that "culture" is more destructive than the hydrogen bomb.

I rest my case, and I wish Thomas Sowell would stop hawking about it.

in reply to Nanook

pleroma - Link to source

FourOh-LLC

The relevancy is that some things are not broken, and they do not need fixing. The fact that there are tyrants, the rich and poor, and other extremes is not an exception. Its not something broken.

Have you ever seen a tornado constructing a condo, how come all we ever see is tornadoes deconstructing them? Only a fool complains about tornadoes in that context.

How come its always the poor who wants to "re-distribute wealth"? How come the rich is not protesting on the streets for being obstructed in their wealth re-distribution efforts?

Half of what Aristotle stated has to do with the struggle over limited resources, but 2300 years ago the concept of "limited resources" was not in the text books. So smart and curious people created these cumbersome revelations about the same fundamental fact.

I'm grokking here..

in reply to Nanook

pleroma - Link to source

FourOh-LLC

I brought up Thomas Sowell because a lot of memes keep quoting him.

Its only commerce, the market, its business that is fully aligned with the governing forces of limited resources. NONE of the other cultural and civilizational institutions matter anymore. I saw in the last few decades how Law, Education, Arts has been subverted by activists, and all those institutions are now on the verge of collapse.

Everything can be re-imagined except profit. What makes one person successful, and the other person a failure is their capacity to recognize this. Unless you are "gainfully employed" you will not likely to succeed.

Unless of course your are a sociopath, a criminal, a professional victim and a grifter, and so on. Or a warlord, a tryrant.

in reply to Nanook

I did not call him unintelligent, I called him average who is putting out some extraordinary effort, but most of it is wasted on me, and others like me. The same goes for Aristotle, as I already explained.

I think people like Thomas Sowell would do better with deconstructing something that would directly benefit "Humanity" like Islam, Communism, Activism. These are parasitic institutions, and I'm convinced we could get rid of the social and economic classes of people who are promoting them. Again, these are not something you can or want to "destroy" or "fix", but something you want to clearly describe for what they truly are - parasitic institutions.

By the way, you CAN get a law degree, a PhD, even a Noble price with low IQ. You CAN become a business mogul with low IQ. You can be very effective in a great many ways with low IQ.

in reply to FourOh-LLC

We managed to described a great many destructive things such as false advertisement, predatory lending, monopoly. The reason we are able to describe them is because they are all involved with financial transactions, dollars and cents, without any rounding errors.

Describing why Activism or Communism is parasitic may be done the same way, as both of these are bottom-less money pits never building any tangible wealth.

Islam is the same way, and to me the visit by Trump was an eye-opener. The wealth of the emirates is based on natural resources, based on depleting them. Trump brought them the idea of Commerce, in intellectual assets, a wealth-building not resource-depleting proposal.

I did not vote for Trump because of politics, I voted for him because of his constructive ideas.

It somehow made its way to my Explore page on Twitter when I check there for news. I think it got so much attention because of how apathetic all of the person's "online friends" were towards his suicidal posts. They all just completely supported it and played into it (I get dark humor but this somehow just feels like straight apathy) or would change the subject into something else entirely like a casual conversation, without paying attention to the suicide tendency in question. They grew desensitized to it... until it finally happens.
So I think this type of apathetic behavior might be shocking for people looking in from the outside. Even for someone like me, I did find it odd. They glorify suicide. Where the fuck are the person's parents when all of this is going down?
Younger people nowadays are fucked inside these mentally unwell communities. I remember growing up, if someone would say such things online, I personally would take it seriously and try to talk to them. Now they all just want to kill themselves and propagate the idea inside the group. โ€‹:lmao:โ€‹ I believe turning to online communities for "help", where there are more mentally unwell retards constantly pushing each other over the edge with whatever they are trying to deal with, is adding fuel to the fire. I see it constantly, people coping online with other bad habits that the community they're in pushes on them.

Unironically, I think a lot of them need Jesus. lol
Not retards online passing their own demons onto them.
