MacOS is way more often worse than Windows than how Linux does it.
Linux sometimes have important settings hidden in config files that are different in every distro. Sometimes an API is legit worse in Linux, than in Windows.
MacOS has a lot of things that cannot be set at all, constantly deprecated APIs, not to mention it's locked into overpriced hardware. CoreAudio was only better than the Windows native offerings until XAudio came, and Pipewire for Linux seems promising from at least a developer standpoint.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
they don't think it be like it is, but it do
That's different, in that its grammatical in a dialect but not in Standard American English.
In particular, it's using the 'habitual be'. It's saying something like "people don't think it always is like it currently is, but it's always like this."
It's a Futurama quote, my dude
"They don't think it be like it is, but it do" is originally a quote from a Yankees player, Oscar Gamble, about Yankees management in 1975.
It's a sensible, grammatical construction in his native dialect, but is well remembered mostly because it isn't very sensible in SAE.
That is a neat tidbit! Thanks for sharing
As an aside, what Futurama episode did they quote him in?
I already did!
Am I missing something? Ctrl-f on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Futurama_episodes doesnt turn up an episode with that name, and googling "they don't think it be like it is but it do Futurama" turns up nothing interesting.
Honestly I don’t know which episode but I 100% guarantee it’s in the show because that’s where I heard it first.
Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse, all depending on your usecase.
They also charge developers for the privilege of compiling their programs for Apple platforms* (and using one of the worst IDEs known to man).
^(*Yes, you can technically compile apps with a free account, but AFAIK they will be restricted to only run on the developer's machines unless you shell out $99 a year.)
wat? You have the whole
gccsuite on macOS. What kind of black magic are you trying to compile? I've cross-compiled a bunch of libraries for mac on intel and arm chips without much issues..?That’s only on iOS you can run whatever you want on on MacOS.
Unless it's 32 bit of course.
Just move to EU - we’re getting side loading
