What Linux do you run and is it great? Now you are making me think I should plonk more money into a macbook once this macbook is too old and run both Mac OS and Linux.

Framework is a great hardware. I like their vision.

Yes I think this one was the one I saw. It was.. Sigh. Disappointing?

I'm not surprised. Didn't Donald Trump used the Oval Office once to promote some... ketchup or sauce or something, and was paid for? I mean it denigrades the station of the office, but does he really care?

Disclaimer: Macbook user here.

Its okay for a lot of things. And its great for people who don't expect much. But for power users, the moment you start installing stuffs for QoL or for more functionality, its there and then (the lack of RAM) really makes one want to bite the fingernails. I'm running 24GB, but even then my memory pressure is on yellow and i've "offloaded" a lot of stuffs into Ferdium (as that was the only reasonable way of maintaining certain things).

But for those who use on the web stuffs for almost everything, a macbook is a much better chromebook, and it works really well for those who don't want to fiddle with anything.

But that price though. If Macbooks were priced lower (especially the RAM and storage upgrades) I think there will be a huge uptick of people buying the M-CPU Macbooks.

I made the wrong comment to a wrong reply, but i think Thinkpads are great. Except the premium thinkpads have Apple-esque prices but non of the Apple-esque support.

If there was a thinkpad with a good price (especially the newer thinkpads that have soldered RAM) I would buy it and replace my laptop. Not that I don't like my laptop (Its a Clevo, so I know what I'm getting), but ThinPads are pretty good and all rounded for many things.

I'm surprised that the website doesn't list Felon Muskow as a charlatan.

This is ironic. Most far wingers are xenophobic. That is because the very fundamental of these right wingers is "my race, my tribe, my group is better / deserves better than the other groups." This is so ironic on so many levels. The extreme and the far right will forever be the heretics and outcast of today, modern and future world of humanity.

Oh I suffer from that daily. Yeah it's very annoying.

LOL, I know, right. It's just downright dyatopian

Not if you have control over the hardware and firmware. But I suppose open sourced versions will happen one way or another.

 

Hi.

I'm just going to ask here. Not so recently (about nearly a month now, technically this is my third weekend) I received my long awaited on hold 13" Touchbar Macbook Pro M2.

So, let me preface this, I (think) I'm an iPad Pro power user, but I have zero knowledge on Mac OS. I've been playing around to get loads done (and it does get loads done), what are some of the apps that you good fellows would use in your Macs?

I'm trying to get inspiration. Initially I didn't install anything, then I over-installed got got chastised by a good friend as "I'm turning my mac into windows" and then I dialed the dialer back.

For now, I think I have -bash (because it was required for something, even though I know nothing) -lots of python (because the apps require it to run -BetterTouchTool (I'm using goldenchaos config as a base, still learning) -Raycast (I find it... amusing. I'm still trying to marry the functions of Raycast and BetterTouchTool)

Of course there are other apps, but I'll like to hear what Mac users of the Fediverse use. I've seen a lot of apps get mentioned, but some I think are very old, so I'm not sure how they hold up in 2024.

Thanks for responding!

(yes I'm just trying my luck, but who knows if anyone can/will respond?)
