I would never put something in my brain that doesn't at least have a public API documentation. If the company discontinued the product I want to be able to keep using it. Open Source software would be best.

The Australian model is also interesting. After your degree you pay a certain percentage of your income to your university for a decade or so. But only if you earn more than the average person.

This means a university gets more money when their students gets good job.

A few years ago there was this hilarious trend called Nutscaping where people made beautiful landscape photos with a tiny amount of ballsack hanging into the picture from the top.

I am a Linux user for over a decade but I have no idea what this discussion is about. Can someone give me a tldr? I install some software using apt and some using the store and never have any issues.

Absolutely. They will try to plug keyboards and screens into the neuralink chip.

A good way to get an impression about real america as an outsider is to follow smaller hobbyist YouTubers from middle sized towns. One guy from Michigan I follow has a remarkable boring life that's completely different from every American stereotype.

I know quite a few kids and early 20s who don't even own a PC or laptop. They own phones and a TV but think PCs are only for school and work.

Not every atheist is a humanist or even pro science, so they definitely exist. For example some regions in East Germany have a high Atheist rate and a very right wing population.

The best aspect of this trend is that we finally can buy devices without glass screens again. Plastic screens are so much more durable, especially if you are clumsy like I am. The prie is still to high though.

A German Black rapper (Sam Deluxe) once said: "as a black person you can't really choose your political opinion freely, because one side only wants you out of the country." Many join the left because it means protection.

I think parts of hiphop culture fits quite well to a conservative worldview when it comes to money, masculinity and the role of women.

Haha true. But I only said it in the context of this picture.

Because it is a Unix system, so the Bash feels very similar and if you install homebrew you have a package manager with a very Linux like feel and a software catalog where most Linux command lines tool have a port for OS X. From a usability perspective OS X is Linux, but without permanent issues and reinstalls. (and I am saying this as a 12 year Linux User who only uses Macs for work)
