Yeah. Honestly, creative suite is a big one.

Yeah, I bought a Mac Studio, Mac Pro, and used to own a powerMac G5. The worst part was that Apple sucks at GPU’s and always did. I dumped my Mac Pro when I realised the GPU was totally crap compared to PC half the price on the market, and there was no official way to update it, and keep using MacOS. I could switch GPU, but, Mac OS wouldn’t have the drivers.

It was super embarressing. Despite only needing to support a handful of GPU’s, Apple still didn’t offer a long timeframe of support for that system. The only solution was buy a whole new computer

Apple only updates their computers for about 6-7 years. After that, no new MacOS updates. Architecture changes are unrelated, but, yes, they did that twice in the past 20 years (Microsoft and Linux both support mostly the same architectures they always did, with the itanium builds, or other funky architectures that never succeeded).

In contrast, even Microsoft only JUST broke backwards compatibility with old processors (and, have only done it once)… And I’m not even sure that’s a hard cut off (as, I’ve seen older CPU’s than 7XXX series with windows 11 being sold)

Apple profits on both the OS, and the hardware directly. They’re in full control, and it isn’t as though they need to support a RANGE of hardware. And they charge a premium for this hardware.

As BJW mentioned, even worse, developers hoping to develop for Mac OS or IOS NEED to buy an Apple computer to ensure compatibility with the latest builds. Microsoft doesn’t force you to buy a Surface if you want to develop for them. On Linux, you don’t need a specific system either

No way? Apple? OMG… They’d never… Would they?

In case people haven’t worked it out, Apple’s business model has always been screw-everyone, to the point that they even sent out letters to other resellers customers (at a unrelated Apple reseller) to buy Applecare…

In fact, I would be surprised if they also weren’t using the App store metrics to identify ideas/apps they should copy and target too (or, companies to buy).

If you spent money for that lovely premium computer hardware they sell, you only get updates for a few years, if you bought it at the end of the cycle.

If you remember Antennagate, Steve bent himself out of place to pretend their problem was the same as their competitors.

Multi-Touch phone. “Oh we patented that”. They’d hate for their customers to mistake them for inventing multitouch. All those customers who came into our reseller who heard “macs can’t get viruses” were just their own stupidity. Not misleading advertising

Already have a few assholes on my Facebook rando feed getting upset that they’re going to lose all their attention (as nobody is going to like pages with rage bait)

And the great part is the responses. Nobody is standing up for them

It’s tragic that they might have to rely on posting things that are positive, instead of relying on forcing shit opinions onto everyone’s feed

That benefits bots

What is needed is the ability to do, subscribed only, friends of subscribed, and all

AI makes you a researcher these days.

Every dumbfuck who never finished school and has no training is delighted it can make them seem smart.

I’ve literally had arguments with customers who have told me the “facts” based on my own code logs and explain API’s to me and what they do, in products I’ve been maintaining for years.

The biggest problem is that there is no incentive for AI to say they’re wrong

The greens I think want it to be opt in.

However, it’s better to pass something and improve it later

At the moment, it’s a shit show

I’ve been saying this for a while.

Of course, our right wing nut jobs won’t vote for it because they need rage bait to get votes (and normal people don’t post rage bait).

If this passes, Australia will turn sane again

Nobody is going to switch back to windows just to play their game

I like gnome, but, switched back to kde because the extensions I needed broke last fedora update.

I love cosmic, but the keyboard focus doesn’t always follow into the correct tab, which was also a deal breaker

The only real issue I have with kde, is Google drive integration isn’t baked in at the moment. But, I just use the website, and there were plenty of other solutions I could use too

Surely coconut simulator makes up 80% of all revenue. It’s amazing

Of course you love AI. We’ve all seen your AI slop posts on c/linuxsucks. And, a lot of it is old information and wrong, which, you don’t even verify (like about Discord).

That’s also why you need to ban any comments in your community, because even you know it’s slop
