Well, I wouldn’t call it a “brain dead take”. I usually keep an Android and an iOS handset and I view each with a set of drawbacks and payoffs. The former (usually) allows you to unlock the boot loader without drawbacks and the latter does not. The latter is exclusive to a set of hardware. So if you want to have iOS you’re consigned to using the hardware deemed acceptable by Apple — but if someone were to accomplish “the brain dead take” a whole host of hardware would be available to you. There’s utility to that for some people.

Tbf, I did have a Lemmy user passionately argue Joe Rogan has never had a white supremacist on his show – I pointed at Alex Jones and my notif bubble was red for a few days there 😅

I’m not 100% off Reddit, I still venture over there for my WarHammer faction updates. But holy shit, I dipped my toe outside that circle recently and it’s a cesspool of anger.

Can confirm. I was able to replicate the behavior. Cheers

What reason would there be to enable notifications?

Weird, my Pixel 6a currently doesn’t have a persistent notification when I use Proton. Is this a GrapheneOS thing? Just curious.

Lmao, I’m a public servant and a developer. I make that choice every year.

Absolutely not.

True, but to my limited recollection it’s the right losing their minds more frequently. See Gamergate .

The M1 Mac book is my daily over Linux now. It’s a wonderful machine, it’s only concession is gaming can be a pain/not worth it. I like the “hobby” of it, but I know it’s not for every one.

Am vaper. I agree.Wouldn’t dream to obscure someone’s viewing of a show – much less while inside of a venue.

I prefer it to stoges, but even the ‘analogue’ of the habit was relegated to keeping us away from others. As it should be.

I suppose it is neither a taco or a sand which, however it lives within the sandwich family. What’s weird is if we take the inner radius as it runs towards zero it would look no different to a sandwich (save the weirdly thick bread that looks similar to a burger), but it would be topologically different shape.

I suppose it depends on if you consider a bagle split more naturally a sandwich or not, and, if so, then it matters if the if the space of the filling being connected matters or not.

Plus the Mac is a wee skiff in the open sea.

I’m in the same position. My Linux machine is for gaming and … Interesting tasks that could be hazardous to set up on my Mac.

The hardware quality is sublime as well. However, dailing Linux for a bit and going back to MacOS made me appreciate it more. Homebrew is a hair slow tho 😂

What’s your thoughts on Orion? It’s weirdly niche, but has been killer for me.

Holy god. I’m not letting go of my '09 carolla and ebike. What the fuck.

I work in a .net shop. It is a hair painful, to say the least, and I’m constantly looking over the fence longingly. They exist, are the minority, and are a fucking nightmare by comparison.

Now now, saying its useless is a hair strong. It works wonderfully for servers. As a work station it can be a bit of a mess keeping perfect pairity with each new, sprawling branch of tech and standards. Especially when it’s in a blind spot most people find convienent (looking at you webapps).

It may not work for you, and what’s the harm in having more options for the consumers!

However, the evangelizing I don’t understand.

I run Nvida and Linux pretty regularly. It takes an extra step, but if you aren’t using a card at, basically, release it should be fine. 🤷‍♂️

I mean, I can understand the spirit of what they were getting at. It is a bit exhausting that in the tech community gaming comes up all the damn time as a demerit in the MacOS/Linux space (while the later is pretty painless lately) as though its the majority usecase. Heck, many deem Macs as “useless” because they aren’t a target platform for gaming devs.

Calling gamers “whiny” is a touch harsh. Sure, buying a console makes sense for a good section of consumers. If they plan to buy a device that is only for gaming, is easy to use, and is relatively cheap I could get it. Especially since many game studios seem to focus on optimizing for consoles and don’t fill their titles with weird anti-piracy garbage on them.
