I’m ignorant about that, care to elaborate?

Isn’t Eugen Rochko the owner of Mastodon? Isn’t he and his company responsible for what happens to it?

I once used a vertical monitor at work and people thought it was wild. A tilted monitor would cause a full blown riot at my job, and I don’t want blood in my hands.

This, aside from sideloading, would make me actually consider an iPhone.

Weak effort at trolling, chap. Very weak.

Now that’s a condescending shit talk. They may like their job, they could be working behind the scenes to try and contain the damage. They could be doing the best they could do with the little power they had. You try to speak against your boss alone and trash the industry you’re in, see how well it goes for you.

I don’t get the hate, I’ve been there for a year and the place is pretty cool with many writers and artists that aren’t on Mastodon. It feels like twitter on the good days. Maybe if you curate your friend list better you would get a better timeline?

Light bridges and Light sabers, let’s go!

This could be the real “pro” iPhone. Running m3, acting as a phone by itself and throwing a full macOS with Office and Adobe Cloud apps when docked.

You know what’s funnier? English isn’t my mother language, because I’m not American. But hey, what do I know?

Anything that’s not Ubuntu, because it’s the “mainstream Linux”, so guaranteed I’ll find anything I need there.

A Galaxy Book 360 that runs cold and has great battery life would be perfect. I need photoshop and illustrator on a Windows machine that runs as well as a Macbook, I don’t care about gaming with an ultrabook.

Ah yes, the good ol’ extortion system: “Nice data you have here, it would be a shame if something happened to it.”

“Yeah they’re nazis but hey, they bring the money in. Why should I ban them?”

I disagree: elementary is quite limited with really basic desktop features out of the box, limited personalization, weird interface decisions with some ugly panels, and pretty behind on updates, relying heavily on their own walled gard-

You know what? You’re right.

Threads content completely dominate other activity pub clients. Other clients / communities could get dependent on it. Then Meta is basically a drug dealer with leverage.

How? Because this doesn’t make an yota of sense to me.

Flipboard federated. Are you flooded with news from them?

Agreed, seems like your use case is different than mine. Thanks for the reply, merry Christmas!

No because the price for RAM on the windows side is way cheaper than on the Mac side.

It could be a year or two until failing, who knows. People that do heavy video and audio edits tend to wear those drives faster than everyone else due to the high number of reads and writes. Also, how many times can you swap the machine under warranty? And how many years do you intend to keep yours? A repair out of warranty may be the cost of a new machine, and those are really expensive, not to mention the downtime you’ll have to get the swap done.

Mine, a top of line Dell notebook with 32Gb of RAM and 2Tb SSD, lasted about ten years of heavy audio and video work, with a quick and cheap SSD swap in between to keep it going. Easy repairs and little downtime is pretty important to me, but that’s just me.

Those are just factors that I think should be considered, and I saw a bunch of colleagues that did not thought about it, and sailed through rough spots waiting their machines to be fixed. It may be your case, or may be not.

The thing about used macbooks is that you don’t know if the drive is trashed. If the SSD dies, it will take the whole machine down, and you can’t even boot with an external drive because the “Bios” is stored on the SSD. So the machine is bricked.
