Macs are the only reason I still use Apple stuff. My M2 Air is a legitimate beast of a laptop which, 18 months on still has an all day battery.
When they lock down macOS as much as they have ios, that's when I'm putting Linux on it.
I got my first iPhone in 2009. A 3GS. Since then I've had a 4S, 5, 6, XR, and 13 mini.
Two weeks ago I took delivery of a Google Pixel 9, onto which I immediately put de-Googled GrapheneOS.
16 years of iPhones, 18 years of Macs. My primary Mac is a 15" M2 Air, which, as soon as Apple drop macOS support for, will be getting Asahi and that'll be that. Apple are probably the least surprising, but certainly the most disappointing to me.
I just can't deal with big corps any more. They're all shithouse. All of them. Bit by bit I'm learning how to self host a bunch of tools that until now I've been paying for.
I dunno whether it counts: but that science has effectively cured AIDS.
In 2004, 2.1m people died from it. Twenty years later that figure was a little over a quarter at 630k. The goal for 2025 is 250k. I think that's absolutely remarkable.
As a child in the 80s I was terrified of AIDS. It made me low-key scared of gay men because the news made it sound like I could I could get it from any one of them. And here we now are, able to provide a medication that can almost completely ensure that you will never be infected by HIV.
Astonishing, really.
There's a county cricket ground near me that was named the Hampshire Rose Bowl when it was first opened 25 years ago. In that time it has been renamed a number of times in honour of a selection of insurance companies I'd never heard of before, but to pretty much everyone in the area it's the Rose Bowl.
So yeah.
It's possible to know about this while also knowing that extreme fuckery is occurring. But its not like your average Lemmy user can do anything to stop either.
There's a tiny part of me that's willing to allow that the people voting for him in 2016 just wanted to make their protests heard. Even though he was very, very clear who he is and what he stands for, people were struggling and made themselves heard in the shittiest possible way.
But the people who voted him in again, knowing exactly how it's going to shake out could all drop dead at once and I wouldn't shed a tear. Fuck every one of those cunts.

And a bunch of ads where its balls would be.
I have a similar rant with Docker.
On macOS there's a Docker app. You can use it to install stuff, see what it's up to, restart it and whatnot. On Linux you have to remember what commands you have to use in Terminal.
Why?!
There are loads of us out here who would appreciate a more user friendly way to use FOSS, but we're made to feel like fuckin noobs because we don't want to spend ages typing in commands when we could just press a couple of fucking buttons.
Anyway, apart from that I've been enjoying my adventures in Linux.

If you use Android, then this app uses spotdl. It's really handy.
