I am self aware enough to know that I am an idiot, but still use Linux and Windows.

Take that, flow chart!

frankgrimeszz ,

Programmers I’ve worked with all prefer MacBooks. And yes, you can run Linux on a Mac too.

adespoton ,

I’ve used Mac OS since 1988, BSD/UNIX since 1990, Linux since 1993 and Windows since 1995.

Due to my expertise with all these operating systems, I make enough money to have a life.

I predominantly use Apple hardware, partly because I can easily run all these OSes on it.

The Intel “cheese grater” pros were a dream multi-boot machine. EFI, clean, capable of great RAM, nice drive bays, dual ethernet.

At least Mac is genuinely UNIX. 🙃

MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it’s a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that’s a thing that a lot of people do.

Given that’s actually the only way to do it… (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)

There is always a third really obscure way to do things

HStone32 ,

And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I’m going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.

SteveFromMySpace ,

several thousand dollars

You don’t need the latest and greatest to build smartphone apps.

The m1 Mac mini when it launched for about a solid 18-24mo was the single best deal at the time (largely due to the insane GPU price hike admittedly but still very powerful objectively for the price). Very weird to say that but honestly it’s true. The minis are still very robust for the price.

I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.

IllNess ,

MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.

Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

What is OpenCore?

I’m waiting for Linux support to come to iPads. I have an older iPad I would love to see Linux on.

dinckelman ,

I’ve switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it’s genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn’t run like a furnace, even under load

It is time to update this meme.

First question is “do you disagree with right to repair?”

And second “do you disagree with the right to privacy?”

HStone32 ,

I don’t think Windows user disagree with privacy per se. IMO, it’s more that they believe the lie that privacy is a myth, despite the fact it was had in abundance hardly more than a decade ago.

SteveFromMySpace ,

So you’re that generous with windows users but Apple users are anti-right to repair?

HStone32 ,

That’s certainly a conclusion to jump to.

I don’t have anything to say about Apple users, because I don’t know anything about them. I do however have things to say about Windows users, having been one my entire life up until a few years ago.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Fair enough just seemed like a pretty major omission. Should’ve asked though, my bad

SquirtleHermit ,

No! Always make assumptions! They make conversations faster!

SteveFromMySpace ,

HAHAHHAA APPLE BAD SUCH LEMMINGS HAHAHA IT’S 2010 AND I’M SO BRAVE

hydroptic ,

LOL ONE BUTTON MOUSE

SteveFromMySpace ,

Got i hated those lol never bought one

lengau ,

Wait I’m an idiot who has a life. Why am I on Linux?

palordrolap ,

I'm not sure there's a way to answer that without being unnecessarily mean.

lengau ,

Just call me a penguin fucker and get it over with…

But I can’t afford a Mac :(

Chromebook!

@bali10050@lemmy.world avatar

Buying a chromebook is like buying nearly expired milk because it’s cheaper as a lactose intolerant

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble ,

Buy more money.

You can just print more, dummy

adespoton ,

With an Epson, HP, Lexmark or Brother printer?

I sense another meme coming on….

SteveFromMySpace ,

Get a refurbished Mac mini

deegeese ,

This meme is old enough to drink.

Aurenkin ,

I tried to drink it but nothing happened? Maybe next year

SteveFromMySpace ,

Gotta drink the thermal paste

festnt ,

nah use it as toothpaste

Alexstarfire ,

You must have a Mac.

Aurenkin ,

Not exclusively, but yes. I feel called out.

IllNess ,

I was curious so I checked.

Aqua OS X logo is 2001-2007.

MS Vista - 7 Logo is 2006-2020.

Seems like you are correct it if the meme creator used the most recent logos at the time. So 17 or 18 years old.
