This meme is old enough to drink.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 month ago

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

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.

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.

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

If my experience in the heavy industry is any indicator, windows users believe that green crayons taste the best.

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.

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)

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

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@infosec.pub 7 points 1 month ago

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?

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 might be an idiot, but I'm not going to use a Mac.

This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

This meme has the logos of the OSs from around 2007. Back then there weren't many Linux non-IT users.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

I miss those old logos, the new ultra flat ultra simple logos are just so uninteresting compared to that era

This may be a hot take, but I don't think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn't. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.

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

Take that, flow chart!

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

[-] palordrolap@kbin.run 11 points 1 month ago

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

I would switch MacOS and Microsoft. You really have to be an idiot to install that malware onto your computer voluntarily. MacOS is much safer and if you still have the need for shenanigans you have a Unix terminal to play with.

One does not simply install windows. It comes preinstalled

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.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

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