I look forward to seeing you develop an inferiority complex around my posts as well
how sad. it’s been 2 weeks, and you let something like this still bother you. clearly, I’m not the one with the “complex"
we watched him do this shit for 4 years 3 years ago, and they’re “stunned” about this now???
they knew. they always knew. that’s why they went into business with him. this objection is purely performative so they can take his dirty money while trying to stay clean.
but they’re still just as dirty
I couldn’t even imagine—
imagine mid-80s Apple with Steve Jobs constantly screaming at you after you’ve worked 75 hours without sleep, except you’re NOT working on anything revolutionary, you’re getting paid shit, and you’re practically alone in the office because everyone else got laid off. also, everyone on earth hates you except a select cadre of nazis who spend most of their time fellating Elon on the platform you’re barely able to keep running.
FUN!
macOS is actually pretty awesome. lots of FOSS people don’t like it simply because of Apple and because of how Apple tends to be a bit overbearing when hit comes to how it likes to do things. macOS has limited customizability, for example, which is something linux users like to go bonkers with. I get it. but there are still ways to do what you want regardless. lots of hacks and stuff.
But it’s the most widely-used and most commercially-successful distribution of UNIX in the consumer space, and the only one still around in any meaningful way. Apple managed to bring UNIX to the masses and to scale it from smartwatches to servers where others failed for decades, all in one, unified ecosystem of software and hardware products. Yes, Apple’s control over that ecosystem is too much for some to bear on philosophical grounds, but those objections usually turn out to be mostly symbolic when put to practical tests.
The other main objection is that Apple products tend to be in the “premium” range of pricing and are “anti-consumer” in that they’re difficult or impossible to repair or upgrade. Those are valid criticisms, however they affect a very tiny sector of users, so make what you will of that.
Note: Linux, currently, cannot run on Macs with Apple Silicon processors. great efforts are underway to make linux compatible with the processor, and AFAIK, the linux kernel itself runs on the AS processors, but the project hasn’t gotten much farther than that, being stuck on untangling the display adapter or something. The effort is, however, ongoing and should, hopefully soon, see a fully-compatible AS linux kernel with compatible AS linux builds n the near future.
True! I am still going to college and the school I will be transferring to requires a MacBook so I have to get one anyway.
I’m pretty sure you’ll like it, a hell of a lot more that Winblows anyway. like I said, macOS is UNIX (which linux was made to emulate), so they’re interoperable and have very similar architectures under the hood. macOS is defiantly different in its Apple-y ways, but still plays very nice with linux systems and also supports many linux software ports. There’s also a macOS command-line package manager called Homebrew that’s used to distribute many of these crossover software packages.
Does Mac OS have the same issues as Windows where settings change each update?
NO! macOS updates very rarely (if ever) break things, even with the legendarily persnickety Adobe apps, mostly because Adobe apps don’t have to hack shit in order to run on macOS, because macOS isn’t a dumpster fire of an OS like windows is.
Wine will suck ass with Premier, if it works at all. There ARE reasonable alternatives to use in Linux, unlike with PS or Illustrator.
PS in Linux is… ok…. depending on what you’re doing with it. if it’s basic stuff, you’ll get by. start delving into big boy stuff, and it struggles. Illustrator… I doubt it. I’d stick with a VM for both for major workloads until you really need bare-metal performance. This is something you will have to feel out for yourself.
seems we were both wrong:
the number were adjusted down after several instance owners culled large numbers of inactive and spambot accounts
ex-user, ex-owner, ex-subcriber...
it means you compete as an independent, neutral entity and not under your country’s flag so your country gets zero recognition for any achievements, only the individuals.
“experiment”… lmao, as if we didn’t all know exactly what would happen if Musk bought twitter, what he would turn it into. Sure, he may surprise us with the absurdly stupid and petty ways he’s doing it, but the end result is still precisely what we all knew he’d do.
True. Once Twitter started ass-raping users for API access, reddit got the same dumb idea, and voila! millions of people flooded over to lemmy.
his shittiness is contagious
[ COMMUNITY UPDATE ] New Mod, Update to Community Guidelines, and More! - 2023-08-07
Hello! I'm u/bauhaus and I've just joined the mod team here in the c/StarTrek community! I look forward to fostering discussion, and growth in a fun, active community of Star Trek fans!
I've added a new community icon and banner, and I've also updated the sidebar with a set of rules for posting and commenting. Most are pretty self-explanatory, however there are a few that I'd like to go through for the sake of clarity and to help set the tone.
On civility and mutual respect
We're all here becaue we're fans of Trek, and it's expected that everyone who comes here is coming hee to read about and discuss the shows, films, and related media, as well as the subjects they address. Since Star Trek often addresses sociopolitical issues as metaphor for contemporary issues in our society - issues which affect all of us - these discussion can ebcome passionate, even emotional. People may have conflicting views and even disagreements.
In the monents of passion, it's important that we remain civil and respectful of our community members and of the community itself. While you're free to disagree, assholery will not be tolerated. This ALSO includes saying unkind things about other Trek communities-- we're here to discuss Trek, not them. Such behaviours could result in the removal of the offending post/comment, and repeated offenses could result in a 2-3 day ban. Another thing which won't be toleated EVER is bigotry of any kind. Either of these can (and likely will) result in an immediate permaban.
If you see other users trolling, baiting, or just being bullies, don't engage. Just flag the post/comment and we mods will take care of it.
On the subject of critical discussion
In some other Trek subs, as it had been on Reddit, expressing negative opinions about characters, shows, etc. is fobidden by some unwritten rule and can get your comments removed and can get you banned without warning.
That's not the case here.
We can't have open, honest discussions about Trek unless we acknowledge both the good and the bad, however going on huge rants and tangents is counterproductive and toxic and won't be tolerated here, either. Keep comments relevant to the post and try to be constructive in your criticism. Saying, "X sucks balls!" isn't helpful, but saying, "X lacks character depth and could be improved by Y," is a much better approach which invites further discussion. Keep in mind critique vs crticism and the spirit of forstering open discussion of a topic, as this is not the place to simply come and vent your frusrations. Moderating on these lines is going to be difficult, and this rule may undergo some tweaking depending on how things go. We will be transparent about that, but, as long as eveyone is civil, we don't forsee too many problems. Keep in mind Rules 1-4.
On the subject of canon and what consitutues "real Star Trek"
CBS/Paramount/Whomever owns the IP rights decides what's canon and "Real Star Trek", not you or me or this community. That's not up for debate here. This is a subject that many hold in their hearts with the blazing passion of infinite Big Bangs, but it's not a matter for discussion here. EVER. Nothing good can ever ome from it, so it's simply not permitted. It's settled; move on.
That's all for now, but we welcome any feedback from the community you may have in the comments.
I look forward to engaging with you all!
interesting rationalization for your toxic, rage-bait ramblings. I recommend you consult a medical professional, as they would be better-equipped to help you with your… problems…
best of luck!
