Windows: "works, but..."
Linux: "doesn't work, but..."

Windows makes you take it in the ass. One size fits all.

Linux lets you design the trode and control rate, length, and volume of ass penetration.

@Demolishun Mac: A beautiful penetrator that just works, but differently to all the other penetrators. No customization at all. Price: $4000.
If it doesn‘t penetrate, you are holding it wrong.

@Demolishun It doesn't just let you design it, there will be one vital component that you have to manufacture yourself, including mining the raw materials.

@donkulator but It's likely someone already manufactured it and now you can all share the same filthy penetration fix

Mac: “works”.

@kiki It works perfectly because working has been redefined as whatever it does.

@kiki but cost you 1 kidney and a mortgage for the next 5 generations

Speak about it. I lost my lappy and I put ubuntu.

What the actual fuck? Nothing's working the way it should. What the fuck is snap??? Even debian kinda suck. I want to be back on arch. I had ZERO issues.

@Lensflare I hate macs so much I actually left the one work gave me at my old place and told my landlord to fuck off.

. So I'm not seeing it back lmao

@Grumm I already challenged an Apple hater here to find a good MacBook Air alternative for the price spec-wise. He accepted defeat. Mostly because other lappys are stuck with active cooling while Air has passive

@kiki have you ever had to use xcode? I had to write a plugin for some mac stuff and basically required xcode. It's a broken piece of trash. Mac is the Windows/Linux hybrid. It's easy to install and get running if you've got a mac. The software is worst of both worlds.

@atheist yet iOS is so smooth and seamless that it cured my twitchy eye. 100% truth no kidding, I can tell you more

@kiki idk about the air but I still have to find something that was easier to do with my mac book pro than with my x270.

And it have proper usb and a sd slot. You can even put a simcard.

@kiki I agree, the software apple creates is pretty good, their dev tools however are utter trash.

I guess it should be:
Apple: "works, if..."
which fits pretty well with their walled garden mantra

@atheist dev tools though… I don’t use Swift, but I liked Simulator back when I was using react native. I see many people hating on Xcode, so maybe there’s something wrong there indeed

@kiki swift is pretty nice but it used to be that the standard library was only available on mac, I think that's got better but there's a lot of mac specific libraries that make swift nice but only on mac. Like they've got a full video library, only available when compiling on Mac. So cross platform swift loses a lot of its charm.

apple is a cult.

No shit. They bang each other. They live with each other. They only talk about apple shit and apple this and apple that. Their whole life is an ad for apple. They are awful shitty to each other, there's a lot of gossip and dark masses.

I know I worked there. They eat cats. Metaphorically

The objective c stdlib is pretty cool, it's what backs the swift stdlib on mac. The collection classes dynamically switch backend depending on size and expected performance characteristics. EG a set of 3 items is faster to linearly search a vector, so it'll switch that out.

@antigermgerm i replaced “Apple” with “Linux” and it reads exactly the same
