  • i see the downvote but you got to admit companies tend to follow whatever apple decides to do. Remember how we used to have headphone jack before apple removed it ? remember the numerous android phone with a big notch (pixel was the winner here) after iphone switched to faceid ? Remember the focus on privacy from google after apple made it’s pop up about not being tracked between apps ? I probably forgot others, but whatever succesfull (or not) apple does, other companies follow. always has been.

    M1 arm macbook have been a quite a hit for apple, very successfull. Guess what, it probably pushed competition to make their own, but they couldn’t because who the hell can make their own processor and then force almost the entire developper on their operating system to write software for it ? Even if we get arm windows laptop, good luck getting most of your software to run on arm. You’d be lucky to even get big ones like photoshop. everything will be run through translation layer, will sucks performance and battery.






  • i switched to android a few month ago, still can’t find a good enough pdf viewer, modern ebook reader, reminder app that is modern and syncs with whatever service i want (not only google). i mean stuffs that is preinstalled on every iphone and available for free. and people wonder why others buy iphone ?

    People buy iphone despite being it so locked down, expensive, hard to repair, having a thunderbolt port. because the alternative is even worst.

    but you can get an Android phone with similar specs for the same or less of a cost.

    i did the mistake of buying chinese xiaomi 12 phone, 100$ less than iphone mini but god this sucks ass. It’s awesome for the kid playing video game because of its processor watercooled whatever the fck but people who need simple phone to do work quick ? fck that.





  • Difference between macos and gnome is that apple has invested lot of money and extremely talented people, whereas gnome has much less people. I don’t mind not having customisation when everything is good enough, but not the case in gnome at all.

    Like the thing in finder where you type letter and instead of showing file starting with the letter it starts a recursive search. Or the giant top bar that has a barbone menu and serves almost no purpose. Apple put the app menu in there, makes sense.
