    No one should buy a laptop with every single fucking component soldered on. Fuck Apple and every company that does what they do. Get yourself a Framework laptop or one from an actual Linux vendor like System76, Tuxedo, Starlabs…etc. That way you’re able to upgrade your shit down the road when you need to. Apple shit is you get what you get.






  • They tried to make it with “respecting privacy” and all that shit that they never really cared about yo to begin with and was just bullshit to try to get people to switch over. Now, they’re going the other route where they’re just another data mining platform like YouTube. Use Tubular. It’s a frontend for YouTube without the bullshit. You just can’t sign in and comment. Or you can use GrayJay. It connects to several platforms at once, like YouTube, rumble, Odessy…etc











  • It’s not hatred, but I grew up in a 3rd world country where computer teaching didn’t exist until I got to college, and even then, it was one 30 minutes class a week. I didn’t even know many shortcuts and key combinations until I got to the US back in 2010. I’d never known that a shift key would do such things. All I knew was capslock is to make letters caps. I guess my brain was wired differently in this regard. I’m 42 now and I’m still catching up on a lot of things I’ve missed out on in my young days. I’ve just now gotten a job as a programmer literally 2 weeks ago (the irony of not knowing how to use the shift key, right?) I’m still learning about computers. I started using Linux back in 2018 and I’m still learning about it. Thanks to Linux, my learning process has been sped up a lot. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, and I hope that that answers your question. Lol
