From my perspective, the Fediverse is full of people who think Biden is the greatest president ever, that we should stay locked down in our houses for the rest of our lives, that everything should be free or provided by the government, and that if you disagree with anyone on anything, you’re automatically a Trump supporter and a Nazi. (I don’t like Trump or his cult, btw.)

I do have a PC with Linux, but I can see where you’re coming from. Unfortunately, Linux isn’t for everybody.

Ice Cubes, Mammoth, and Mona aren’t on this list either. Ice Cubes is the app that got me to actually use Mastodon regularly.

Then I’d recommend saving the money and getting the Air.

The Apple devs are probably lucky enough to not have to deal with snow.

Depends on which MacBook Pro you’re talking about.

If the MacBook Pro you’re talking about is the 13 inch model with the touch bar, then get the Air, but if it’s the model with the M1 Pro or Max, absolutely go for that. Besides a faster chip, the 14 and 16 inch models have a better port selection, screen, and speakers.

However, the model with the touch bar is essentially the same computer as the Air but more expensive.

I have a 16 inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip and it’s still a beast.

If it’s any consolation, the owner of Squabbles, the site a ton of people praised during the Great Rexxit because Lemmy is too confusing, changed the name to Squabblr and fired all the other admins because he doesn’t believe in hate speech.

I had three accounts at one point, but lately I’ve only been using this one. The first instance I tried could never see any content because it was small. I then joined lemmy.world, and I could see plenty of content… when it wasn’t down. But this instance seems to be working well for me.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the active user count could have been explained by people trying different instances.

News for nerds. Stuff that matters.

Apple’s cases have been trash for a while now. I made the mistake of buying one for my iPhone 11 in 2019, and it started chipping at the corners immediately after I bought it, without me even dropping it.

You could always join wayland.social

Came here to say this. ChatGPT is very good at coming up with convincing bullshit. Always do your own research.

Web devs never learn.

Chrome is the new IE.

The popular choice isn’t always the best one.

Maybe the Linux version was ahead of Mac and Windows in 2008. It was already crap then. lol

Really? I always hated it. It was such a resource hog compared to Firefox, and that only got worse as Firefox improved.

My main Linux distro at the time, Fedora, wouldn’t even ship Chromium because of how difficult and inefficient it was to package. It leaves a bunch of Google crap on Mac too.

Was it better on Windows or something? Because it’s always been crap on Linux and Mac.

I do think they know these companies are invasive, but they don’t fully understand the ramifications of it, nor do they care to.

Yeah, people knew enough to ditch IE for Firefox, but I think Google’s marketing convinced everybody that Chrome was the best. Most people tell me they use Chrome because it’s the fastest.

I actually never stopped using Firefox. I tried Chrome/Chromium on and off since it came out in 2008, but I never understood the appeal. Chrome looks more minimal, but it always ran like crap on Linux and Mac for me. Was it better on Windows or something? The constant memes about Chrome’s RAM and CPU usage would lead me to believe it isn’t.

Yeah, from what I understand, he said he was going to buy it, then changed his mind, then the shareholders sued him because I guess there was a tentative deal.

Just shows me that Elon doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, so spez looks up to him now? Yeah, I’m lost too.
