  • I recognize this may be a very autistic answer (i am)

    The function of a button is to be pressed, to put functionality on the bottom of a stationary device feels incredibly wrong. Thats really all there is to it.

    I can forgive a reset button being on the bottom because ideally they aren’t ever pressed and you definitely don’t want them accidentally pressed. I recognize that for macos a restart is usually a reset troubleshooting step and i would be probably be fine with it the button was renamed with an explanation on its actual usecase scenario.

    In any regards i feel like it makes much more sense on the back where the cables go in.

    I have nothing against apple besides the general capitalist/consumerism stuff. I hate google and meta much more.




  • You can accurately preach best usecases all you want it falls flat before peopled experience.

    I always shutdown my desktop. So did i with all my previous desktops.

    Ive always shut down every windows/linux laptop i ever had.

    I shut down my android tablet after use.

    I owned and mainly used a MacBook pro for 5 years, i never shut it down, i never shutdown my iPhone. It was also ironically the best windows laptop i had owned at that point (in dual boot) and i always shut down when i worked in Windows, just never in macos

    Apple did not tell me to do this, it is not difficult to shutdown a mac, no one told me to change what i am used to. It just somehow made the most sense so thats how i used it. And i reverted naturally when i ent back to non apple desktops. I cant explain it better then that.

    This does not excuse having a power button on the bottom, thats just ridiculous. Just a hint that what your saying about downsides is irrelevant to how people realistically use it.



  • Honestly the only people worried about learning a new OS are people that have not even tried another OS for longer then 15 minuts in the last few years.

    The desktop is still a desktop so is the taskbar.

    The mouse works like a mouse, browser works like a browser and the majority of apps these days are browser apps.

    The single actual difference i can think off is that rather then downloading an exe you use something similar to an appstore if your non technical or the command line if you don’t.

    And if you are just a little technical you can acutely download that exe and install/run it just fine. (Wine)



  • I can only speak for myself that i am very motivated to work for the sake of growing humanity as long as my primary needs are unconditionally met.

    The work week would be gone for me and personal/work projects would blend more into one. There will be weeks where i am working around the clock to Finnish a project because i am passionate about them. And weeks where i just lay in bed because i feel off.

    Each according to their needs and abilities. The best coworker is a motivated and mentally healthy one.


  • Yes and no.

    I absolutely hate capitalism.

    But i also hate mondays so bad i have gone out of my way to find a work structure allowing me to skip mondays every week.

    Now Tuesday is my monday and while i dont hate Tuesday itself and i no longer hate the day that used to be monday i do hate the Monday part of my Tuesday because capitalism is still dictating my work hours and i hate it.





  • Its not like i am naive to economy but i cant help but see this:

    Ape spends time and energy to convinces other apes to spend time, energy and resources, potentially sacrifice some of the environment and cause hinder to the local population. To dig for a metallic object discarded a decade ago so they can with some hope extract a codestring of information which will unlock some other strings of 0 and 1 that we then collectively agree on means this person has x many digital object which we all agree on has x economic value.

    And if they succeed they will al smile because this is winning.

    Here is sm either more radical/normal, depending on your perspective. Take the drive that has the wallet/or make it a physical one. Place it in a museum and name it “x Bitcoins”. Value recovered and nothing was lost.

    Humans are weird.
