Guy in the bathroom stall: … I use Mac!
Guys and gals pissing in the hallway, lobby, parking lot, bushes, behind the building and inside the office: … we use windows 11!
He thinks it’s a bathroom stall, but he’s actually shitting in a box with no doors
Except he’s the box and Microsoft is taking the shit
Mac users shit outside, in a walled garden.
It’s nice out here though.
Mac isn’t really a walled garden in the sense iOS is without jailbreak. You can install unsigned code out of the box, have similar Admin privileges as on windows (but not as powerful as a superuser on Linux), and it integrates very well into an otherwise non-Apple household. You can use quickshare with android phones or windows PCs instead of using apple airdrop for example, which is something iOS users can only dream of
I prefer hackintosh over Linux on my Thinkpad, even though battery life is slightly worse (but still way better than it was out of the box with windows)
There is su on MacOS, I just didn’t ever need it for the kinds of dev work I did.
It runs bash(or zsh) and most of the rest of the things you’d use in a dev environment and (before docker was so popular) it was pretty easy (maybe 15-20 minutes from scratch with makes) to set up a new Mac to mimic a Unix server environment for local dev work.
Yeah, I meant unlike with Linux you can’t change certain core functionality of your OS. Stuff like just entirely replacing the window manager for a different one. You can do a lot of powerful stuff with kernel extensions, but even those are limited (and apple made it a lot more complicated to install kernel extensions on Apple Silicon compared to how it worked on Intel Macs)
Yeah I meant to exclude those types of OS level changes, good point.
I quit web dev before Apple silicon took over (I bought one of the last intel laptops because I’m a Luddite about losing my old apps and weird projects.
Wow that guy on the left actually stopped mid-stream. That’s dedication.
Gotta let them know!
Who says he stopped
I don’t know what either of those are, and stop talking to me while I piss.
Fattest, loneliest, smelliest, basement livingest mofo this world has ever seen:
Struts up.
Squeezes right between.
Forces them to the adjacent urinals.
Adjusts glasses taped together.
Clears voice through braces that should have been removed years ago.
In an authoritative weezy voice.
I use LFS by the way.
And then they touch weiners and let the streams cross!!
I use debian bt… ouch. my laptop keyboard is burning my fingers because I’m too stupid to install the correct drivers and my laptop has started overheating.
That’s a feature though
And thus spacemacs was born
(No, really)
The alt text is always good. Too many words to copy and paste.
But think of the children!
