Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

~~Are you rich?~~

Are you bad with money?

[–] SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just because you're bad with money does not mean you can afford an Apple product.

[–] teegus@sh.itjust.works 40 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just because you cant afford an apple product doesn't mean you won't buy one (on credit)

Worth every penny IMO, MacOS is super nice and so is the hardware.

ARM compatibility is still shit. All actually useful desktop apps are still primarily x86-64, the compatibility layer Rosetta is hit or miss, everything is proprietary and expensive, and Apple decided the Pro model should only have 8GB for a shit ton of money. Apple is overpriced trash in the '20s.

I think this is the first time I've seen someone refer to the 2020s as the 20s. I've kind of been waiting for it.

Putting all my legitimate Apple/MacOS concerns/arguments aside, how can you declare a product as "Worth every penny" when you yourself have not used it for an extensive period of time? Attempted to integrate it into your workflow?
