Cheerleading for brands is cringe

kameecoding@lemmy.world 10 months agoYeah, now he can work all day on battery instead of having to carry around a charger because the shitty ass laptop is out of battery in 2 hours somehow, depite being much slower than the macbook

Idk if this is a joke but Linux is not a brand.

Technically, yes it is. It’s a registered trademark at the very least.

Yeah, it’s not a brand man. That’s part of what makes it great. A brand is something created to profit off of, which always ends up worse for the end user. Linux is not there to make profit. It’s whole purpose of existing is to serve the user.

Espousing this cooler-than-thou nonsense about a non-brand is at least as cringe as jocking a brand

It fits the definition of a brand.

linux isn’t a brand though, it’s a lifestyle and a religion if you go far enough.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 10 months ago
This is honestly one of the most insulting things I’ve ever heard said about Linux users, and it’s so accurate.

Stating facts is cheerleading?

Just saying, if you had spent as much on a laptop as you did on a MacBook, you would get a full work days of battery.
It’s the same failure point apple fans have about Android. Yeah there are cheap androids. They suck, but also they cost$100-$200 new. What’s apples offering in that price range?
vala@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Realistically with the new apple M-series stuff this is just not the case. The battery life is absolutely nuts. Especially compared to high end Linux laptops.

I’m actually pretty happy with my ~$200 Motorola G32.

Lol, nope, you are deluding yourself.

Facts about why you should pay more to an unethical company for a use case that doesn’t exist smells like a sales pitch to me.
kameecoding@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Ah yes, unethical company, as opposed to an Ethical company like who? Asus who was just caught overcharging their customers on RMAs?
HP? The most evil printer manufacturer on the planet?
Keep in mind my first choice, Framework did not sell in my country at the time, still might not.
Not having to have battery anxiety is not a sales pitch, it’s just good stuff, if you’d have a software developer job, you could maybe understand

Uh, work? Sometimes I’m in meetings all day in different rooms at my company, and I really don’t like bringing my charger around. So that’s 8 hours, and I’ll be running a lot of stuff in the background, which absolutely drains my battery life.
I also like using my laptop at airports when traveling, and finding a charger can be a royal pain. I’ve had multiple occasions when my laptop battery died and I just couldn’t use it, and I get something like 3 hours battery life (which is pretty decent for a laptop).
I also WFH 3x/week, so it’s not uncommon for me to work from the couch or walk around the house when on boring calls all day.
I’m plugged in most of the time most days, but exceptions do happen, and it’s nice to not have to worry about battery life. I hope this anecdote helps.

Oh wow thats so cool, Apple should introduce a way to trade in vital organs to make it more accessible to people of your capacity.
kameecoding@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Not cool, just basic useability

Hey man, if you find yourself with a Very Serious Opinion after reading one of these, you should maybe say it out loud in a room by yourself instead of posting it as a comment. This has nothing to do with whether you’re right or not. Nobody wants Serious Opinions underneath their jokes, and you will be much happier when you learn this.

Wow your comprehension on this subject is just profound. Really really clever. Your parents must be so proud. That little guy simping for a big powerful corporation.
Go read up on the subject
kameecoding@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I don’t care about the corporation, if microsoft was making the M2 microsoft book I would buy that, problem is, nothing in my experience is close enough to the macbooks, I wish it was, I would have loved to save some money.
I will buy framework if they start selling in my country by the time I need a new notebook.

word on the street is that you should try linux, it’s pretty good.
kameecoding@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Lol, you really think I dont use linux?
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
statistically, it’s pretty likely that you don’t so… It was a safe bet.

Right, I never hear people singing the praise of apple and then discussing their fave Linux flavor
Acters@lemmy.world 10 months ago
If you wanted this, you don’t need a dam apple laptop, but at the same time, the closest competitor is the new snapdragon laptops that are closer to having up to a week of battery life. Also, they are capable of running more than you can on an apple machine, albeit it is early progress in proper x86 emulation, and more productivity programs are starting to support it.
So, no, you are NOT forced to make a decision to get a MacBook and the price gouging you experience.
Even then, picking a device for your use case is extremely important. I know many people who can survive with lower powered devices as they only use it for web browsing or documents like Excel or Word. Which an apple device would work well for but seriously is complete overkill and overpriced for.
