  Huh. Thanks. Once this macbook of mine goes old enough I will then try this for funsies.

  What Linux do you run and is it great? Now you are making me think I should plonk more money into a macbook once this macbook is too old and run both Mac OS and Linux.

  Framework is a great hardware. I like their vision.

  Disclaimer: Macbook user here.

  Its okay for a lot of things. And its great for people who don’t expect much. But for power users, the moment you start installing stuffs for QoL or for more functionality, its there and then (the lack of RAM) really makes one want to bite the fingernails. I’m running 24GB, but even then my memory pressure is on yellow and i’ve “offloaded” a lot of stuffs into Ferdium (as that was the only reasonable way of maintaining certain things).

  But for those who use on the web stuffs for almost everything, a macbook is a much better chromebook, and it works really well for those who don’t want to fiddle with anything.

  But that price though. If Macbooks were priced lower (especially the RAM and storage upgrades) I think there will be a huge uptick of people buying the M-CPU Macbooks.

  Macbooks are okay. It’s the price that makes it very difficult to swallow.

  For light tasks, and non power users I can see why a Macbook is the next best thing after sliced bread. However to a power user with a lot of stuffs installed the Macbook can be frustrating if not on a better spec machine.

  But also, sometimes mac users can be… Off putting to say it nicely.

  Oh I suffer from that daily. Yeah it’s very annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hulu quizzing about the ads played⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL, I know, right. It’s just downright dyatopian

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hulu quizzing about the ads played⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not if you have control over the hardware and firmware. But I suppose open sourced versions will happen one way or another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hulu quizzing about the ads played⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Somebody better tell Sony about this. I’m sure they want to cash in from their patent being infringed.

  :p /s

  The dreaded future of advertising is here. Next step, in your face as you do your daily stuffs.

  Yeah I read the entire Wikipedia entry on the Byford Dolphin and I almost threw up because how vivid the description is. I think this would be my third time saying this but that’s not a nice way to go (to die) at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's in trouble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I read about it. Definitely not the nicest way to go.

  Wouldn’t this human in theory become a crumpled sausage like what happened to the crab by the leaking underwater pipe?
