  • I have not heard the fans once in over a year of heavy use, I’m starting to doubt they exist. Fan noise is a far more prevalent issue with Windows machines so I’m very curious to know how you’ve managed to convince the fans to spin up at all, let alone at a high volume.
  • No window snapping is a glaring omission, but easily resolved with a 3rd party app.
  • Fortunately as a programmer I hardly use Finder, but yes it’s not very intuitive.

  I could list fifty problems each with Windows, Mac OS and Linux, but am comfortable enough with all of them because I adapt to their weaknesses (the ones that can be adapted to anyways).

  I am a kind of laptop addict. I sell and purchase laptops every 6 months or so. I’ve tried everything on the Windows side, and have had the most beautiful machines in my possession, but they all had some critical flaw that made me look at my work laptop (Macbook Pro M1) and think… “I get it”

  They currently have a monopoly on the best computing experience, that’s why it costs so much. The developer experience is 10 times better than Windows, but it’s doesn’t suffer the lack of software support that Linux does. It has the best battery life BY FAR of any laptop, which is important to people like myself who find themselves working on trains and planes. And the overall build quality and performance is so good that it can be resold 5 years later for 75% of the original price.

  100% 👍👍👍 the BBC did a great docu-series on Raynd. If you’re wondering what it is that you can’t quite put your finger on about her work, it’s that she’s utterly miserable. A person whose geat intellect can’t even make them joyful is a person whose intellect has turned against them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The core issue is soil quality. Without sufficient organic content in the soil, all our food, whether it be plant or meat, has drastically reduced nutritional content meaning we need to consume more for the same effect. We’re heading for a global food shortage because of the one key issue. Healthy soil also sequesters an enormous amount of carbon from the atmosphere. So instead of fighting the beef vs tofu wars, we should be focusing on encouraging agricultural practices that enrich soil rather than destroy it. We have about 50 years of crop cycles left before the majority of arable earth turns to sand.

  Shifting your diet to be more plant-based is a good idea, but it’s not the crux of the issue.
