That's kinda the point of the Mac though, you don't have to get the right distribution or deal with pedantry, you buy, take it home, open it and will run for 8-10 hours of work without charging. No distro issues.

But then you dont get Nvidia, 16gb, or 512 SSD.

And all you needed to do was know Fedora is SOTA. Once you know that, you don't need to change.

I don't think anyone that dismisses this really understands this. I've never had a laptop that could for more than about 3-4 hours doing dev work, but in 2014 I could get 8 hours of dev time out of an Air, and I can do that now on my M1 Macbook Pro.

For someone who is actually out and about all the time, this is life changing.

If you just sit with your laptop tethered at your desk all day, they why would you ever care?

Who cares about stars on Github???

"If dev null is fast and webscale I will use it"

"Does dev null support sharding"

Or the Victoria Hall disaster (183 dead), or Cocoanut Grove (492 dead), or The Station Nightclub (100 dead), or The Beverly Hills Supper Club (165 dead), or.....

Also in what world is a badge reader going to contain an armed gunman unless the walls, floors, doors, and windows are also bulletproof??

(Triangle shirtwaist fire resulted in 146 dead)

Theres footage online of a basic security door stopping an armed robber from escaping despite him trying to shoot the lock.

Bullets aren't universal door openers, and shooting your way through one lock doesn't magically unlock the next one.

And the bullets and time spent getting through the door are bullets and time that aren’t used harming the people behind that door.

I've volunteered at events hosted in older buildings before and it's always such a top of mind thing to enforce a limit on the number of people in the building at any moment. Since these places have the capacity to hold a lot more people than can escape through the exits in the event of a fire.

Didn't they kill the Mac desktop app last year?

The biggest impediment to the 14 points for most companies is *shareholders*

So I'm right to blame Slack for overloading an already existing shortcut??!? I've always blamed Slack, but I didn't know it actually was Slack that started this madness.

The problem with this pattern is that command-k was already a commonly used shortcut for creating a link, which meant that products like Slack had to find something new for making a link so they overloaded paste which is super broken as a result.

Yeah, it's a weird catch-22 for modern ag: don't use aggressive chemical herbicide and pesticides, but mechanical weed control has it's downsides too: with compacting that ground or erosion or use too much fuel.

I really wish they would scale back up and finish the fab in Ohio and bring it online sooner rather than later.
