Neat

So being recommended videos is bad now? Dam

It’s more user friendly in a thousand minor ways, such as installing programs, which makes it much more user friendly overall. At least MacOS has a consistent UI that doesn’t massively change every single update

Gotta disagree, the gestures are actually amazing. Only pain point is gaming, but I don’t really do that, and the dev experience is pretty good compared to windows too. Installing programs is as easy as it should be on windows. Fuck msi installers

That’s kinda the point

Oh man, the absolute horror of being told about new features! The absolute abject tragedy!

It occurs to them, but sometimes you just don't want to.

… They mean that you’re supporting free speech by disabling and block and supporting them

See the thing is I'm fine with it because I know my parents wouldn't have spied on me 24/7. If they were helicopter parents and DID check where I was every hour of the day I wouldn't be fine with it.

Donations don't work by themselves. Pretty much ever.
