The other thing that keeps Apple in business is tech companies not wanting to fuck around with windows or Linux laptops. Linux systems run the world and MacOS is just plain better when it comes to interacting with those systems while also serving as a good user-facing operating system.

And before anyone says WSL, I was forced to use WSL for an engagement and anyone who tells you it’s viable is a lying or a Stockholm syndrome sufferer.

Your political narcissism is incurable. Enjoy fucking people over for your feels.

Did you vote for Kamala or did you allow Trump to take power?

NASA has contracted out basically all their rockets. We need spacex. Elon needs to be in jail. If only for threatening national security with this dumb move. Never mind being a Nazi and election interference.

They won’t achieve it and they’re going to sunk cost the global economy into a nosedive.

Restricting superior foreign cars worked for China.

Amazing.

Laptops. The M series is silly.

General Eisenhower definitely bombed some people.

Why would I celebrate stock buybacks?

Also spacex lost like 20 or so Falcons before their first successful mission. Maybe they will explode as many Starships, but they have hit that number yet.

It’s ok to hate Elon, and there are many valid criticisms to make regarding spacex, but they’re the best in the world right now and it isn’t even close.

The biggest issue with Spacex is that Elon needs to be removed before he ruins it like he ruined Tesla.

How has spacex had very few successes? Their Falcon 9 rocket is basically operating like clockwork. They launch more rockets than the rest of the world combined.

The starship failures are higher profile but even those failures are typical when testing new vehicles, especially one as experimental and complex.

SpaceX and Starlink basically have no competition, and if they did, said competitor would also need to be heavily subsidized.

This is the most defensible point. Designing APIs to determine what content on your screen is ok to send to a third party (Apple offers ChatGPT integration) is a decent amount of work.

Sure, here’s a station just for you.

They were running everything on a single rack during the first big rush.

I would argue Trump has great business acumen for exactly the reasons you describe.

He’s a mobster who got rich off strong arming, manipulation, and fraud.

Stop assuming his incompetence at being an evil capitalist billionaire and maybe people will finally accept that he is a highly capable amoral danger to the world.

No, but it is moral to disrupt Tesla’s supply chain.

MacOS owns the developer/sysadmin laptop market.

Nothing that involves authoritative state of data can be decentralized. Ultimately something is a source of truth. Who decides what the torrent data is? Congratulations, your system is now centralized.

Decentralized systems are anarchist mastubatory fantasy, distributed systems are what runs the world.

This is a neckbeard dream, and it is why activity pub will never take off.

Grandma ain’t running her own instance, but she can swipe her card and get “grandmahotstuff.com” tied to her ATproto DID.

As long as the did is maintained by a neutral org like let’s encrypt, and icann remains functional, it’s a superior model, as those orgs are now tied to the functioning of the internet itself.
