@MK2boogaloo @histoire why is macOS for people who fear technology? It's literally Unixoid and they tech Unix at universities for computer science and similar.

@silas @histoire people who buy Macs for school must be braindead.
Regular Silas 🇩🇪

@MK2boogaloo @histoire yeah how dare they buy a mac for their iOS app developer degree the only platform you can write ios apps on

@silas @histoire more like, how dare them making software for ios.

@MK2boogaloo @histoire yea why would anyone ever make apps for the platform with like 90% marketshare in the US.

@silas @histoire everyone should stop torturing themselves.

@MK2boogaloo @histoire but I didn't mean it like that. As a tech mfer you either know Windows or Unix. And macOS is the winner of the Unixoid systems. Not Linux or bsd or whatever. Plus a lot of shit just doesn't work on Linux. So if your tech job requires some tools that only work on mac. There you go.

@MK2boogaloo @histoire plus the apple silicon chips are actually insane. Kinda sucks you can't do a hackintosh anymore. But I love that someone finally doesn't just use the bog standard Intel chips now. I hope the 90s with all the different architectures makes a return.. Kindof.. I dislike every single thing being x86

@silas @histoire so many silicon but no use of real life usage?

@MK2boogaloo @histoire yes real life usage. Mac has software dev and like music or video production tools. You show me how to run Final Cut Pro X on Ubuntu. I don't use that but it's an example.

@silas @histoire we have alternatives that ran quite good here. I don't know about music or video production but there should be plenty.
@MK2boogaloo @silas

I find it interesting that music and video production are *always* the examples

I know dozens of people that work with computers, and exactly one does video editing

@histoire @MK2boogaloo yeah well that's my example because I do video editing. And I really don't like kdenlive. But the programs I learned don't run on Linux. Olive still sucks. Davinci resolve for some reason I can't get to run..

Like what's the options then. I put up with kdenlive but I don't like it that much.

@histoire @silas oh yeah I forgot to point that out, just how many people exactly do that? Even in this niche part of the internet, I know only one guy doing that and he's @beardalaxy on irl it's like 3 at most? Other people only use the internet, looking through their pictures, watching movies, video games, and writing a document. Which all can be done within a single installation of Linux.

@MK2boogaloo @silas @histoire I will say that logic pro on mac is probably the best DAW (digital audio workstation) and I really wish I could use it on windows. That's the only thing it has going for it. Thankfully there are at least pretty good alternatives on windows.

As far as video editing goes I've tried a lot of different ones and the only one that actually does what I need it to is Corel lol. Not sure if it has a Mac version.

One of my roommates edits gaming videos from time to time, but I think he just uses some software that's included in overwolf or whatever. It's extremely simple. He makes anime edits on his phone too, somehow.

@MK2boogaloo @histoire yea. But those are alternatives. It's an alternative. If you go learn video production or like game design. Chances are you will use premiere and Photoshop and Unreal.

Almost no one is willing to relearn and entire job just because oh look it's GPL licensed.

No one gives a shit.

I think they should. I hate having a computer with closed source OS at home.
But no one Really cares.

@silas @histoire yeah but those people are not that many, people just want entertainment mainly. They don't need those things.
@silas @histoire winner? Linux definitely isn't perfect but it's so close, you can do anything and even more compared to windows and mac.

@MK2boogaloo @histoire yea winner. Because Software is a popularity contest. Architecturally haiku is better than any Linux, Mac or Windows. And like 7 people use it.

@silas @histoire I see, popularity huh? Alright, time to just go back to Windows and use Adobe software.

@MK2boogaloo @histoire yea Adobe won as well. You send someone the video you made in kdenlive and they won't pay you because they can't open the project.
