Windows realised that they hadn't locked in their users enough and hadn't built an ecosystem difficult enough to exit like the ego phone makers. My only hope is that they will fuck that up enough with their AI driven coding practices and agentic OS to drive more people to Linux.

In this thread:
- users rejoicing
- users who never donated a cent to krita or gimp shitting on it
As usual, the entitlement amongst users stays high.
Wich ones did you apply to? Just so that we don't recommend the same ones you've tried...
Yes, fight the symptoms by invading everybody's privacy instead of educating people and legislating against Facebook, reddit, and others.
This is the Christian way: the system isn't the problem, you are the problem. Addicted to drugs? Weak willed! Fat? Weak willed! Sick? God's plan, deal with it! Uneducated? WeAkWiLlEd!
In this thread: people who believe the myth of the safe C programmer. The one who has memorized the spec and is able to hold endless context in their brain while writing code. They themselves are C compilers.
Sure, if you compare it to a thinkpad for 1k. M1 Macbook pros cost how much when they were released? 2.5k? 3k? Of you're going to get reduced compilation times. But what exactly is it "paying of"? How is the calculation from time to money done?
"I can store so much stuff in my RAM, it'll pay back in 6 months". Such a random metric.
I learned to hate the Mac forced upon me for the time I used it, thank you very much. Fuck everything about those boots from the fruit store. Especially in a multi-architecture team, fuck macs.
That explains it, yeah. Companies of that size often aren't open for change unless it is top down.
Good luck with the fur trapping. Not sure if there'll be less bugs though ;)
I was told the same at multiple jobs and just asked kindly that they spend the money on a linux compatible laptop. I had arguments to back my statement up too. It worked out.
YMMV
Good luck (if you want to go down this path and haven't become a farmer yet).
Rght? "I want something shiny to write my code on because it makes me look cool and costs a lot " is not ether sign of seniority.
Just to spite you.
