Until your tv turns the internet connection back on without your consent. Some are even connecting to your neighbors tv to share WiFi and update themselves in order to avoid blocks at router level.

There is a story. Is it the best? No. But it exists and isn’t as bad as it’s generally stated.

That’s so great that a computer that old is usable instead of being binned.

You could do it on your current one. No reason to wait. I’m going strong with Linux as my primary OS for 3 years.

Mine is remapped to Ctrl since I use that way more often.

I guess lemmy is big enough for shills now.

My experience is not the same as yours.

1. Screen share issues: I’ve never experienced this. I screen share often and have for years without issues.

2. Package manager: homebrew and Mac ports exist and work well. Both apple and Microsoft have their app stores but they’re not package managers. That’s common on linux, but it doesn’t hamper installing from a central place like home brew.

3. Docker: you’re probably referencing the cpu architecture change and having to run in compatibility mode. That’s not an issue anymore. Docker containers can be built for multiple targets, and even older ones running via a translation layer work even if it’s not optimal.

I’m not trying to minimize your experience, but it is not indicative of what the average developer on a Mac will experience.

The one annoyance I can agree with is having to download a new version of Xcode whenever the OS is updated.

I’ve used windows and I abhor it for development work personally. If I could get a Linux machine at work I would, but corporate management software is not in the same state on Linux as it is for other systems.

I write code on a Mac and I disagree with you vehemently. It’s way better than windows.

None. I’ve been windows free for over 3 years. Had to give up some software for alternatives. Switching from Lightroom to Darkroom wasn’t difficult, though it’s not as polished.

Dunno if Autocad is a major dependency for your job, I use freeCAD instead and it works. Of course there will be differences and you’d have to relearn how to do things.

Have fun! Whatever you do, if you run into an issue you can’t solve, stick with it. You’ll learn and become better over time.

I’ve been gaming on Linux for about 3 years now and it’s been great. Had some hiccups here and there but they were solved with some searching.

YouTube made more money than Disney in 2925. Tell me why unskippable ads are justified.

I second backblaze. Switched to them about 5 years ago when AWS and GCP were charging me $20-30 for storing my backups. The same backups cost $5-7 on backblaze.

I don’t. But my boss is pressuring me to do so because his boss and above are asking for all engineers to use it. The most I use it for is the occasional bash scripting semantics. I prefer not to use it in my daily work.

Formerly Google domains, now owned by squarespace. It costs $13 a year for a .rocks domain.

I’ll just leave you with my experience.

I used to be obese. During the pandemic I started tracking my food intake via one of the many apps. It helped me lose about 60 pounds. I was more fit, liked the way I looked a lot more, and also took up biking as a form of exercise.

Fast forward a few years, and I gained a lot of the weight back. I’m not as heavy as I once was, but I’ve got about 40 pounds to lose now. Started dropping weight again by tracking my food intake religiously.

Vomiting or pooping will not help you. Start by evaluating the food you keep in your house. Get rid of any temptations like cookies or chips. Make a meal plan and learn how to cook at home. Look at a food tracking app (I use Cronometer at the moment), and start to track every thing you eat. If you can keep your daily calorie intake at a deficit of 500 you WILL lose weight at a rate of 1 pound a week.

Weight loss is a sustained goal, and you should be prepared to make long term lifestyle changes and stick to it. It’s not an easy thing to do but you can do it.

Apple didn’t have a stylus, but there were third party styluses with rubber tips available. It worked well for its time.
