Restraint won't make the unpredictable gamma ray burst or unstoppably-sized asteroid go away.

Yep. It's amazing to see how quickly people start denying reality when they don't like someone's beliefs/behavior.

I could acknowledge that a hypothetical smart, woke, furry, trans, porn-addicted programmer that regularly makes great FOSS contributions is intelligent and capable while still disliking their beliefs/behavior.

Separate the "art" from the "artist."

This is definitely the best option. Community search blocklists, like uBlock Origin

Incorrect, he led a recruiting battle for Ilya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nORLckDnmg&t=75s

IANAPNA either, but a solid object like a planet blocks light differently than dust clouds. Dust clouds, even dense ones, still allow some wavelengths through that planets do not. I would guess that's what allows them to be confident that it's a planet.

Huh...

I just realized I can start using IANA phonetically as a word.

Iana

I like that

Not when they've replaced every customer-facing position. Oh and all teachers.

depends on if you're a black or white hat hacker. black hat hackers absolutely go around hurting people

Why would Israel have to do anything? With the flagging system, even if there's just a minority of pro-Israel users anything anti-Israel is now effectively banned.

Like the other replies are saying: you're in a bubble, like most Apple users.

MacOS needs third party apps to not be incredibly frustrating, and often the apps are subscription based. (Window management, clipboard history, and power management are the big ones - even if you go with a free option like I do, it's not good that the base OS is missing essential features in these areas.) There are many little annoying things that can't be easily disabled, like Apple Music launching every time you connect your bluetooth earbuds. There are incredibly bizarre UX choices, like not having "pin" in Finder be a right click option.

As for development, Windows + Powertoys can do everything MacOS can better, plus game (and game dev). For anything Linux I can use WSL2. I can natively develop any kind of software for literally any non-walled-garden platform on Windows (and use a VM if I'm forced to make an iOS app, god forbid). Why would I intentionally choose to limit what my computer can run and what development I can do?

I'm forced to use a Macbook for work, but would never use it if given the choice. MacOS is for people that value style over substance and non-technical people, just like everything else Apple.

You’re obviously free to prefer whatever platform you please for whatever personal reasons you please, but the conclusion that macOS is for non-technical people is insanely ignorant.

I said "people that value style over substance and non-technical people," you appear to have read "non-technical people."

>ignorant

In fact the only techy people I know that enjoy MacOS seem to be ignorant about what they're missing. I've had multiple people be very surprised when I showed them the clipboard manager built into Windows and explained how insanely slow switching between windows over and over to copy and paste multiple things on MacOS feels without it. They genuinely had no idea because they, again, never leave their Apple bubble.

Like the iPhone the one thing Macbooks objectively have going for them is (overpriced) good hardware.
