Give kids a raspberry pi and they're happy. They can literally see everything that makes a computer work in the palm of their hand.

And once they connect it up, they can fire up the pre-installed version of minecraft and off they go.

@basedbagel @dander

The exact same. I have had people over 60 and kids under 8 using linux with zero issues.

@basedbagel @dander

I'm regularly running 10+ concurrent VMs on my very old linux laptop with no issue. There's simply no use case for me in using an M1 and my security and privacy is way better, both from a hardware and software stance.

@basedbagel @dander

People tend to have this irrational fear of linux and it's difficulty and it's all a myth.

For years now, the installers have made things so easy it's a cakewalk. Your granny could literally use Debian/Ubuntu without ever opening up a terminal window, ever.

Simpler than Mac for normie users.

Of course, it's way more fun when you start using terminal.

@basedbagel @dander

I'll pass on the M1. I've seen too many people paying the early adoption price of waiting for hardware patches/upgrades, incompatible software and exotic workarounds.

These things get resolved over time, but that's what you get for taking on 1st gen hardware.

Also for the same price of an M1, my work laptop can use 32Gb RAM whereas that's only possible on the pricier M1 Pro.

I throw Windows in there because it's still the required OS for the majority of professional work. My use of Windows for at least the last decade has been strictly professional.

Personally, my daily driver for years has been linux; debian, fedora, kali and a few others - these are my goto's. Not ubuntu.

Security is better on Mac than Windows but both equally suck for privacy.

@basedbagel @dander

Makes superficial sense, but it doesn't bear closer scrutiny.

There's nothing you can't do on Mac that someone isn't already successfully doing in linux. And most likely on actively developed FOSS, though that doesn't have to be the case.

On the flipside, PC + gaming. And since WSL2 on Windows 10/11 runs most linux distros + docker, I have found almost no reason over the last few years to fire up the iMac.

Also Mac security/privacy is a disgrace.

I've recently taken a brief detour into Muslim content creators to learn more about what issues they have and what they're talking about.

Surprise surprise, they have a divorce crisis, a marriage crisis, and none of their women want to get married until they're 30 and have had a decade of riding infidel cock.

AWALT.

@basedbagel @I_AmTheKnight @37712

I don't blame these guys. Accepting that we're in a post-marriage world is a shitty redpill to have to swallow if your heart is set on family.

But yes it does raise the international hoe-flation rate.

Just let the game play itself out. If you really want marriage, it will be back on the menu when we're all standing in the rubble.

Governments are on a tight schedule, they can't just sit around waiting for disasters to occur naturally.

If you need a Patriot Act to install mass surveillance on your own people just manufacture a crisis. I don't know why anyone considers this controversial.
