Diseased Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
in the minds of apple cultists its literally unpossible for anyone to genuinely dislike their shitty products. his next argument will be that you didnt try buying the next macbook on release and the next one after that so you ackshyually never really used it so your opinion is invalid, or something similarly retarded. maybe even something about the bad cooling and shitty cables being a feature.
My roommate's MacBookerino Pro got bricked after he spilled a few drops of water on it. Apple said it would be cheaper to buy a new one because the "repair" would be to just replace almost everything anyway.

I regularly moisturized my old X230 with beer and it literally didn't care.
I saw a guy getting his brow splitted and bleeding after getting hit with a Rainbow Dash stickerbombed X200.
I saw things Applefags wouldn't believe.

How come I seldom see them boast about new software written in Rust, but only re-writes? Is there something about Rust which makes developing new software annoying or slow? And even then, most shit written in Rust is 0.x , and Rust itself has an unstable ABI.
Arguably, it is easier to copy something than to do something from scratch.
In my experience unless you have a very well defined idea of how your project is going to be layed out in terms of data flow Rusts type checker will punish you for experimenting and adding new things. So it's doubly true that copying old tools is easier because it lets you skip the planning and prototyping step. On the plus side this makes Rust an excellent tool for curing one's tendency to feature creep.
 
Honestly surprised there are people who genuinely hate GIMP. Always saved my ass when making image edits.
I despise GIMP. I truly detest it. Because I know how good it would be if only it wasn't twisted and corrupted by its very own namesake GUI toolkit, if all GN*ME subhumans anywhere nearby it were summarily executed and their corpses dumped at 100 E. Davie Street, and if they dropped (or tucked away wherever too metastatic) decades-old worthless paradigms (such as layer boundaries) and got around to fixing shit, most of it coming from GTK itself being a joke UI that cannot be used in anything more complex than a music player (that can't open music files). And yet I'm still using it, because of G'MIC and some other good plugins, but I fucking hate it.

My old T60 got chucked out a window once and STILL works. They're the Nokia 3310's of laptops.

So you're saying it forces good planning and engineering? Maybe Rust isn't too bad after all..

Wasn't GTK the first unified UI toolkit? You can't completely fault them for all the bullshit. Qt BTFOs it though.
 
Plus, proper metal chassis. I fucking hate plastic. That's not some shill of "the best build quality ever!!!!!!" but it's certainly nicer than the fisher-price type shells a lot of laptops have now.
Bully for you! Still doesn't change the fact that they've spent over a decade and change making boards that have a coin toss's chance of failing inside a year for all the most stupid fucking reasons imaginable and then trying to gaslight their buyers into believing that, fuck what the statistics say, it's the consoomers' fault.

Also, for what it's worth, metal chassis aren't anywhere near as notable or as expensive as you seem to think - I buy almost exclusively ultra-budget and refurbished laptops, and I can't think of the last one I owned that had a plastic body. Fucking skill issue.

Have you actually ever owned a macbook, or are you just reposting smug tl;dv videos from youtube to feel better about your dell or asus or acer laptop?
OK cool you're a retarded Apple cultist and have nothing valuable to say or contribute and just want to repeat talking points instead of actually engaging with the failure rate stats that you don't like, so I won't miss anything by ignorelisting you.

They specifically make them just brittle enough to brick the device if the user tries to open it up when they don't know everything that a "Apple Certified Technician" would ahead of time. They're designed to self-destruct. They're purposefully selling consumers faulty products in an attempt to prevent users from repairing hardware they paid for, and it's only a matter of time before they get sued into oblivion for it.
 
If you use a laptop for anything serious, you can't really beat a Thinkpad. Not only because of linux compatibility, but because of how many are in circulation. You'll be hard pressed to have trouble finding spare parts for one.
My experience is quite the opposite. Not only did it start falling apart within a few months (due to the shitty plastic screws breaking under low stress), but replacement parts were literal months away. It was on the lower end, with specs good for the price point, perhaps explaining the tofu dreg casing; higher-end ones might actually last.

GTK was made for GIMP, Gnome came after. If anything, it's GIMP's fault that Gnome sucks, not the other way around.

The Thinkpadcel fears the HP Elitebook Chad.

The FOSS UX “”people”” especially GNOME ones are the worst subhumans and tranny lovers there are among FOSS fags.
I was going to rebut but then i remembered Nicco works on KDEs UX and hes trying discredit the Asahi Lina is Hector Martin information because it came from here.


Also just recently reposted this. Why are they all like this?

Lenovo thinkads have shit build quality and the trackpads are unusable. That's the whole issue. Nothing comes close to macbooks. That's just a fact. No reason to get mad about it.


Have you actually ever owned a macbook, or are you just reposting smug tl;dv videos from youtube to feel better about your dell or asus or acer laptop? Macbooks are worth the price just for the trackpad alone. Every single non-macbook laptop I've ever used had a shitty trackpad. I don't care about phones, that's just your cope.
Why do you care so much about the trackpad of all things? Have you considered simply plugging in a mouse so this no longer needs to be such a big issue for you?
 
I'll give it to apple for being the first company to actually try a ARM computer that's not built on a smartphone chip, that's all the props they get though.
First Arm computer was probably the Acorn RISC PC 600. There have been a few other ARM-based computers over the years, primarily in supercomputing and server spaces. Apple pretending to have invented something, or to have been the first to do something, is a very old story.

If you want to get really autistic about it, the first Arm computer is the BBC Acorn Micro with the ARM1 co-processor.
