If you choose to run niggerfaggot hardware you deserve niggerfaggot results. Don't like it? Use non-niggerfaggot hardware. Simple as.

Apple chips and laptop build quality are so far ahead of the rest, it's not even a competition. It would be nice to have a sane working OS to run on these computers.

If you say so. You chose to purchase bondageware, and now you're whining daddy won't whip you just the way you like it. I really don't know what to tell you, dude, you quite literally asked for this. If you didn't want the ghost of Steve Jobs shoving a spiked purple dildo up your ass on the regular then you should've bought something else.

I think the bigger problem is not that there are multiple, slightly convoluted ways of drawing a circle, but that one has to look up how to complete the toddler-level act of drawing a circle -- that it isn't immediately discoverable from the UI.

I've always insisted the biggest drawback with most OSS is that the user interfaces are designed by programmers. "There's a generic shape class; why would you not just construct an instance and pass it a pair of nodes and a normal vector, then call the method specifying that the nodes are actually foci of an ellipse? It's downright inefficient to have a separate toolbar button to draw specific shapes."

OT: I actually want a vector art program that's a bit like a geometer's toolbox, where you do everything in terms of nodes, tangent curves etc.

Are you sure about that? Because I seem to remember every generation of Macbook since 2009 having at least one production or design defect that makes it a coin toss as to whether or not your device will be a $2000 brick inside a year, where it takes multiple years and a class-action lawsuit to get Apple to actually fucking warranty that failure mode. There's also "You're holding it wrong" and flexgate on the smartphone side of their business. Be real, nigger, you're paying a 2x markup for the same disposable chinkshit as the "poors" for the sake of peacocking because you're too fucking stupid to buy the Bare Minimum Viable and invest the difference into something that'll actually build your generational wealth.

Apple raped their own reputation with the dogshit they produced between ~2008-2019 - you were only paying for their OS during that time, hardware was the same or worse than the competition & at an insane markup.

Their M series stuff is at least proper new hardware that gives them a market edge (good performance, therms, battery life).
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.

Anything else Apple makes (their phones, monitors, smartwatches etc) is retarded and belong in the trash, but I like their recent laptops.

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.

The chips themselves are decent, I'll give them that, but if you believe the build quality is decent you drank the kool-aid (or as Louis Rossman puts it: you fell for the marketing wankery)

Computers are ultimately for work. They're a tool. If it "feels nice" but breaks when you look at it the wrong way and fights you tooth and nail just to repair it and get back to work, that's not good build quality, that's getting duped and told to hand over more cash for the privilege of 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.

The only reasons to ever get a Macbook is if you either don't know better, or if you wipe your ass with $100 dollar bills.

I say the above not to be mean, but to hopefully save you money better spent elsewhere.

I think the bigger problem is not that there are multiple, slightly convoluted ways of drawing a circle, but that one has to look up how to complete the toddler-level act of drawing a circle -- that it isn't immediately discoverable from the UI.

This is 100% the issue. My comments on people getting filtered isn't for this step (which I agree is just straight up bad design), it's that once they know how that doing the extra two clicks is still too much work.

I've always insisted the biggest drawback with most OSS is that the user interfaces are designed by programmers. "There's a generic shape class; why would you not just construct an instance and pass it a pair of nodes and a normal vector, then call the method specifying that the nodes are actually foci of an ellipse? It's downright inefficient to have a separate toolbar button to draw specific shapes."

This is honestly the best way I've seen the issue described. It makes sense for them, because they built the program. OSS devs often forget to put themselves in the shoes of someone new (which is admittedly hard to do when you're the creator).

More UX designers need to participate in FOSS projects.

Side note: has it ever been addressed by the GIMP devs themselves why there isn't a specific "Shape Tool"? I see many questions on the internet asking for how to draw shapes, but nothing about it's absence.

weve been there, if you think the ux designers working in foss are any less autistic than the programmers youre sorely mistaken. unleashing ux designers on a foss project is how the dumpster fire of autism called gnome 3 came to be

Honestly surprised there are people who genuinely hate GIMP. Always saved my ass when making image edits.

I did. And I returned it after a year because I couldn't stand it.
Shit keyboard, getting so hot you could fry eggs on it, getting scuffs from just looking at it, harsh edges scratching my wrists, charging cable so fragile it's like it was made out of overcooked pasta... anyone who is saying "b-b-but muh build quality" is either parroting what they read on reddit or have terminal stage of Stockholm Syndrome.

Question for all you users out there:
Have you ever wanted a non-floating selection?
Yes, I know that bit's supposed to be so you can move the actual selection box without the content but somehow I doubt that it actually hinges on the concept of manually floating selections.

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.
