This meme is old enough to drink.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 43 points 2 months ago

I tried to drink it but nothing happened? Maybe next year

[-] SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago

I was curious so I checked.

Aqua OS X logo is 2001-2007.

MS Vista - 7 Logo is 2006-2020.

Seems like you are correct it if the meme creator used the most recent logos at the time. So 17 or 18 years old.

MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 29 points 2 months ago

Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

Given that's actually the only way to do it... (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)

[-] bali10050@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

There is always a third really obscure way to do things

I've switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it's genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn't run like a furnace, even under load

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.

[-] IllNess@infosec.pub 7 points 2 months ago

MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.

Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

What is OpenCore?

The m1 Mac mini when it launched for about a solid 18-24mo was the single best deal at the time (largely due to the insane GPU price hike admittedly but still very powerful objectively for the price). Very weird to say that but honestly it’s true. The minis are still very robust for the price.

HAHAHHAA APPLE BAD SUCH LEMMINGS HAHAHA IT’S 2010 AND I’M SO BRAVE

I might be an idiot, but I'm not going to use a Mac.

This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

This meme has the logos of the OSs from around 2007. Back then there weren't many Linux non-IT users.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

I miss those old logos, the new ultra flat ultra simple logos are just so uninteresting compared to that era

This may be a hot take, but I don't think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn't. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.

I am self aware enough to know that I am an idiot, but still use Linux and Windows.

Take that, flow chart!

[-] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

2024 version: Are you an idiot? Windows Do you swim in money? Mac No? Linux

[-] lengau@midwest.social 19 points 2 months ago

Wait I'm an idiot who has a life. Why am I on Linux?

[-] palordrolap@kbin.run 12 points 2 months ago

I'm not sure there's a way to answer that without being unnecessarily mean.

[-] lengau@midwest.social 10 points 2 months ago

Just call me a penguin fucker and get it over with...

I would switch MacOS and Microsoft. You really have to be an idiot to install that malware onto your computer voluntarily. MacOS is much safer and if you still have the need for shenanigans you have a Unix terminal to play with.

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

you have to be an idiot to pay that much for something that locked down and unserviceable.

I’ve used Mac OS since 1988, BSD/UNIX since 1990, Linux since 1993 and Windows since 1995.

Due to my expertise with all these operating systems, I make enough money to have a life.

I predominantly use Apple hardware, partly because I can easily run all these OSes on it.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

The Intel "cheese grater" pros were a dream multi-boot machine. EFI, clean, capable of great RAM, nice drive bays, dual ethernet.

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

So wait... Since I use both linux and a mac I'm a no life idiot? Yep, checks out.

[-] Humorless4483@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I have a life and that’s why I use Linux because I don’t have 3h to wait for a single forced windows update

[-] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

But I can't afford a Mac :(

Programmers I’ve worked with all prefer MacBooks. And yes, you can run Linux on a Mac too.
