  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Mac users shit outside, in a walled garden.

    It’s nice out here though.

    Mac isn't really a walled garden in the sense iOS is without jailbreak. You can install unsigned code out of the box, have similar Admin privileges as on windows (but not as powerful as a superuser on Linux), and it integrates very well into an otherwise non-Apple household. You can use quickshare with android phones or windows PCs instead of using apple airdrop for example, which is something iOS users can only dream of

    I prefer hackintosh over Linux on my Thinkpad, even though battery life is slightly worse (but still way better than it was out of the box with windows)

    There is su on MacOS, I just didn’t ever need it for the kinds of dev work I did.

    It runs bash(or zsh) and most of the rest of the things you’d use in a dev environment and (before docker was so popular) it was pretty easy (maybe 15-20 minutes from scratch with makes) to set up a new Mac to mimic a Unix server environment for local dev work.

    Yeah, I meant unlike with Linux you can't change certain core functionality of your OS. Stuff like just entirely replacing the window manager for a different one. You can do a lot of powerful stuff with kernel extensions, but even those are limited (and apple made it a lot more complicated to install kernel extensions on Apple Silicon compared to how it worked on Intel Macs)

    [–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

    Yeah I meant to exclude those types of OS level changes, good point.

    I quit web dev before Apple silicon took over (I bought one of the last intel laptops because I’m a Luddite about losing my old apps and weird projects.
