I came in here annoyed at them gaming the system and you totally turned my perspective around on it. Makes perfect sense.

I'm pretty sure that ruling specifically relied on the denial of service being an expression of religious belief, which would be a hard sell here.
(Also, not endorsing the ruling, that's just my understanding of it).

I have like 80,000 total Reddit Karma on an 11-year-old account.
In four weeks on Kbin I've already gotten 3,100 reputation. It's just a much nicer community than Reddit.
Oldie but a goodie.
Are there more expensive Chromebooks with better build quality?
Genuine questions. My impression was that they pretty much only serve the ultra low end market, but I've never really looked into it because I need to do heavier tasks on my computers.
John Carpenter's The Thing. I wouldn't go down to the basement by myself for like three months.
Still one of my favorite movies.
Like any creative ever. Gamers will disagree but I find Macs desktop UI much nicer than Windows. I worked in Hollywood editorial for a while and it's ALL Macs there until you get into really high end VFX stations.
The Wacom drivers are also MUCH better on Mac. It's hard to explain, but the stylus just doesn't feel as smooth on Windows. The response curve/time is just better, even with the same settings.
A bunch of small UX things like native column view in finder turn into annoyances on other systems.
Having a UNIX terminal is nice if you're a developer but aren't fond of any of the Linux desktop environments. WSL for windows it's getting better, but getting IDEs to play nicely with it was still touch and go last time I gave it a whirl.
I game on PC and deploy to Linux servers, but Mac is my daily driver for coding and video editing. It just gets out of my way and let's me be productive. I have to do way too much fiddling on Windows and PC for a desktop experience I still like less.
Also -- disregarding the OS, which I do think Apple should be forced to sell as a standalone -- the build quality is leaps and bounds above any other laptop I've had. I've been using a laptop with the M1 Apple Silicone, and it's legitimately the happiest I've ever been with a work computer.
That's what I meant. The GUI is all that 95% of end users interact with.
Lol. Brain fart. Fixed
Folders. At least to the end-user. Under the hood it's Unix, so it wouldn't be wrong to call them directories either.
Yeah, I bought gold a few times. I had no problem with "this content was so good it inspired me to give back a little to the free service we're all using."
I wouldn't mind some equivalent for the fediverse honestly. Let me donate to the home server of a user who's comment I thought was especially good.
I know you can donate directly, but I do think there was something about also making another user's day that felt good about the Gold system. The service gets some fuel in the tank and the comment author gets a little boost to their mood. It was nice.
I agree it got way too out of hand when they moved beyond Gold though.
