- talentedcoinGo to Reddit with this kind of thing, seriously
- These articles always make me laugh. Everyone complains and then everyone lines up and buys Macs again. macOS has been on the decline for literally years now. If you really want things to change put your money where your mouth is and switch!
- I'm disappointed to see this immature, mean-spirited screed on HN.
- This is not true. Don't ask a historian, ask an economist:

With some exceptions, UBI generally doesn't seem to work.
- What I don’t believe is that somebody bought Twitter only, or even primarily, to further their “class interests”. The whole framing here is bent.
- The one paper you keep shopping around here does indeed affirm that CBD may have some neuroprotective properties. That doesn’t change the fact that for the vast majority of people susceptible to schizophrenia or psychosis, that cannabis (always a mixture of THC and CBD in its natural state) is dangerous for them and can trigger mental issues. You can feel superior or more intelligent than others as much as you like, but that will not change this fact. You are getting a negative reaction from people who know this because we have been negatively affected by it, either ourselves or people we know. If you yourself “engage with the research” beyond your tunnel vision, you will see that the link between cannabis and mental issues is pretty well established by this point. In fact, refusal to acknowledge downsides of cannabis use is one of the hallmarks of cannabis use disorder. Pluck the beam out of your own eye.
- “Dangerous misconception”? Get out of here with that. Cannabis is dangerous for schizoaffective people. Why are people that smoke pot so tiresome about this? Just accept that it’s not good for everyone!
- Here’s a representative example of what I mean, an issue from one “modern” Linux desktop:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3787
At least with Windows you don’t have to gaslight yourself into thinking that blurry fonts are better. If you have a setup with multiple high-res monitors (or, God forbid, have to mess with scaling), it takes a lot of work to be happy with the looks and feel of a Linux desktop compared to what you get out of the box with Windows or a Mac.
- Windows is the only reasonable option for someone who wants a modern desktop but doesn’t want a Mac. Apple has been integrating ID into their systems for years and nobody bats an eye. Do you want a computer that “feels like” something or do you want to get work done?
- He sure did. This was a man so vain he refused to wear glasses even though he needed them.
- Apple “pro” stuff has meant “pro-sumer” for awhile now - nice stuff, for some, but nothing to do with “professionals” per se.
- That’s a lazy critique. It’s a Commonwealth thing. If you really believe all Commonwealth countries are authoritarian, there’s not much I can say here that would convince you otherwise.
Anyways, I don’t deny there are pluses and minuses. The situation of the person in this article (if the facts are as reported) is unfortunate, and I’d hope that the ministry would intervene if push really came to shove.
- The fact that some countries don’t give free speech (no matter how reckless, dangerous or untrue) the religious status that America does doesn’t make them authoritarian.
The American constitution says: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Canadian one says: peace, order, and good government. Different strokes for different folks - you do you.
- Pathetic that this ragebait has ended up on HN. I am Canadian. There is no sweeping authoritarianism here.
- “Benefits” of macOS? What are they — the pointless yearly updates? The OCD changes to chrome year after year? The declining stability?
- Yeah, but the Pope was right!!!
