  • It was always about a campaign of terror and the charade of “doing something“.

    For over 45 years, the “war on drugs“ was lost before it began. Drugs won. Why? Because everyone loves drugs. And the only way to win the “war on drugs“ is to reduce or eliminate the reasons why people want to use drugs in the first place: because they’re fucking miserable. Happy people don’t use drugs. Well, not the bad drugs. Happy people like smoking weed, but weed isn’t really one of the “bad drugs”. Anyway…

    No, no… All of this was performative bullshit to make the “strong men” look strong when, in fact, they all knew it wouldn’t really accomplish anything other than making the American public think that they were actually accomplishing something. Which, of course, they weren’t. Nothing, aside from, of course, the stochastic terror they have been perpetrating upon everyone. and murdering brown people, which the Nazis in the current administration, love, regardless of the purpose or end result.








  • Me too, buddy, me too

    Edit: but their development pace is accelerating pretty quickly, so an M4 build should be available much more quickly than their past builds have been available. Considering their development curve, I think the middle of next year? With an M5 build about nine months after that.

    Each Apple Silicon generation, their builds are coming out quicker and quicker. And, for most Mac users, the Linux option is best for older Macs anyway, so the latest generation is less of a pressing matter.

    macOS is still a pretty good BSD distro. The worst thing about it is that it is really locked down corporate distro, not that it lacks POSIX and/or FOSS/linux interoperability. It’s not like we’re dealing with Windows here… the “ickyness” of it is a matter of principle, not actual technical capability.



  • Not gonna lie: I really like both. I like variety in my life.

    I also really like fedora on my old iMac. It makes for an excellent Plex server.

    But macOS is getting much less impressive with every iteration, and as cool as Apple Silicon is, I’m less and less attracted to it because of its narrowing support for software.

    But Apple has a new CEO now, and I’m interested to see what direction he’s gonna take the company.
