Not gonna waste 23 minutes watching some random Youtube video linked by a random slashdot armchair expert, but a quick scan of the comments makes it clear that this is just yet another contrarian guy's opinion. Sorry, that doesn't make the statement FSCKING WRONG.

Very few people claim that fake meat is more healthy for you, especially given its sky-high sodium content.

The main advantage of fake meat is that it's better for the environment. Steps like this are made necessary because we have NOT IN ANY FSCKING WAY solved global warming, and beef production is one of the top causes of climate change.

I think the author meant "desktop OS", because iOS has required online activation for as long as I can recall. Doesn't make the practice any less consumer-hostile, though.

macOS X and Linux only share the aspect that they have a Unix-like flavour, with a number of libraries and applications benefiting from that. Otherwise when it comes to the kernel they couldn't be more different. The macOS Kernel is known a XNU. I did try looking a good comparison of both the kernels, but you'll need to start with these:

Like the other guy said, "Your laptop is old and no longer supported by Apple."

It's probably less an issue for laptops, but Apple's 5 years of support is inadequate for a desktop. I have a 2009 mini that still works fine, but the last supported OS was El Capitan, and that support ended in 2018.

Mint Linux 19.3 works fine on it, and is supported until 2023. I could even try 20 point whatever, but I'm not sure how a core 2 duo will do on a 5 point something kernel.

Apple's least green policy is early abandonment of still useful hardware. I can see cutting off the OS versions as the the feature creep outruns the hardware, but a few more years of security updates wouldn't bankrupt them.

Mainly because I constantly find things about the macOS UI that annoy me and hinder me, despite the supposed consistency macOS tries to bring. I've never liked the terminal emulators on macOS either. Partly a matter of how macOS keyboard conventions (no home and end for example) conflict with how I use the terminal. And then there's the focus policies, especially how MacOS used to eat mouse clicks when focusing on a different app. Not sure if it still does that now, but it annoyed me for years.

I'm far more comfortable and productive on my Fedora box with the Mate Desktop.

Apple's store was the only one which tried to take a 30% cut of in-app payments. If you want to put in-app payments in your Android, Amazon, Steam, Epic, etc. store offering, you can and the money is all yours.

Another PSA

Apple turns unencrypted syncing of all your photos to the cloud on every time you do some or all of these:

- Update iOS - Turn on find my iPhone - Turn on copy-paste between your iPhone and Mac - Turn on screen sharing between your iPad and Mac

unless you turn it off after each of those cases. And even still, the uploading of your photos begins immediately and the time between when you turn on, say iPad screen sharing, and when you turn off photo sharing may upload some photos and it is not clear how to remove them.

In this case ^ "unencrypted" means employees have access to your photos and can print them, modify them in your account, and do anything they want with them.
