This is misleading. The models mentioned won’t get the latest MacOS update, true, but they will be supported. My older 2016 MBP is stuck on BigSur or something, but gets security updates regularly and doesn’t have any incompatibilities so far. I could probably force update it if I wanted to. Apple is known for supporting their devices for longer than other manufacturers.

Apple devices have enough legit reasons for criticism, no need to make up new ones.

I have some experience with Latex, but afaik, it’s mostly for writing mathematical formulas and stuff, no?

I’m surprised this is still getting responses.
Fair jab, but I was obviously the computing term, implying “…from source code”.

This post is on the “front page”, didn’t come here deliberately.

Fair enough, I didn’t know that “open-source” is, in of itself, sort of a misnomer and, by the formal definition, a book can be open-source, because the phrase means certain specific things not tied to source code, contrary to what the name implies.
And in my defense, I’ve seen some software that required license key to use, with code available on GitHub or something that called itself open-source (I won’t be able to recall the specific names). I assume the term is misused often.

But “open source” doesn’t even mean that you can reproduce it or use it for free. It just means that you can see the source code. The permissiveness, as you mentioned, lies in the licensing.
So I still think that it’s a complete misnomer.

What’s an “open source” book? You don’t compile a book, aren’t they all “open source”? Do they list all the sources for their text or something?

I had to install Golang and build it myself to make it work with my version of glibc. But in the end the themes aren’t rendered properly. In other words, proper Linux experience.

You took my comment too seriously, it was just a joke.
But you also singled out Intel. Corporations aren’t heroes in general and AMD is also there. And EU is depicted as the villain, although it’s implied it’s the hero in the context of the meme.

I would argue that the meme has long lost that particular aspect of itself and the character alignment is ignored. In this instance, clearly indicated by Surtr being EU, while the context heavily implies that EU is the “hero”.

Who said anything about heroes? Villains sometimes want to stop other villains, too. In fact, probably often.

Yeah, seems like I’m wrong. I looked up the docs on git-scm.com and it says that the default branch name is “currently master, but this is subject to change in the future”. Maybe GitHub threw me off.

Depends on your version of git, I believe.

Chevrolet of Watsonville is probably geo-locked, too.

But for real, it’s probably GPT-3.5, which is free anyway.
