£2.95 for each item 🤷‍♂️

On this day in 2004, IBM announced that it would sell its PC division to Lenovo 😟 Since then, quality has gone down for Thinkpad. It is now just following what Apple is doing. IBM had a fully industrial design team for the iconic brand back in the old days. It is sad to see such a legacy ruined by Lenovo.

@nixCraft “following what Apple is doing" how? 😂

What is the first thing you install on a fresh computer? 🤔

aaronage,
@aaronage@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft Mac -> just the usual homebrew, gnu utils etc. 👌
Linux -> just comfort things like gnome-tweaks etc. ☺️
Windows -> Firefox, then like a full day of swearing at it while trying to correct the terrible out-of-the-box state 🤬

The First IBM PC, the 5150, was released closer to the start of World War II than to today.

Choose your Fighter: Mac OS X Dashboard or macOS Sonoma Desktop Widgets.

@BasicAppleGuy Desktop widgets in Sonoma are great! They need to bring back the wave effect from OS X, though 😀

@Migueldeicaza nope, not even once lol

@Migueldeicaza it’s like cheering on the school bully because they’re going after someone you don’t like for once.

One year of System Settings, how are people feeling about it? 👍⚙️👎

aaronage,
@aaronage@mastodon.social avatar

@BasicAppleGuy A unified settings experience across all Apple devices is a good thing 🙌

The only thing that bugs me about Settings (on all devices) is the General category. It's not intuitive - e.g. why are Time Machine and Sharing considered “General”?

Linux users and their streaming music players be like :P FYI, here is how to install Spotify on various Linux distros https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-install-spotify-application-on-linux/

aaronage,
@aaronage@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft The Spotify “app” is literally just the web player running on CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework).

Is that really much better? 😅

Personally, I don’t think we should set the bar for “runs on Linux” so low that it includes these garbage web wrapper things. We should demand better 🙂
