So micro usb, the literal worst standardized usb connector in existence, is what you are claiming is better than an iPhone’s omnidirectional lighting connector.
And you know how I can tell you haven’t ever touched an iPad? 🤦♂️ “an elongated iPod touch” smdh.
Option click is still possible, it just works slightly differently. I literally did it yesterday on my Sequoia work system.
use a different desktop environment
Fair, I think this is one of the worst parts of the Linux “ecosystem”, as it completely fucks anyone that doesn’t know to use whatever the “current hotness” is, but I understand a lot of people like it.
uninstall OS components…
Like what? You mean like running without a login screen or do you mean uninstalling something like systemd?
be absolutely certain…
You can do that with plenty of network scanning apps, and you shouldn’t be doing that on device anyway. Not sure how Linux would stop that when you could install a bad package, or run apt update on something that has had a supply chain vulnerability.
run 32 bit apps
Fair. I haven’t needed this since about two months after Apple made the change, because Apple sure does a good job of getting developers to update their code, but I’m sure there are still some apps people wish worked that never updated.
play video games
Yeah video games on Mac are terrible, no argument there. Literally the only reason I still have a windows computer. Soon as they force 11, I’m switching back to a Linux desktop, but honestly I’m not looking forward to it.
take my laptop
You can do that now and you could before, Apple just didn’t like it and they made it as hard as possible. I agree it’s a shit policy, but I’m mostly asking about the operating system here. For example you could be running a hackintosh.
I still don’t know what that means. You can access the filesystem. You can even install a terminal if you want. And if that isn’t enough you can always jailbreak.
So absolutely nothing to do with Mac at all. And you’re referencing a cable that hasn’t been used in literally over a decade and comparing it to a a cable that you’re using now? You do realize Android phones in 2010 used proprietary cables too, right?
What stuff do you think you can’t tinker with on a Mac?
What stuff do you think you can’t do on Mac? It’s essentially just Linux with better (and more supported) apps.
You don’t need code signing though. Just hold option when you open the app the first time and you’re never bothered about it again. Like the other person said, give us a list of things you can’t do on Mac, that you can on Linux.
Lack of access to the file system? What are you talking about?
Real question, what things on Apple were so restrictive that you think it’s a prison?
Except the defaults for copilot plugins automatically put them either on enter or tab, the normal completion mechanisms for any decent IDE.
They didn’t add text saying it’s an IDE. It clearly says it’s a code editor. They add a snippet about comparing it to actual IDEs to placate people like you, and no it wasn’t within 4 months of launch, it was years.
lol it doesn’t have testing or debugging by default! You literally have to install extensions to do those things! It has panels where those things go, but they don’t do anything without an extension. Try running a js test from the gutter on a clean install. You literally can’t.
Nope, because I don’t give one shit about those kinds of games. Nintendo and indie games have never cared about graphics and performance. I haven’t owned a PlayStation since the PS2, and I’ve never owned an Xbox. Crazy how if your only console is a Nintendo then you never really care about that stuff. I do have a gaming pc but still play mostly indie games.
My team tested it out for our company (17k employees) and it was so bad we immediately said no. It wasn’t just harmful, it was actively intrusive. I’d be trying to type something and it would autocomplete the exact opposite of what I wanted to type. I was constantly deleting what it wrote because it was nowhere in the vicinity of being correct. The same experience was had across everyone else that tried it.
Claude on the other hand is wonderful.
Copilot was worse than useless in my situation. My team tested it out and immediately were losing productivity due to it. Terrible autocomplete is worse than just jumping over to ChatGPT or Claude when we actually need help. It literally was so bad we all overwhelmingly said “no, but can we get something like <literally any competitor> please”.
They didn’t have that originally, they added it because of people like you that are arguing that it’s an IDE when it clearly isn’t.
Code editor makes perfect sense. It’s a text editor with code highlighting, fast search, and an understanding of different languages, oftentimes with command windows to make working with text easier. Clearly distinct from something like notepad, that only has the ability to edit text and nothing else.
I would say that for something to be an IDE it has to be meant to be an IDE. Clearly Microsoft didn’t intend for it to be an IDE or they would have called it that. Just because you can build something that looks and performs like an F1 race car in your garage out of an old lawnmower or ford Taurus or whatever doesn’t make it an F1 car. Unless it’s racing at Monaco in an F1 race, it ain’t an F1 car. Same thing with VS Code. It’s a code editor, like Sublime or vim.
Vscode is a text editor, sorry…“code editor”. Like you so graciously called out in a later comment, MS even clarified that it’s not an IDE. If VSCode is an IDE then so is VIM or Sublime Text or Notepad++, which of course is nonsense. IDE doesn’t just mean integrated development environment, it means it was meant to be used that way. Just because I turned my lawnmower into something that looks like an F1 race car doesn’t mean it’s an F1 race car.
You’re clearly aware of all of the arguments why VS code isn’t an IDE so it’s pointless to have this argument, but you seem to think that just because something looks like an IDE means it is, which is just categorically false.
Are you sure you don’t have a dark mode extension on? It was black text for me
Except it has the opposite effect. Now people who have their lemmy configured to filter out the word “suicide” in posts get to see this post because there’s no way in hell they have it configured for every “redacted” version of the word.
I know you’re trying to make a funny joke here, and I completely agree with the sentiment. I just want to point out a spot I think the story could be improved upon. People that hang out with the CEO don’t get 30k dollar raises. They get 100, 200, 300 thousand dollar raises, in the forms of stock. Bonuses are usually based on the performance of the company as well, so it’s more likely to be 100k plus bonus. I understand the difference might not seem that much, but people like me (I consider myself well off) don’t meet the ceo or play golf with anyone even within arms reach of the ceo, but I have gotten normal 10k bonuses and 30k dollar raises.
These people are so so so soooo much higher on the wealth spectrum that it doesn’t even compute. Like the people in Home Alone wouldn’t even be talking to the CEO level of wealth.
