Who would think that a company whose site is basically a safe haven for racists and trolls at this point with no moderation would push away your average person and need to dump staff

Here in Australia, you can barely even comment on anything anymore without some tryhard being racist or abusing the government. Even worse, lots of people with criminal incitement that gets ignored

Literally saw a photo of cane toads. Some wanker commented “that’s Albo penny Wong and dan andrews”. There was no reason to be political at all

It’s just no longer fun on there. And there is no way to block all posts by people you don’t know by default from your wall

Except the ones that submit AI slop patches to projects without even understanding it or being upfront about it

Our local racist politician here in Australia didn’t complete high school

She’s stated education is woke…

How many are bots?

Its like facebook. Engagement is up, audience is increased, but, its likely by a small number of people. I started noticing that in the Aussie subs, that every week, near the weekend (right before night), there were obvious lobbyist posts, which suddenly shot up (stuff like pro guns, pro- one nation etc). At this point, our local racism party was clearly doing heavy lobbying on the platform (despite losing 30 years of elections, based on reddit, you’d think they were #1).

Like facebook, a lot of people are switching off now, and trying to find alternatives.

Moderation has also gotten really bad recently. I had an account for 14+ years, never got banned. Made a new account, and within a few months, I got a temp ban for apparently being racist (despite the fact, I spent a lot of time arguing AGAINST racism).

On facebook in fact, on the heatpump posts, I actually noticed 1 or 2 names pop up on almost all the adverts saying they were an engineer, and that heatpumps don’t work, etc (with bad info). Reddit allows infinite accounts, and no doubt, it is not much better there

Sailfish is also a great option too

I hate trackpads in general.

Their first gen of touchpad however was the worst I ever saw

It was on the last PowerBook pro (I think)

And it was just yet another example of bad hardware apple released, but few people talk about, and Steve was in charge when it happened

I’ve been trying (like everyone else) for steam controller.

My sidewinder was awesome. Actually forgot all about it

I mean, check their puck mouse lol.

Go find a mighty mouse and use the right mouse button every day

Try to find me 2 worse designed mice.

Or, tell me the good thing about those 2 mice

The most basic benefit (ease of use) isn’t even good. Because the buttons on the mighty mouse isn’t obvious, I saw a lot of elderly people struggle to Click consistently. And if they wanted to do a right click, it wasn’t going to happen

It might be subjective, but you’ll struggle to find anyone defending these two products

And you definitely will struggle to find anyone who will say that the best spot for a USB port is on the bottom 😂

It would be… Sold them for years… But, its informed bias. Owned a Powermac, Mac Pro, and various other gear.

And, the things that people whine about in Apple forums weren’t even the most common issues

Every bit of gear I owned was overpriced considering the issues with the hardware itself.

In fact, I watched as Apple’s market grew as people walked in believing Mac’s can’t get viruses and don’t crash (and this was whilst iLife was super buggy, I was constantly fixing preferences).

Each is entitled to their own opinion, but the only good thing I can credit MacOS for these days, is IOS support built in, and not being as much a clusterfuck as Windows.

In practice, if it wasn’t for IOS support, Linux has basically caught up I feel.

I was actually selling Apple gear when they released the Mighty mouse. It sounded AWESOME. We were so excited. On their ads, it sounded like we’d get a product with touchpad buttons basically that killed their previous (worse) puck mice.

What we got, was an overpriced mouse which was near-damned impossible to click the right button (you got RSI every time you tried) and which was physical click.

Microsoft’s super cheap basic mice we sold 10x faster (at least), and were 1/3rd the price

The reality is, they really f*** up most of their products, but people make excuses for them. Even the iPod shuffle, there were good cheap alternatives (I had one), and mine even had a display. OSX 10 used to have corrupt preferences regularly, SMB was crap until at least OSX 10.5, etc. One release, there was a bug where the network broke completely after a few minutes (there is no way anyone couldn’t have noticed during testing)

My Mac Studio M2 was the only computer I have ever had that had compatibility issues with some USB-C cables (and, it was a few of them from differing brands). Antenna gate, and they tried to water down the problems, by comparing to other manufacturers and said “if you hold them in this totally unrealistic way, you have similar issues”

Apple is incapable of making a good mouse.

You keep saying I’m weird or whatever. But, if you said this stuff in person, people would find you weird.

It’s literally the kind of thing our local racist here in Australia says.

It’s not bad for anyone. It’s just some weird power move

I’m blocking you now. Good bye

Elther that, or sometimes there is no benefit to swearing. And it’s fairly clear in not doing it to satisfy a machine.

But ok Mr gatekeeper. I don’t think ignorant means what you think it does

I prefer normal people who don’t give a sh** about stupid stuff like this. So agree to disagree. Not responding again

Go bully someone else instead

It would also run Bitcoin mining, and send the money to Pauline, and then pretend it’s doing you a favour and saving taxpayer money

You’re right. I don’t

It’s one of those things that “anti woke” people would say to bully people who don’t stoop to their level lol

Actually, its super bizarre to make a big deal over something mundane like this. Guessing you’re that guy in real life who needs all your friends to be yes men, and agree with you.

No, I’m not changing it. You’ll survive, Karen… Maybe you should be more concerned about Trump’s scams…

Are you seriously getting offended by that 😂

You’ll assault them?

Like all those maga people who hate pedophiles (apparently)

He didn’t rob everyone… stormy Daniels however might be the only one he publicly actually ever paid (even if he tried to get a refund).

I’m willing to bet there are a lot of underage women and other women who he paid though who haven’t come forward

It was always going to be some sh** AliExpress Android phone anyway. There was definitely also going to be some kind of spyware/ harvesting happening

Here in Australia, this would likely be fraud by deception
