The person reading this is cute
No U!
No
Yuh uh!
I can’t believe you’ve done this

Awww, found it!
Not to get all Apple-apologia, but my wife’s old Macbook is still going strong for casual use (email, video streaming, web browsing) after nearly a decade.
Not really a badge of honor or anything, just that it takes a lot to bog down even substandard out of date hardware to a noticable degree if you don’t do a ton on it in the first place.
Btw might be a good idea to clean its fans and air vents, especially if it gets hot and/or slow fast
I’ve got a top-of-the-line 2015 Macbook Pro that works well today. I also don’t understand why Macbooks are held as mutually exclusive to Linux. They’re just a computer, plug in your bootable Linux USB and install it. I’ve got Linux on mine and it works decently.
Did you install Linux on it tho :3
I hate Apple with passion, but my GF has a 2013 Macbook, that is still getting security updates and is totally usable.
I replaced the spinning hard drive a while ago with a fast SSD, while using Clonezilla to copy the content and partitions of the drive.
And you know what? It started like a rocket. It has an Intel CPU, but I don’t think installing Linux would have made it much better, especially UX wise.
MacOS is more than half the reason most people buy a Mac and not a cheap laptop.
Still nice meme tho. It’s way more relatable than I want to admit it.
There were no 2013 MacBooks with spinning disks, last year for that was 2012
Whoops! Then it is even older, you’re correct.
Then it’s a 2012 model.One of the best they ever made imo
Linux would provide you with security updates for a significantly longer time
noooo why is the text in the background i wanted to read that
You can read all of it as alt text on the original post.
I’m using a new M3 MBP at work and it literally brought my compile time from 20+ minutes on a pretty beefy Windows machine down to about 6 minutes. Based on that alone, it’s hard to imagine using anything else for serious dev work at this point.
Having said that, there’s a lot of goofy Apple fuckery going on too. Multi-monitor support is limited to two displays, so if you want more than that you’re stuck with an expensive third-party dock and DisplayLink drivers, which cause color artifacting in high motion like you’d expect from a heavily compressed video, which leads to eye strain. Mouse support is terrible without a third party app to fix the goofy scroll wheel acceleration curve they’ve built in, and even buying first-party peripherals doesn’t solve it. I need a third party app just to prevent Mac OS from opening iTunes every time I connect a Bluetooth headset… So many little dumb things to deal with.

I have Macs for 10+ years and I never had them open iTunes when connecting a bluetooth headset.
I couldn’t tell you when it started, but it’s definitely a thing now, which is why projects like noTunes exist
You could also just put it on the old MacBook…
Why does it have to be furries all the time…

This is one of my favorite blogposts of all time. It is an extremely well written, in depth writeup of several security vulnerabilties of a popular app.
It also opens with:
Please keep in mind that this website is a furry blog, first and foremost, that sometimes happens to cover security and cryptography topics.
I may be cute, but my compulsion to read every line really hampers my ability to complete basic tasks.
Look at the alt text on the original post.
They don’t think it be like that, but it do.

Yeah, that’s where I stopped. Learn another adverb!
Xenia should have been our official mascot. C’mon, Linus, make it happen. The penguin is boring.
Sex sells, Linus.
It’s not even that. The character is a transgender furry. It pretty much represents what Linux is. You have the freedom to modify it and customize it to make it whatever you want it to be and make it yours.
