Great comment

ah fair enough, thanks for the response!

that’s fair, i’ll definitely have to see what the changes to my workflow are

no I think it’s, um actually, only when parents tell their kids in china / s <— to indicate it’s sarcasm

maybe bring back totalitarian and use it against countries like the US? have a word that, like Huey P. Newton said regarding coining the term ‘pig’ for police, “highlights the contradiction”, in this case, between the selective usage of a word and it’s inherent meaning, none of which is understandable without contradictions from a prescriptive linguistic context

wait i have something relevant to say too…

hmm… HMM, could i ask do you prefer USB-C because of power delivery?

when I use a windows laptop, I don’t really take over my Mac habits (e.g. CMD-OPT-ESC, or using 4 finger pinch or 3 finger swipe up or down), however when using a MacBook even when remoting in to a windows computer I automatically use what I am used to on my MacBook.

do you find that you have some frustration with the user experience and interfacing with asahi linux on your MacBook? i.e. you use the gestures lets say that you would use and they don’t work, or rather, you could make it work but it’s too much trouble.

if it’s a painless kind of switch over, then I think I would be willing to learn or relearn or customize the desktop environment to my liking even if it took a bit of time. however if it’s bug-laden and ‘appears’ to be too much like macOS on the onset, it would probably be more trouble than it’s worth at the moment to use as a daily driver (dual booting in this case would make it even more confusing to demarcate for me).

so yeah that’s a lot to ask you for what your thoughts & experiences were…

hmm, yeah dual boot sounds like a good idea, thanks for sharing your experience!

True, yeah I think I saw that mentioned somewhere, thanks for the heads up!

ah crud, don’t do this to me! wilson!!

In Econ there’s opportunity cost, I think that’s what companies end up losing, the greater profit they could have made (if they were like a bit less short term oriented).

I’m a fan of Alan Moore’s comments on superhero media’s relation to fascism. Quoted bit below:

And he now looks with dismay on the way the superhero genre in which he once worked has eaten the culture. “Hundreds of thousands of adults [are] lining up to see characters and situations that had been created to entertain the 12-year-old boys – and it was always boys – of 50 years ago. I didn’t really think that superheroes were adult fare. I think that this was a misunderstanding born of what happened in the 1980s – to which I must put my hand up to a considerable share of the blame, though it was not intentional – when things like Watchmen were first appearing.

The relevant bit in bold:

He thinks that’s not just infantile but dangerous. “I said round about 2011 that I thought that it had serious and worrying implications for the future if millions of adults were queueing up to see Batman movies. Because that kind of infantilisation – that urge towards simpler times, simpler realities – that can very often be a precursor to fascism.” He points out that when Trump was elected in 2016, and “when we ourselves took a bit of a strange detour in our politics”, many of the biggest films were superhero movies.
