  • CNN has also been pretty good at calling in members of the new independent YouTube media like Brian Tyler Cohen as commentators to ROYALLY FUCK UP these mealy-mouthed propaganda parrots from the MAGAsphere, and it's glorious.

    Here he is just slitting the throat of bleach-blonde fembots like MAGA parrot Katie Zachariah:

  • I hope I was able to clear things up

  • Seems like a bug that some people experience. I guess I’m just one of the lucky ones that do not.

    I’m very sorry that you experience this.

    This is one of the weird quirky things that happens sometimes with Apple stuff – – a small group of people were experience a persistent quirky behavior/bug, and because 95% of people don’t experience it, it will largely go underdressed.

    I fully understand and appreciate how such a tiny thing can become an aggressively, huge annoyance.

    But something you brought up in your first comment: it generates an entire ecosystem of FOSS (sometimes not, looking at you iStat devs) developers who create fascinating little software projects to deal with these little annoyances and quirks, and almost all of these little software projects are incredibly clever and innovative, and can sometimes be software developers first projects. Over the decades, I have come to lovingly refer to them as “crack developers” because they develop software to fill the cracks in the otherwise “flawless” macOS façade.

  • I didn’t say it wasn’t verbal sewage; I said:

    it’s not just verbal sewage

    And used that as a pretext delve into specifics.

    Clearly, you misunderstood what I was saying

  • Well, it wasn’t just verbal sewage coming out of his mouth, it was abject lies, combined with a whole bunch of personal attacks against her in particular, and she just wasn’t having it. His hypocrisy and double standards… He was practically slapping her in the face with them and daring her not to call him out, and she called his bluff, all right. It was plain as day for every viewer to see. And when she did it, he had the temerity to call her unfair. It was outrageous, and she made him look like a complete buffoon.

    It was quite refreshing.

  • I’m not exactly sure what you mean by that

  • I’m glad the interviewer really stood up to him and pushed back, for what it was worth

  • I assure you, this is not default behavior. I use three different pairs of Bluetooth headphones on my new M4, MacBook Pro, and it does not do this. I’ll dig around and see if I can find the setting which may be stupidly hidden somewhere, and I’ll let you know if I find it. I can definitely understand how this could be extremely annoying.

    What brand of headphones are you using?

  • I’ve been running Macs for 30 years, and I use Bluetooth headphones too, I’ve never had that happen before. There has to be some setting somewhere that’s causing this to happen, and I assure you it’s not on by default.

  • See, I’m speaking of macOS separate from Apple hardware, as a piece of software. But I guess most people don’t see those as separate things.

    I hadn’t really considered that.

  • So, the idea of a product they made 25 years ago, not actually the reality of anything they’re doing today… That’s what informs your entire opinion of Apple now?

    I get what you’re coming from, I just don’t find that a rational position to hold anymore.

    I mean, I don’t disagree with you about those original iMacs, but even back then, they still made some pretty great other computers that were very popular, too. That was just a single product at the time. They also brought UNIX/BSD to the masses with Mac OS X while massively contributing to FOSS projects (and still do).

    Again, I’m not denying that Apple has certainly done some terrible things and is a pretty shitty company with their proprietary, bullshit, etc., etc. etc. And I’m liking macOS less and less with each iteration, and my next computer very likely won’t be a Mac for the first time in probably 30 years.

    I just find it weird that, between Windows and macOS, one is clearly far better than the other, but macOS gets far more hate here than windows seems to. So much so, that even discussing it is hardly tolerated. but you’ve kind of answered my question a little bit – it’s not macOS itself, it’s how much people hate Apple. But even still, isn’t Microsoft so much worse than Apple?

    Maybe it’s for the same reason that red hat and SuSE are rarely spoken of around here: it’s some sort of some sort of same-side betrayal by Apple?

  • That’s a very generous assessment, but I assure you, he’s just a fucking idiot.

  • They’re combining their powers to start a whole new grift. Make no mistake, they haven’t changed, they’re just the first rats jumping a sinking ship. Alex Jones has already turned on him, too, and is calling for his impeachment, lol

    I bet Joe Rogan will be next

  • I find it very strange how windows is somewhat more tolerated than macOS on Lemmy, especially considering how windows is unusable shit, and macOS is actually a pretty decent BSD distro— yet, merely mentioning it gets near-universal ire.

    Yes, I know that macOS has its downsides, but Windows has a 10,000 times more problems with it, but discussions of it are tolerated

    Edit: I wanna thank everybody for taking part in a very insightful discussion. I believe I’ve gotten my answer, or at least gotten much closer to one.

  • I’m viewing this in the iOS app Mlem. But I guess it is a bug/misinterpretation by the app— here it is on the mobile site:

    Very rarely, I have seen this before. Some instances do filter certain keywords, and replace it with the word ‘removed’ in italics, which triggered my app.

    Instances in certain countries (like feddit.de in Germany) have to obey local laws about certain no-no words I think.

  • For those confused as to why “macOS” and “Mac OS X” are listed separately, it’s likely because different browsers list macOS differently. But they both refer to macOS— putting it at 29.74% market share, higher than it’s ever been (it’s usually hovered around 23%-25% in the past)

    That means both Linux and macOS growth are coming from users fleeing Windows like the plague.

  • WTF? Something you said got “censored”

  • That’s what I thought at first, too, but i remembered that these statistics are typically gathered via browser machine id reporting, so…

    Safari probably reports as “macOS“ and I bet Firefox and chrome report as “Mac OS X“

  • Why use Debian for servers over Fedora?
