Semi-Hemi-Demigod

And 9% of the rest would just be griefing them

80% of my work is on websites, and the other 20% is in a text editor or terminal. As long as I could map my old keyboard shortcuts I don’t see why not.

I would advise you not to judge a platform from what trouble inexperienced users get into with incompatible software.

I’ve been seriously using a Mac for over 20 years in my career across the tech industry and I respectfully disagree.

No offense taken! There are a lot of justifiable reasons why people would avoid Apple products, I just don’t think the desktop OS is one of them.

My very minimal experience with an in store mac-book has cautioned me away from the fisher-price OS

Saying it’s a Fisher-Price OS is like saying Linux is Fisher-Price because people have anime themes.

It’s Unix under the hood. It’s just as much a “real” operating system as any desktop Linux distro. It just looks nice.

From a digital model

Get ready for analog printing, boys.

Also, if I move to New York, what then? I have to keep it in PA for two weeks?

As long as I don’t have to use it, sure.

This sounds more like me than “hipster.” It’s not that I like things that then get popular, only to not like them. I like things that haven’t been and will never be popular, just because I like them. I’d love if people started enjoying the things I like because it would help them survive.

Anybody have something they hate they want me to buy so it can be destroyed?

What is it with me and using the least popular thing. I’m sitting here on a Mac, writing Ruby, and posting on Kbin. All my favorite shows get cancelled. None of my favorite musicians are terribly well known. Every new car looks horrible to me.

I think if you want something to be successful, make it as unappealing to me as possible.

I’m on Kbin, what should I wiggle?

I’ve been a Mac user since OS 1.0 so Windows has stopped making sense to me. Whenever I try anything it’s like working on a car where all the bolts turn the wrong way.

Plus I haven’t bought a Mac in years. My job buys them and I get to keep them when I leave.

I work primarily on Linux machines, have four Linux servers in my closet running a bunch of services, and do tech support on Linux for sysadmins.

But my daily driver is a Mac for the reasons you mention.

It’s a bit like the 80s or 90s when we had to rely on the porn we could scavenge. Kids today do not know the significance of a Sears catalog.

I’m way less mad about Kbin having issues than I ever was at Reddit

I don’t care that the fediverse has a ton of traffic. It may not have the most users, but it definitely has the best

All the other services I have running are on a server in my closet, which I access with a web browser from other devices. Calibre needing to run on my workstation is a big shift in that workflow. Especially because all the rest of my media is sitting on that server.

Also, UX of open source desktop apps is… lacking. They don’t look good, and they don’t feel good to use. But that might be because I’m picky and spoiled by decades of using a Mac.

I definitely don’t want more Electron apps. About the only things I want to run locally is a browser, a text editor, and a terminal.

I tried that but you need a Calibre library first, and that requires using Calibre AFAIK

vnc-style web interface

That’s still not what I’m looking for. What’s wrong with good old HTML?

I would really love a version of Calibre that ran in a web browser instead of a desktop app
