Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I was only illustrating how Mac hardware is not identically the same as Mac software. They are tied together, yet distinct entities.

    Your lack of recollection neither proves nor disproves anything at all. If you doubt me, look it up? (since surely if I did so for you, you would distrust that as well? 🤪)

    I did not downvote you btw.

    They are tied together, yet distinct entities.

    Yes and no. You can run other software on Mac hardware, but not the other way around.

    Your lack of recollection neither proves nor disproves anything at all.

    I could say the same about your statement.

    If you doubt me, look it up?

    So...I should look up pricing of comparable hardware across the entirety of Apple history because you made a statement you can't back up?

    [–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    I never said I couldn't back it up. I only said that if you wanted to know the answer, you could look. But ofc do whatever you please.

    Or I suppose you could try to goad me yet again into doing your homework for you, and see if that works? (Surely this time, if you keep trying the same action, surely this time things will work out differently than the other time(s)?😜)

    Or you could just think about how likely it is that in the entire history of computing, what are the chances that it was true at least once? Not that it matters, bc I've agreed with you so many times that hardware!=software and that for Macs they are tied together, and Macs are expensive, that I think we've both already forgotten already whatever it was we were talking about. Take the "win" already?

    I never said I couldn't back it up.

    Actions speak louder than words. Or in this case, inaction.

    Or I suppose you could try to goad me yet again into doing your homework for you

    Your homework, not mine.

    Thank you for confirming that you think of me as your bitch. This after all is why I left Reddit - to come here to do exactly the same.

    So, just to be clear, "I think you're my bitch" for expecting you to back up your statements? This is the logic you're going with?

    This after all is why I left Reddit - to come here to do exactly the same.

    If everywhere you go smells like shit, maybe its time to check your shoes?
