I read the Silmarillion, he was sad about the fact that England had no real “mythology” so he made his own

Pretty sure because the “original” fantasy was written as a false history for England (LoTR was this). So it makes sense that the people would bear an English accent

I know, just sanitize it again. .Replace(“&”, &), Regex.Remove(amp;), if(.Contains(“amp;”))

Thank you. I can use Linux. I don’t want to. Plenty of people are still computer illiterate and people forget that. My father uses excel on windows every day for his job, but couldn’t use a mac because he just knows his Windows. He got confused that the taskbar disappeared lol. Linux would blow his mind. Yes, if you’re training someone on the new OS it’d be no different, but so many people only know certain windows programs.

Also, audio SUCKS on Linux (speaking from running PipeWire and ALAX and Pulse). Try explaining to someone how to fix that mess.

Not sure why the devs have so much trouble with parsing this. I’m not sure if it’s an API thing or a front-end issue

Dang, I’m sorry

This just seems like extra steps are added to the already established servers. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I don’t think a server for exclusively tennis will attract many communities

Look, I’m probably the exception here, but someone I know works at a company as a manager. He is more than willing to work with the union guys there with anything, but the real problem is that a lot of them get very lazy. Like, not doing their job lazy. And it’s near impossible to get rid of them because the union will spin it some other way. That’s the one real negative to unions, but they’re not the silver bullet to every industry

For me it does. I have two HDR monitors, neither with exceptional hdr. Both look much better with it on, but I personally like the HDR look that some things have. I can tell when something is washed out, but my RGB has also not been properly calibrated. Regular HDR modes in games suck and make it look like I’m staring at the sun or an old photo. Auto HDR makes fire look brighter

Fair, but I feel my point stands. It’s not like spotlight on Mac, but it actually understands what I want now. I use it mostly to launch programs.

And before someone attacks me: I use all 3 major OSes weekly. Hot takes: Mac doesn’t suck and isn’t incompatible for the majority of tasks, but it does end support for things normal people don’t care about, Linux is not that great when it comes to normal quality of life (not power user stuff, it’s awesome for that), and windows makes things easy to access while somehow making everything behind a million menus and across different menus (but still much easier to change than linux)

HDR support is a big one for me and the reason I switched. APK support is nice. I like the glassy look although that could be achieved on 10 via other means. The search function feels much better to use and it’s nice because I like to use the search function instead of keeping things on my desktop

How so? I’ve always found finder did a good job.

While it won’t make sense for every datacenter, it would be so amazing to walk into one and see something hyper futuristic placed on walls

I have thick hair. I once flipped my hair and cracked my neck

Fair enough, the iPhones are ridiculous, but I was mostly thinking of macs, that’s on me

I got my first mac 7 years ago, the 2017 macbook air. I put that lovely machine through its paces, even got it to run Destiny 2 and gta 5 at one point. Until last year I was issued a work laptop and it’s windows. I have a windows desktop at home, but Mac just works with my slightly chaotic flow better.

Thanks. Their repair pricing is obnoxious, I’ll give you that, but their pricing model really isn’t ridiculous otherwise. For the performance you get it’s great. I’m willing to bet most companies source their alumni from the same place, but my only genuine issue is that MacOS is a great piece of software. I still like Catalina/Mojave myself, but the newer variations are still good. Do you have specific gripes with the OS?

Genuine question, why be avid anti-apple? I’m a mac fan, but I still use Linux and windows in my daily life. I’be never understood the anti-mac hate

I’m so English I got it right first try 😎😎😎

Yeah, if it’s ads that’s one thing, but getting your news from one demographic of news provides far too much confirmation bias
