I don't know economics, but is there a way to buy stocks in some VPN providers? Seems like they are about to do well.

I have a thory that censoring certain wrds makes the txt read more edgy and illegal, drawing in even more pple for the clickbait.

So a few examples on the first point:

When connected to a virtual desktop at the project me and my collegues are currently working with, the mac has a weird keybinding issue where keys passed through to the virtual image are mixed up. No windows computer has this issue. At my previous project, the same issue occurred for those who used macs to access virtual desktops. Also, some of the shortcuts are consumed by the OS, making them inaccessible.

Connecting to multiple monitors is weird. The hardware at my office allows for daisy-chaining connected to a laptop through a single USB-C. At least for PC. Both my collegues and I have struggles with connecting to the monitors, and typically, we end up having to rewire the screens to have multiple inputs to the mac.

So the things from the top of my head are probably mostly software related, and it might be environmental issues with lack of support in virtualizations and firmware of the office equipment.

Regarding the keyboard issues, it might be a local problem. I use a Norwegian Logitech keyboard, featuring a layout with ÆØÅ and different locations for several symbols compared to the US-layout. So maybe the compability differs because of that.

I'll check out Karabiner for sure, thanks! I use a Vim-plugin for developing and have made a bunch of mappings to reach keys which are mixed up in the virtual desktop. It sounds like Karabiner would fit my workflow well!

I'm out-of-the-loop. Did Drake do something bad?

I respect that muscle memory is a big thing when iit comes to OS preference. I have spent more than a year now to configure to my preferences and build up muscle memory and understanding of my mac. It's just not happening. Small things which were trivial to me on PC suddenly requires my full attention and I feel like I'm spending a ton of energy doing simple things. And I feel the same way when I look over the shoulder of my collegues who are seasoned mac users. Things which I would do in no time on PC seems to take many additional clicks and more time for them as well.

But my biggest issue is the hardware compability. I like my mechanical logitech keyboard, which features a mac layout (physical stamps on keys). But several buttons are mixed up when connected. And the key mapping seemingly varies depending on whether it's connected through bluetooth or usb. As mentioned audio passed through usb-c is not possible to adjust thourgh the default system. I had to download a third party app to adjust volume - which also stinks because the volume at the lowest setting is a lot higher than I want for some cases. My stream deck seems to work with the mac by a coinflip: half of the times I start the machine, it won't connect.

But the thing that really works me up is when I ask people about the hardware issues. The answer is always "you need to buy apple hardware".

And that's where I really fall off. I want to use hardware which I find comfortable to me, but it feels like everything about the mac is trying to make me buy more apple stuff.

In 2017 when I got my dev job, one of the interview questions were about who's your idol. One of the most approved answers was "Elon Musk". It's actually kind of amazing to see how hard his popularity fell since then.

I've been a dev for 7 years. I used a PC for the first 6 years and I switched to a mac the last year.

My experience with mac has been terrible. The file explorer is just horrible to navigate. It took me ages to find the way to go anywhere except the "favorite" folders. Compability with the remote linux-servers has been awful with broken keymappings and shortcuts. Using hardware from any other manifacturer is riddled with bugs. The machine is unable to adjust volume if the audio is passed through usb-c. And I routinely encounter bugs where I'm unable to interact with apps until I restart them. Everything which seemed to work by heuristics on a PC requires a lot of attention on my mac. I don't care if I get a floaty animation and bouncy icon if I minimize a window. I just want alt + tab to actually bring back the apps I select.

I am not getting a mac the next time.

I feel like health insurance companies are putting a lot of pressure on people named Mario right now.

The US system month/day/year is pretty bad, but honestly, so is day/month/year. Pretty much everything else is written from largest to smallest unit. Regular numbers: 123, here 1 is the 100s, 2 is the 10s and 3 is the 1s. In money, when a currency also have smaller units, you always say the largest first. "3 dollars, 50 cents." A digital clock displays the numbers ordered from largest to smallest - 10:45:31. So why are people so proud of the european date format? Writing out a full timestamp would switch from increasing to decreasing units.

ISO-8601 is the only sensible choice.

Football.

So... The murder of a CEO of a horrible company leads to better conditions for everyone?

I would probably break a ton of rules on lemmy to suggest any further actions based on this result, so I'm not going to.

^{But, you know...}

I'm new to this. Does "shitpost" have to be litteral?

Given enough pressure, bucket 1 will never be filled, and it will overflow to 2 and 3. Depending on the flow, 2 could be the first to fill up.

If the faucet pressure and flow is so big that it spills out without filling the bucket, the spill could reach 4. Given that the walls of that bucket are extremely cold, the water could freeze over the drain, making that the first bucket to fill up.

So I would say 4.

I'm convinced it's all just an attempt to improve his statistics, making the average age of people he punches roughly around his own age.

Energy consumption is energy consumption. While you might be connected to a grid where renewable sources are accessible, you are still straining a grid which could cover for an area which uses less clean energy sources.

But it's not like every mining rig is connected to a source of renewable energy. It's untraceable, which is part of the concept behind bitcoin. It should be obvious that a decentralized, untraceable, energy intensive cryptocurrency is not somehow controlled to be driven primarily by green sources.

So I assume you have counter arguments? Or do you just hope that laughing at arguments will win you the discussions?

Are you trying to say that cryptocurrency does not have a negative impact?

It was fun at one point. When collective efforts through the currency put the Jamaican bobsleigh team into the olympics. A time before we collectively realized how terrible crypto is both for economy and environment.

Now it's just sad.
