  • I wouldn’t use a complete macos theme with the logo and everything, but the mac design language does have some pretty nice details that even help usability.

    For example, I love the double outline that macos windows have, the normal darker line and another lighter inside. To me, it really separates windows when I am working with several, and they overlap (I use mac at work), in addition to looking nice and giving some depth. That’s just a little detail, but there are many like that one that is easy to see why someone could appreciate them.

    Obviously it varies from person to person, there’s also stuff that I don’t like, but I do can see why someone would use a theme like that.

    Im approaching the point of a new phone, and I’ve been wondering about what would be the equivalent of an iPhone durability-wise (I’m still seeing iPhones 7 being used daily) but for android. I was actually considering a used pixel but now you left me very confused lmao. It seems the good build quality is not a constant.




  • Amazing how every single part of your comment is so wrong.

    It’s actually a really good analogy,

    Not an analogy, an example. Those two are different things.

    because it can only run on

    No, it can run on many things, including open source collaborative hardware that exists.

    fully-capitalist hardware.

    What the hell even is that? Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary. And now that a lot of effort is being made to get that production out of there, those efforts are being sponsored by public money to an incredible degree. Billions of dollars of taxes (you know, community resources) are being poured into that because big corporations are the biggest lovers of government handouts.




  • Probably not what you had in mind but I won twice in my country’s version of HQ Trivia, total of about $60 usd.

    They kept saying that there were some technical problems and delaying payment. In my country that amount is not nothing but also not a ton of money so I really didn’t bother too much. My brother on the other hand kept calling and emailing until I guess he was a bigger nuisance than it was worth and they finally paid.

    PayPal took an unreasonable chunk, I gave my brother like half for his efforts and I kept like $20. All things considered probably a good way to spend those 20 minutes playing.
