  • I like it a lot. The initial move was predicated by working in the entertainment industry and all the shows coming through our theater needed qlab.

    But after that I started using it for personal use. I was unable to move my photoshop cs6 license over because I have been unable to get a copy of it in 64bit. But I have since switched to affinity. It has a steep learning curve, but I mostly use it for graphics for my shop so it does what I need it to do.

    I have been using libre office since forever, that moved over with me.

    Before getting my MacBook Pro I was doing most of my gaming on my ps5, so I am not missing a lot there. But most of the games I do play are available on the Mac (No Man’s Sky, FF14, Palia, mudlet, Apico, Mudborne).

    When I connect a monitor it works, when I connect a TV through my 4x4 matrix it works.




  • Wdym with linux can be broken?

    Linux mint kept harassing me to install the official drivers for my wireless card, so I did. It broke my ability to use WiFi.

    I told Linux while in presentation mode I did not want the screen to sleep, it took that as sleep after 5 minutes.

    Every time the laptop sleeps/restarts my screen resolution is borked, half the time the correct resolutions are not available and I have to disconnect all my monitors, restart, then connect the monitors.

    Most solutions I hear are use a different distro, learn command line, you should not be using Linux if you cannot fix this stuff.

    That is what i mean when I say Linux can be broken.





  • Is it though?

    Every artist, performer and creator on Patreon is about to get screwed out of 30% of their gross revenue, which will be diverted to Apple

    Yes, it makes it sound as though everyone is about to start losing the 30% to Apple No matter how their subscribers pay. Which if you read patreon’s blog post you will see is not the case.


  • Apple’s fee will not impact your existing members. It will only affect new memberships purchased in the iOS app from November onward.

    Which is contradictory to the first line of the linked essay. Does it suck? Yes. But the author of this “article” is trying to build anti-Apple outrage with this piece. Let’s not pretend any company is altruistic. Even Patreon takes a cut.

    Who is trying to game on a mac? Their hardware blows for gaming.

    I am. And there is no closed ecosystem on Macs, I can download a game or program from a website and install it. Most of us run the windows version of a game, or dual boot into windows and run games that way.

    Just because you do not like or understand something does not make it invalid.
