It’s the built-in browser for sync for Lemmy on android

Maybe he knew none of the information could harm him if someone got hold of it?

Nah desktop mothership, server star command and laptop UFO.

I feel like UFO would make more sense for laptop due to it being portable, but I get it is because the desktop is Alienware

Windows: Ad Ridden

macOS: Not Enough Freedom Apparently

Linux: Community Arguments

Every OS has issues.

That page is full of pop-ups.

Perhaps rather than saying it’s stupid, you can just say “it’s not for me” as I stated I’ve been a long term Linux user, installing everything from Arch to Void, I even did a brief stint using LFS, I enjoy Linux however I prefer macOS, but I don’t go around saying I hate Linux because I don’t there is nothing wrong with it, i just prefer the way macOS works and that is a preference.

Likely macOS is just not the correct choice for you.

Use Opencore. Apple stopping support for older devices makes logical sense, technology progresses, maintaining legacy devices can become tedious and leaves the team with less time to focus on their current devices and versions.

Opencore allows you to update to the latest version of macOS even if not supported. However be aware that it isn’t Apple certified but an open source project so your mileage may vary.

For your final point the Mac’s I have used have been incredibly capable machines that I’ve been able to configure endlessly and run a large variety of languages and tools without many issues. They have sane defaults, are configurable, powerful and they run smoothly.

As a Linux user who moved to Mac, it’s not even remotely dumb.

Yeah I feel like that just defeats the purpose of it though, in that case just install Debian.

Yeah I am interested in Cosmic DE.

I liked the feel of Pop_OS!, the setup and configuration are great, but damned it was unappealing looks wise for me.

Mint is just green Ubuntu.

Yeah an extension is no more trustworthy than the source providing it, network level adblock which you can monitor completely is probably the correct route

Yeah however for mass adoption this is a terrible idea, there is already the extra step to choose an instance versus a regular social media that is just one link and one button.

I know for people like you and I choosing an instance isn’t that big of a deal, nor is an extra extension (though i try to use as few as possible) but for a regular user it might cause issues.

The issue with an extension ls is it requires an install, getting everyone to install one extension is a hard task.

c/unixsocks and c/unixporn seem to be rather trans dense populations as well.

Ubuntu

Honestly I don’t usually use an image viewer, I just needed to check which screenshots to upload as I accidentally took some extra ones.

Ah it’s all just managed in GitHub with some Ansible playbooks which run all my setup tasks, it used to be a POSIX sh script and might be again one day but Ansible works really well… You can see it here

Yeah SwayFX has a really good blur, which is nice.
