I’ve been using ARM Debian desktop stably for a long time. I don’t see what the issue is, am I missing something or is this just his hardware choice?

yep, dripping in AI.

It's a real problem, so many projects are adding features at breakneck speed, but with so many bugs and so little understanding.

Maybe that's just how it all works now, but I don't like it.

What you've said is emotionally compelling, but scientifically very weak. Personal recollection is selective and location-specific. You’ve described a memory, not established a mechanism.

What you perceive as change isn't macro, it's micro.

It doesn't mean macro change isn't happening, but it's not happening on our timescale.

I'm 50 FWIW.

Climate also doesn't change in macro over a lifetime.

It's very real, but the notion that it's changing over a 5 year period is nonsense.

things aren't "shutting off".

yep aren't most fridges and ovens etc using 386DXs?

Maybe it's all ARM Cortex now? I thought the 386 was still in production.

Great now just need the same for the window corners and ridiculous Finder overlays.

I am repulsed by Tahoe's new design language.

I live in the vain hope that macOS 27 restores some sanity, at least maybe removes these clownish corner radiuses.

It makes the entire OS look like the Palm Pre's app switcher.

you can't run models that are bigger than 16GB, not comparable.

sure the GPU isn't 4090 tier in compute, but the memory let's you run 120bn param models at usable speeds.

If iOS/macOS 27 isn't a snow leopard I'm gone too, I've been a user for nearly 30 decades... fuck this, it's all so sloppy, too many grievances to even begin enumerating.

Tahoe is a nightmare. I’m Literally not buying a new Mac because of it.

Dye destroyed macOS. I don’t know what they do, but they have to backtrack.
