BBS were cute. However the costs and connection speeds were pretty brutal.

Yes, but it was a cassette. Loading programs took ages, but we watched TNG on broadcast tv in the meantime.

Newgrounds was an amazing treasure trove of creativity and games.

The interview is from 2007. Interesting points of identity and nation.

Nevertheless a recommendation. The Zapatistas and Rojava are the most successful real world projects of non authoritarian socialism around.

If you configure the Mac mini with a decent amount of RAM, it will last for a decade of use.

Yes, it’s not cheap. Apple makes you pay in money, what you gain in convenience and time.

Rewe hat bei mir ne schlechtere Auswahl als der halb so große Edeka.

Als jemand der Arm und arbeitslos ist, kann ich dir sagen das Alkohol billig ist. Natürlich nicht in der richtigen Kneipe, aber beim Kiosk um die Ecke kostet das kalte Bier 1,50 € bis 2 €. Das können wir Harzer uns leisten. Im Supermarkt billiger Schnaps und Wein ist auch billig.

Also wenn man kein starker Säufer ist, dann ist Alk schon erschwinglich.

macOS has far better desktop applications across the board than Linux. What you get for free with a Mac is nothing to sneeze at:

• a full office suite Pages, Keynote, Numbers, all of which are very nice. - The default PDF viewer has many functions that allow you to edit and modify PDFs easily.
• GarageBand is a full featured DAW that gets you pretty far with music making at home.
• iMovie a super easy and performant video editor.

Sure Linux has replacements for all these, but they aren’t as nice to use, reliable, or fully featured. macOS has tons of commercial and FOSS applications are available as well.

The indie software scene on the Mac is pretty strong. Omni group deserves a mention with their excellent tools. Also applications like Git Tower and Kaleidoscope are such a joy to use and powerful.

Linux attracts lots of programmers, but it’s difficult to make a living by building a good desktop application. I hope that changes.

Linux on the desktop has other strengths, especially since it lacks the enshittyfication that had plagued macOS for a couple of years now.

Microsoft and Apple see disregarding, that an OS should get out of your way and enable you to get stuff done. To them it’s more of an opportunity to seek subscription services.

Linux on the other hand costs no money. That’s a huge advantage, especially when switching.

Sugar can be useful to quickly get energy to continue exercising, especially cardio.

Sweeteners are no issue at all.

Es gab auch eine Zeit, in der man sich die Navigation online am PC erstellt hat und dann auf Papier ausgedruckt. Mit dem Stapel Papier hat man dann navigiert.
