Mac really has jumped the usability

2023-10-22 18:20:01.894215+02 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Mac really has jumped the usability shark and gone completely into the "extort subscription out of users" mode. Charlene is describing some of her frustrations this morning, and... she's ready to go back to Linux.

I'm sure missing Linux.

I don't want to buy new laptops for all of the direct cost and ewaste and consumerism reasons, but as much as we bought these machines so we can run my work product on them, Mac is just too non-deterministic about UI features for everyday use.

I'm loving my personal Linux bubble. But everything I do is Linux related.

Even Xcode has ads for their Cloud features.
