  • Will probably get flamed to death for this, but… a few months ago I’ve decided to try Ubuntu on an older Intel MacBook Pro, just to try it out after many attempts in the past. (Mac user here)

    Then I tried to use the trackpad. After 30 minutes of fiddling I gave up. Say what you want about Apple’s UX choices, esthetics and business practices. But boy do they know how to produce a computer and UX combo that fits like a glove.

    In comparison, the Ubuntu experience was like eating nails.

    And before y’all go off; I would like to switch. I’m getting tired of Apple’s business practices.

  • As the article notes; the world at large greatly underestimates the consequences of a move from Xi. I would say the prospect of the Taiwanese blowing up their factories instead of bowing to the will of Bejing is not really that far fetched. But perhaps I’m wrong, and would Taiwan also have many people with the same soft spine that many in the west are showing when it comes down to weaning off our reliance on fossil fuels.
