Cmd+Ctrl+Spacebar on Mac

I agree. I definitely noticed that the event (correctly) targeted people who are still on Intel. A few YouTubers laughed about the Intel references, comparing them to breaking up with an ex, but I think that was the right call.

It'll pick up again, I'm sure. The M1 family fixed almost everything wrong with the Mac, so people were eager to get it, and now we're set for a while. I'm personally going to hold onto my M1 Pro for at least a couple more years.

Yeah, everybody who wants an iPhone has one, and most people aren't upgrading every year, despite what the stereotypes say.

And as far as the Mac goes, most people who wanted Apple Silicon upgraded when the M1 was the hot new thing. People held off on buying a new Mac in the latter half of the 2010s because of the keyboard and thermal issues, and once Apple Silicon was announced at WWDC in 2020, we knew the Intel Macs' days were numbered. Most of us bought an M1-based Mac once the model we wanted came out, since the M1 models essentially fixed what was wrong with the Mac.

Still blows my mind that a co-founder of a popular (at the time) site decided to copy a guy who knows nothing about social media and is running it into the ground.

Yeah, I know spez is an asshole, but it's still bizarre.

Sure, because everybody who owns a computer, tablet, or smartphone is a web dev. Obviously.

Yet another Linux-first OEM that sells nvidia's garbage. No thanks.

If it's any consolation, the owner of Squabbles, the site a ton of people praised during the Great Rexxit because Lemmy is too confusing, changed the name to Squabblr and fired all the other admins because he doesn't believe in hate speech.

No, people don't want to spend $60,000+ for a disposable car that you can't drive in the rain.

I had three accounts at one point, but lately I've only been using this one. The first instance I tried could never see any content because it was small. I then joined lemmy.world, and I could see plenty of content... when it wasn't down. But this instance seems to be working well for me.

I wouldn't be surprised if the active user count could have been explained by people trying different instances.

I have a System76 Kudu from 2018. I won't buy anything from them again, honestly. It was overpriced for what it was, and the screen is awful. And it still has features that only work on Windows 10. Not at all what I expected from a company that claims to be Linux-first.
