Apple can make Chrome book equivalents, they want you to rent compute power not computers.

Natively you’d be able to run VLC on a good day if you’re lucky, but everything else will be online with a subscription attached.

Man, I was hoping to save for a PC but it’s not looking likely any tie soon. At least I have my steamdeck.

Honestly variety is the spice of life, and keeping up with the zeitgeist is half of why people like to be online. I think this is a very good point!

I mean for me it was a recent decision to delete for-profit and algorithmic social media. But that was internally driven as I realised they were making me more miserable and I couldn’t stomach the advertising anymore. But I’ve always failed to replicate that feeling in other people who are stuck in a mixture of sunk cost fallacy and boiled frog status, no idea how to do it consistently.
