    I’m always really impressed on how Apple can walk on a thin line, right in between “Oh, that’s a really cool feature I didn’t know I needed” and “Are we living in a fucking dystopian world ?”

    Jesus Christ is there no where on the internet where people that actually like apple can talk?

      I think going to an open source, anti capitalistic, anti monopoly, consumer friendly, privacy oriented social media platform is the wrong place to go fanboy about apple lmao

      I don’t think there are many apple fanboys here. Maybe people that are fans of the products, but definitely not a lot of people who love the company

        Well to me you sound like a bunch of whiny babies that contribute nothing but negativity.

          What are you contributing with this post?

          Is criticism not a contribution?

          edit: i’ve been reading through this thread, I don’t think anyone has unnecessarily shit on apple, i think the closest thing to that was someone saying they smell of their own farts

          You’re really overreacting to nothing.

        Well yeah. Mac even had widgets since like 2007. I think they removed them at some point.

        But this supports all iOS widgets it looks like, so I suppose the ecosystem will be significantly better than any other platform

          Yeah, I think Steve Jobs cooled on Widgets for a while, but there was someone at Apple who still believed in them and was finally able to convince people of their worth.

      The widgets do have continuity, so you can have an app just on your phone and see the widget on you mac, so for instance, i can have the Myfitnesspal widget on my mac to see my hydration just there on the desktop.

    Hard to care about anything iMessage-related as long as it’s not cross-platform.

      Yep. All these proprietary sharing features don’t interest me. I want cross platform airdrop.

      Edit: I use https://localsend.org/ for this currently, but I whish there would be a native and open way for ios/android and other systems.

    Strange, since I can afford Macbook pros with real specs not the entry level joke, I am not interested in those anymore. :/ Notch, lack of ports, glued … Fragile in the sense that I would be dead inside if I scratched the chassis.

    maybe a second hand model… dunno

      Notch is really something that you forget is there 5 seconds into using. Ports are actually fairly numerous, at least compared to the previous models. 3x USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, HDMI, SD card, headphone. Plus the mag-safe charger so you don’t have to use a USB-C port to charge (but you still can).

        Nope sorry, I just had a case this weekend where a RJ45 would have saved me a day. There are classic USB-3 on my partner’s laptop but strangely, those refused to power up two different 1TiB mechanical drive.

        Latest thinkpad t14 gen3 sports a full size rj45. thus, it is not impossible to have thin laptop and the right connectivity.
