  • Like I said in my earlier examples…
    People who play videogames, people who use plugins with their DAW’s, people who purchased software before it became subscription-based.
    Literally anyone who wants to continue running mac software built before 2020 will be affected.

    I doubt anyone will become homeless over it, but that was never the argument being made.

    And I believe you when you say you won’t personally be affected by it, but that doesn’t mean nobody else in the world will want to run mac apps that are >7 years old.


  • I never said you couldn’t exist or voice your opinion.
    You said you found it strange that people are more accepting of windows so I provided a possible explanation for why. Simple as that.

    It’s ok to disagree. I don’t care what OS or software you use, that’s your choice to make.

    What I meant by apple only adding arm support in 2020 is that 2020 software isn’t that old, yet will soon stop working on the latest macOS because it was compiled before macOS supported arm.

    My bad for unintentionally changing ‘theoretical’ to ‘hypothetical’. The fact still stands that it’s not a theoretical or hypothetical issue, it’s happened multiple times in the past and will happen again soon.


  • That’s fine if you aren’t affected, but many people were and will be again soon.

    Games are a notable example of ‘timeless’ software that can still be relevant decades after release.
    And VST plugins for DAW’s.
    And programs you could buy outright without a subscription (eg adobe suite).

    Arm support in macOS has only been around since 2020, which is much more recent than 30 years ago.
    It’s not hypothetical either, apple publicly announced they will begin removing rosetta support with macOS 28.
    Whether or not that personally affects you does not determine how others feel about it.

    I wasn’t trying to be silly or petty, just providing a possible explanation for why people might prefer windows over macOS.
    You seem to have taken that personally for whatever reason.




  • Did acid once, this was my experience:

    There were the typical effects like motion trails, moving patterns, etc, but honestly most of the effects were more tied to my emotional state than anything else.
    When I was feeling good, things look brighter, a little blurrier, softer, maybe a little more wavy, and I felt happier and more confident.

    But when I was feeling bad, things looked sharper, more intense, and with higher contrast. Small smudges on the wall would stand out, and I felt vulnerable like I was a little kid.

    Sounds were more intense and louder, almost like they were coming out of my head.
    Music was too intense for me at the peak, but it was great during the come down. It sounded really spatial like the music was all around me.

    My emotions could easily be swayed by the most insignificant things, like the colour of a light, a gust of wind, etc…

    It constantly felt like I was moving forward/progressing though. Something that made me ‘sad’ 20 seconds ago felt like it happened a long time ago.
    Any current problems felt like they had already passed, because I’d already been on the rollercoaster of emotions processing them. It was like a “I’ve felt everything there is to feel about that, time to move on” sort of thing.








  • Subtract rent, bills, gas, savings for maintenance, etc.
    Your food budget is much smaller than $1160/month, so why not take <10 seconds to make sure you aren’t overpaying?
    Plus it’s just annoying having to go back to the store sooner because you have less eggs than you needed.








  • I never said you did, and it’s perfectly normal to be curious.
    It’s just that blind people have to answer these same uninformed questions all the time, and it can be tiring.

    Saying you did look it up seems worse to me than saying you didn’t.
    One acknowledges a lack of effort, the other implies notable effort and failure at a relatively simple task.
    No judgement intended, I’m just trying to instill some introspection. I’ll leave you be now.
