- hizanberg 24d agoOther than being a proprietary OS that's getting more locked down every year, its disk performance is trash. https://x.com/theo/status/2090528543746965991 https://x.com/theo/status/2090528543746965991
- Doctor_Fegg 24d agoAh, the irony of posting "Your Mac is slowing you down" on the bloated JS hellsite that is X. That page took 10s to appear on my machine (before even thinking of rendering the video) whereas the HN front page is <1s.
- Aurornis 24d agoDo you have a non-video, non-X summary of what he’s talking about? I’m not watching a 31 minute video on X to figure out what this is about. Theo is another influencer who thrives on being contrarian, embellishing negative claims about things he’s not pumping right now, and trying to get everyone to ignore negative things about what he is pumping. I would not trust his judgment on topics like this without some third party benchmarks and deeper claims because the first priority of influencers in this category is to be contrarian and ride divisive topics. Being factually correct is secondary.
- hombre_fatal 24d agoLots of small fs operations on macOS is apparently rough. I use nix on macOS and any time it's making changes to /nix/store, the Finder and fsevents processes peg cpu. IIRC his video shows fs-heavy ops like file deltions and pnpm install taking much longer on a macbook despite better specs. Frankly, things like the lack of a universal cmd-c/v clipboard on linux has been 1000x worse for usability than slower bulk fs.
