I’ve been using ARM Debian desktop stably for a long time. I don’t see what the issue is, am I missing something or is this just his hardware choice?

yep, dripping in AI. It's a real problem, so many projects are adding features at breakneck speed, but with so many bugs and so little understanding. Maybe that's just how it all works now, but I don't like it.

What you've said is emotionally compelling, but scientifically very weak. Personal recollection is selective and location-specific. You’ve described a memory, not established a mechanism. What you perceive as change isn't macro, i

yep aren't most fridges and ovens etc using 386DXs? Maybe it's all ARM Cortex now? I thought the 386 was still in production.

If iOS/macOS 27 isn't a snow leopard I'm gone too, I've been a user for nearly 30 decades... fuck this, it's all so sloppy, too many grievances to even begin enumerating.

Tahoe is a nightmare. I’m Literally not buying a new Mac because of it. Dye destroyed macOS. I don’t know what they do, but they have to backtrack.
