Absolutely one of my favorite james acaster quotes! His whole Netflix special, “Repertoire” is just fantastic
My wife uses Arch (actually). She calls it the internet, when she really means Facebook. She knows it isn’t Apple but it gets a bit vague after that!
The last time I had to fire up the Mesh Central client to sort something out on her desktop from work was around three months ago. Every couple of weeks I ssh into it, update it and schedule a reboot for 03:00.
That’s torture and is outlawed by the geneva convention (btw)
Penguin people for sure know theirs
And they’ll tell you about it every time.
As if apple users had no fuckin clue
weeeeelllllllll …

Worked in a repair shop long enough to know that a whole lot of mac users just know they bought a “better computer” without any idea of what an operating system is, someone showed them that the photo they took on their phone magically appeared on their computer and that was all the info they needed to pay 2 grand for it
My mom is tech illiterate and I buy all her devices for her. If I gave her a Mac she’ll just use it without knowing what OS it is.
Personally, if you can’t tell me if you are running Windows or MacOS, I don’t really want you downloading my software
Why? Are you feeling bad about all the adware you bundled in?
You mean, there are still websites that don’t auto-detect what OS you’re running and make you actually choose?
I literally bought the wrong version of a game called Heretic on Amazon in the early 2000s because it “had a cool penguin on it” lmao
I’m in this picture :)
Arch btw ;)
