mind the walrus posted:My brief time at Starbucks was legitimately harder on my mind, body, and soul than working terminal inpatient cases and giving life-saving CPR as an aide. gently caress all their poo poo. Not Starbucks, but I had a barista job that was so terribly managed that we would often open without espresso, milk, or bagels - literally everything we sold. I was the opener and would literally beg nearby businesses for milk since none of the managers gave a poo poo if I opened with what I needed. I ended up having a meltdown realizing that I was telling my very first customer of the day "sorry, we only have drip coffee right now". Corporate coffee shops truly are hell on earth

Starbucks' entire early business model was importing the cheapest, shittiest coffee they could and plastering messaging all over the place about how actually this is extremely good coffee and if you don't agree, you don't know anything about coffee. Like, they were intentionally buying bottom-of-the-barrel reject coffee beans that no one else wanted because of how bitter and gross they were. That way, people who got used to drinking Starbucks would declare actual good coffee as "gross" because it's not what they're used to. Also known as the Apple strategy: Make your computer products intentionally obtuse as gently caress and go against everything about industry standard design, then talk it up like you're making things "easier" and if you used the competitors, boy you'd be overwhelmed by everything! That way people who get started on Apple computers will always think PCs are too difficult and complicated! deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Nov 29, 2023 |

My friends who have Macs swear that they're easier to use, but they seem like a pain and I've wondered if it's just because I'm not used to them. On the other hand I do have an iphone and that's pretty streamlined and easy to use, but my needs from a phone are vastly different and simpler than what I need from a computer. Hard to say

I wondered that too. I've only used a mac a couple times for a few minutes each, and was completely frustrated each time. I wasn't sure whether it was actually more of a pain or simplified, but in a "you have to know how to do things our way" kind of setup, though.

I realized the other day that I’ve never even used Windows 11 outside of BrowserStack/SauceLabs browser testing for work, and haven’t used Windows on a daily basis since 2014 and Windows 7. I can’t say that I miss it for what I do on a computer, and that’s probably the important part. Everyone has different needs from their devices.

I'm sure using a Mac is completely feasible, but that's not the question. The few times I've had to use a Mac I found it to be incredibly frustrating. I also find the ridiculous over-streamlining of UIs and the hiding/loss of menus in all modern OSs to be a huge detriment to usability and, while that's not unique to Macs, it means that if I don't know how to do something on a Mac, I probably won't be able to find a god damned menu to be able to suss it out, either. So, if you don't already know how to do something on a Mac, just give up and find a Windows PC to do it on instead.

I use a Mac at home and a PC at work and they’re about the same as far as difficulty to use for me. The only thing I sometimes get hung up on is when I go to close a window and the x is on the other side so it takes me an extra half second to do it. I do think Apple gets higher marks on other devices though like iPhones and iPads for ease of use for your average consumer.

Okular, the KDE PDF reader, has a checkbox you can check if you want to obey DRM restrictions. It's not checked by default. Sorry for posting an uncursed screenshot:  It's probably the purest Linux energy to make DRM opt-in. If you want lots and lots of options, this is where you end up.

On the other hand I do have an iphone and that's pretty streamlined and easy to use, but my needs from a phone are vastly different and simpler than what I need from a computer. Hard to say My very specific example of this is the Apple Pencil. It's a great stylus and drawing on an ipad is sublime. It's a bluetooth stylus. As a long-time PC user who had never used Apple products when I got it, I was completely stumped as to how to pair it with the ipad. I had to look up a guide on how to pair a bluetooth device. The answer is incredibly simple. You could even call it "obvious". You pull the back cap off the pencil and physically plug it into the ipad. That's not "difficult" to do but it completely flies in the face of pairing a goddamn wireless bluetooth device. But it's not actually any "easier" than going into Settings -> Devices and selecting a bluetooth device from the list either, which is the way every other device does it. The only reason it was designed that way is so that people who get used to Apple products will have a hard time switching to non-apple devices because nothing works like they expect it to, based on their experience with Apple's unique design "innovations" which never taught them how to use the same system that every other device and OS uses. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Nov 29, 2023 |

ya’ll are crazy interacting with your operating systems beyond tapping cmd+space or that windows button or whatever and typing out what you want it to open plain and simple like. living that boomer lifestyle. all lost and confused when you swap between desktop environments. can’t figure out what to do because you’re functionally illiterate and someone moved the chrome icon
