Gonna put on MSNBC 24/7 instead. Ah, someone already did that for me!

I’ve actually gone with Cync. No hub. Setup requires Bluetooth, but isn’t required for use. Works remotely. VPN isn’t causing issues. I exclusively use my phone for control. Works perfectly fine.

Alternatively, alarmier alarm clock.

I have played and enjoyed every single Final Fantasy game. Even XIII has some great stuff going for it. The series strong suit is that it’s never stale. Each game is a fresh, new take on a somewhat familiar net of design philosophies.

My favourite is XII. I love its job and gambit system, as well as the world design and music. IX comes just a tiny bit short, then V, probably.

I thought they practically were already.

Consider the following: DMT

It’s a vibe.

They forgot to put a balanced output jack in place of it.

Wait, Sony’s phones have unlockable bootloaders? If I’d known that, I would have bought one.

No, my browser (Mullvad) clears everything upon quit. I quit every time I get on a new “subject”.

Either use tree tabs, or just close it when you’re done.

Open all links in new tabs.

Remember! Plastic is in your brain.

“Garnet’s gonna be here, isn’t she?”

Garnet.

“It’s a Willem Dafoe deepfake, isn’t it?”

Yes. Call me clairvoyant.

Yeah. I don’t have an iPhone anymore due to this downward trend. I still think macOS holds up well now, though, despite their insistence on killing off old app support for no reason.

Also, I’m a musician. Linux has nothing up to par with Logic, and going Windows is utterly stupid. Best option right now, or I’m out my literal largest hobby… unless I start making stuff oldschool style.

Not gonna lie. If I had the equipment and knowledge, I would.

…The speck of dust comment was, I kid you not, a direct reference to Louis Rossmann. I avoid GrapheneOS due to one of his videos. I use GrayJay. I suggest his repair store to others. The point is the outward build quality–the body–and not smaller internal components. Others are undeniably better… but my hands aren’t touching those components. They’re touching the shell. Keyboard. Trackpad. Glass. That was the point being made.

In other words… ratio.

EDIT: I’m searching Kagi for anything related to the trackpad comment… and this just seems unsubstantiated. Apple doesn’t own gestures. Nothing burger here. Quite a shame. I was ready for a heated debate, but dinner’s already been served.

1. Best trackpads. By far. Gaming? Use a controller. I will die on this hill.
2. All of their OSes are a great user experience. They’re stable, they’re intuitive, and–most importantly–they’re aesthetically pleasing.
3. Logic Pro.
4. Actually, basically every app that Apple makes is pretty good. I would swap out the majority of the software on my Pixel for Apple apps if it wasn’t proprietary and exclusive.
5. iPhone videos are outstanding. My Pixel can’t match my old 13 Pro’s video, and it’s a newer phone. Photos are also slightly worse here, but not after some editing.
6. Objectively better build quality if you ignore planned obscelecense. My MacBook just feels well built. It feels sturdy and durable even if a speck of dust can kill the display, and every factor of the build is just better than anything else available. Phones are mostly up to spec, but my Pixel just doesn’t feel as nice as my old iPhone, especially the objectively worse button and camera layout.

Mostly everything else? No. I can’t install cool FOSS projects on my phone, or know what’s running on it. I prefer Linux as an OS, but not any DE compared to macOS. I’ve also had some periods where stuff doesn’t just work, such as iCloud fucking my free space and wiping almost my entire system when I try to fix the issue as per instructions I was given by an employee. Then, there’s just that Apple is gross. I don’t need to explain that, or anything about repair. Else… the closed source software is excellent closed source software. The unrepairable, proprietary hardware is excellent hardware.

They’re just a few steps from being better than any other company or project… a couple of several thousand mile long steps.

Does a small handful of things extremely well, is otherwise stupidly limited by choice and costs way too much.

Think different, even if it means thinking worse.

But it looks cluttered, as previously mentioned. No way to make a circle fit more radians in the same space, unless… God, my head hurts already.

HOW CAN I BE SO BRAZEN THE WALTER BREAKING BAD WHITE GIF DOESN’T EVEN EMBED PROPERLY 😭😭😭😭😭
