Apple introduces $599 MacBook No.
(I actually think it looks pretty good. I just thought this was funny.)

@maxleibman

cheaper than most of their phones...how much ram does it have?

@noondlyt 8 GB. Which does give me pause—on a modern Mac, I'm not that worried about that now (I used an M1 Mac mini with 8 GB from 2020 through 2024 without issue. It's not like trying to use Windows 11 on 8 GB), but it isn't very heavily future-proofed.

@maxleibman @noondlyt It’s a pity party for the poors.

Look, I was a die-hard apple guy my whole life until that shit Cook pulled for trump. I have given that company THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of dollars over the years because I believed in them, their mission, and their approach hardware and software design.

But I’ll be damned if I will support a bootlicker.

@maxleibman @noondlyt But it’s too late for them, I pulled the trigger, went to Linux and not looking back. I’m working hard to de-platform from apple ecosystem asap. And yes, I admit it - the accoutrements on Linux are FAR worse. But it’s still better than tasting boot leather. Hopefully a lot more apple devs jump ship as well.
