Matthias OttUpdated my workshop Mac mini to #Tahoe and wow. Either I’m getting old or this is really bad UI design. (…or both 😁) I’m not talking about the weird alignment of elements and rounded corners that are all over the place, although that’s surprising to see as well. More the hard to read text on semi-transparent, blurry elements that also lack contrast. This really trips me up as someone with regular migraines with auras. I constantly feel like a migraine is about to start … 😕
@Samuelmoore they have to be careful with their choice of words - the nazi could sue the fuck out them
@dennyhenke @TheDonsieLass That's an excellent point, buy used and you don't send any more profit to big tech. Also this might be helpfull: https://european-alternatives.eu/
@TheDonsieLass It depends on what your criteria is. For example, I'm in interested in laptops that can be configurable both in hardware and software, such as framework. But they are US owned. There are very few European based manufactures but so far I've found Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 and Slimbook Slimbook Evo 14. Lenovo is Chinese, but has factories in Hungary.
@mattgemmell I’m done purchasing Apple hardware for the foreseeable future. I’m looking to shift toward Linux and European‑owned technology, and I urge others to consider doing the same. It’s time we break our dependence on American tech giants and stop feeding the very monster we helped create.
Matt Gemmell 🏴This piece has been coming for a while, in one form or another. Makes me deeply unhappy to write it. https://mattgemmell.scot/the-fallen-apple/
Can anyone recommend Mastodon native apps that are European built?
@djlink it’s better than Microsoft teams
@marcel nice write up, I’m tempted by the reMarkable Paper Pro Move but is it worth it when I could get an iPad mini for not much more that’s also a little computer?
