Comment on Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it
orgrinrt@lemmy.world 7 months agoNot everyone prioritizes productivity and fastness. It’s entirely subjective, and you probably just aren’t one of those that see and feel the benefits of it, and that’s entirely valid too 😌
Personally I am a software engineer with a creative streak, enhanced by adhd, so I guess the combination of those and all of the rest of me just results in me performing better, more focused and more at home with a mac. I doubt there’s a way to quantify that in any objective sense, not for me anyway. Maybe a psychologist could explain.
What I can say, is a lot of my work I do moving around, so having a device I actually can bother to carry with me without disdain is a big plus, so the weight and form factor helps a lot there I think. And the speed at which I can quit and resume work. Both of these also mesh well with my adhd, which tends me towards moving a lot and taking a lot of pauses in between work sessions.

Fair enough, I’m glad you found something that works for you 😌

“yeah, could you please get me that unusable os, with the impossible shortcuts, I like to do things differently.” What are you talking about. Even if I’m casually using my pc, why wouldn’t I use shortcuts to make better use of it? Especially after paying a huuuuge premium for the device?
The conclusion that I get from you is: I know it’s not as usable, but I like it so much, I’ll say productivity is not the main goal. I really don’t get it. Especially as you are a programmer.
Also, I don’t know how one could get a “at home” vibe with unusable shortcuts and an ecosystem that fucks its users on the regular …
Might come off as harsh or mean, but that’s not my intention, I really just don’t get it ^^

Well, the shortcuts are customizable, and as a prior emacs enthusiast, I’ve never encountered unusable or impossible shortcuts.
But then again, this is subjective, so we can’t really argue about that my dude.
To me, all of it is convenient. Shortcuts included. The conclusion you drew is just a projection from your point of view, and as such, it’s understandable, but none of that is anything akin to what I am saying…

Yeah, I guess you’re right.
