I tried to get my mom to download Signal but her memory is stuffed with photos and she hasn’t updated her OS so it didn’t work

Because I don’t want facebook, but I still want talk to my mom on the computer.

No the first thing we need is a pair of identical twins to steal from

Yeah but what if that’s what the world needs

They should make a Facebook for moms, other than Facebook

Damn, so you’re telling me I have to rebuild Facebook, basically.

Yeah I have actually thought of making my own just on a home server but I doubt I’d be able to get all of my mom’s friends to use it.

That’s a really good explanation of current cirumstances with Apple. It is really good hardware and is in my opinion worth it, but yeah they engage in a lot of meaningless greed when it comes to protecting their ‘copyright’

I’m leaning towards Ubuntu because that’s what everyone said would work. Some people in the comments are also saying this. I’ve never installed Linux on a Mac before.

I also have an old Macbrook Pro I got the same year

I’ve heard multiple people say that about the Wifi

I like it because it’s flat.

Couldn’t you just do that stuff with a phone?

I already have a flat mac mini. You know, the old ones that look flat.

I have a mac mini and a Macbook pro I got in 2018 I haven’t used for anything, thinking about trying Mint on this hardware.

That’s fair to say, Apple is very expensive, I just think the package is worth it for a lot of people if they’re willing to learn the settings menu (and remember it, crucially)

OK seems like you knew what I was trying to say, do you have an answer to this question?

What are some advantages that Linux Mint and macOS have over each other?

Oh yeah? What Apple machine do you recommend for Mint?

I’m a really big fan of both Mac Mini and Mac Studio. Macbook Pro is good too, but it is overpriced compared to the other two machines. It’s not as ‘idiot-proof’ as some people believe, though. Most people don’t know their settings, I’ve had trouble with this on the Mac too, the settings menu is intense, Windows-level privacy vs end-to-end encryption, all dependent on settings.

I actually got into an argument with one of my friends, but yeah, I am kind of looking for purchasing advice I guess you could say.

The answer to the tire question, is that I have many cars and trucks and SUVs, a few I use regularly and a few that are sort of rotting in this vacant lot next to my home but I swear they’ll be worth something in the future if I fix them up, which I totally will.
