That's the thing, they both feel like toys to me. I get frustrated by MacOS because it feels like the interface is fighting me at every step and I can't "just do something" the normal fast way. I had to use one very frequently at work, so you'd think I'd get used to it eventually, but I just got increasingly more frustrated every day

But on an iPad I don't care as much that everything is weird. Maybe because I don't try and do anything complicated on it. Like I basically just use it as a mini TV to watch YouTube or use apps. One time I installed a word processor and IDE on my iPad and also got similarly annoyed with it like Mac OS.

I suppose I just do not gel with any Apple OS in a productive setting. It feels extremely unintuitive and I have to carefully think about everything I do and how to do it. Though I am spoiled by Linux nowadays, and I'm used to how computers worked 20+ years ago. I don't like it when things try and help me, it just slows me down. Just give me the file system and command line lol. I want to understand and feel everything that's happening in the computer

Apologies if I make any mistakes in this message, I'm only semi-conscious right now from exhaustion and I don't trust my sentence structure

I've used both a lot. iPads are good, they get the job done. Macs piss me off

Yeah I didn't know about this back then, and I didn't think of pickles for some reason. I was hyper fixated on a "meal" solution

This was me. Turned out I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I literally passed out during meetings and when driving home. Literally dragging myself out of bed and through the day semi conscious, running on stimulants and grit

I just kept slowly going downhill until one day I had a severe neurological event that I never recovered from, but forced me to address the issue and get it properly looked at. Most doctors told me it was in my head and I was just depressed or something. I had to see more than 20 types of doctor and specialist and it took years

Not saying this is what you have, there's a bunch of things that can cause chronic exhaustion, but this is not normally. Please don't ignore it

Sleep in a quantum superposition of left and right to reap the benefits of both

One time my dad gave me 37 cucumbers from his friend's farm, and I was just sitting there staring at a fridge completely full of cucumbers displacing everything else like what the hell do I do with 37 cucumbers???

Most recipes online are like, use 1 cucumber and 8 potatoes... I need a much higher cucumber to everything else ratio. I eventually found an ancient website online from the 90's outlining someone's grandma's recipe for peasant Polish soup from "the war". It was like a whole damn cucumber quest.

It was ok. Really made you feel like a peasant.

My ex had three separate Amazon prime subscriptions going at once for three separate accounts and only used one of them. It was a lot of money wasted for no reason. I'm convinced most people never actually look at their bank account. Once a month I go through the expenses and make sure they all add up, it's really not hard to do and catches weird stuff like this

This is because a Mac is basically a giant iPad with a keyboard. Everything is abstracted away, so if you're actually a computer person and try and take command of what's going on, the giant iPad will say "no you can't do that" constantly

It feels like trying to drive a car with no steering wheel or pedals, and you're expected to vibe your way through it with an overly helpful touchscreen interface running interference. Like just please God just give me the steering wheel

That's it, I'm going back to postal letters

That was me until my body finally gave out when I hit 30. Got flattened by the boulder and now I'm kicking rocks

Xitter is a bad example but I can imagine someone liking / sharing posts for their favourite video game or MMO. Like if there was an update for FFXIV, you might share it with your friends so they don't miss it. Or if there's a giveaway code or something. Stuff like that where it's actually useful and impactful to your life or hobbies.
