    I use linux for programming and learn to enjoy everything being 3x harder than needed (Stockholm’s syndrome), but it’s not like it’s good

    I use Windows for gaming (I could use linux to do it, but windows is easier), but it’s not like it’s any good

    I won’t be paying whatever 4 months worth of my income on a MacBook, so it’s not like it matters if macOS is any good

      4 months worth of my income on a MacBook

      Is it bad that I can’t tell if you’re middle income or just want enough RAM to do something useful?

        I can’t tell if you’re middle income

        I’m from Brazil. I didn’t know this term, but quick googling shows me that Brazil is an upper-middle-income country.

        I make around R$ 3620 ($740 USD) per month, a more than average income in Brazil. A MacBook Air M2 15" comes for R$ 15000 ($3069 USD).

        I just vomit at the idea that they’re making these laptops with ram soldered in. unupgradable garbage you have to pay ridiculous premiums for.

            I get that they’re using some fancy mem, it’s not like pc1600 dimms or some shit… BUT not ever being able to yank the old and pop in new? bonkers.

            Nowadays you can use Expo, if you want to use React Native. They take care of everything, so a Mac isn’t needed anymore

              If your app needs a lot of native modules Expo simply doesn’t cut it. Developing iOS apps without running an iOS simulator is a lot of pain. In my early days of development my team actually tried this. There are too many quirks for each major mobile OS (Android & iOS) that makes it a lot of pain during testing if you don’t at least try to run it on the simulator.
