Yes, they can be adjusted, it just requires multiple steps. The reason I didn’t explain it to you is because it’s exhausting and I don’t remember off the top of my head. I have adjusted how to open files on my Apple machines in the past, as well as the other things you mentioned, you’ve got to look it up, especially since they like to occasionally change the settings menu. If I gave you a tutorial it might not be totally up to date. Facebook, Youtube and Tiktok all have settings tutorials for Apple.

This is has happened already with Minecraft servers

But why?

That sucks, I miss blogs a lot, we should all do blogs again.

The stuff you said about opening files and window management can be adjusted in settings.

The other stuff you mentioned, about controlling how to turn off Bluetooth and disabling Gatekeeper without the terminal, is also dependent upon a frankly lengthly and complicated settings menu. If you still use Apple in any context, you should really do some research about settings menus.

On iPhone, knowing your settings is especially crucial. You could have the most private phone possible without a third party OS, or you could have a phone that’s basically open to hackers, and it’s almost totally dependent on how you adjust your privacy and contact settings.

Wen I was a kid, my mom had a website where she talked about different pies she invented, or something, I don’t really know.

Does your wife have her own website about things she made?

What does your wife usually do on the computer?

The mac mini and mac studio give the user a lot of bang for their buck. Those who say “Apple tax,” I’m convinced, haven’t looked into the Apple settings or used the ecosystem for what it’s typically used for… I actually think Apple is worth the money for a lot of people, it just depends on how you typically use the computer and what you need from it

I’m more asking about why a typical Mac user would switch to Linux mint, wondering this in response to something I heard someone say to me. I think maybe, that person just really likes Linux Mint, and wants everybody to use it.

With Apple, its really important to go into the settings right away. I’ve heard macOS described as extremely easy and user-friendly, and that’s true when it comes to just using the machines, but it’s also very adjustable. The settings is actually a pretty complicated series of menus, even though it seems straightforward, some settings take a few clicks to even find.

The price point is a valid comment… really expensive hardware compared to what one could get for the same amount of money.

Who typically uses Mint, in your opinion?

Holy shit, that’s impossible, they make a lot more money than I do, so they must be right somehow.

No way… some really smart tech guys told me it will be worth a lot of money some day.

No, some people said “poverty” as a reason. That’s fair. To be honest Windows is ok, it just kind of sucks. If I’m only paying like $150 for a machine, I am ok with them having Windows on it, but I would probably install Mint, but you know what maybe not, the computer is going to kind of suck a bit, maybe its going to be ok.

Yeah Apple is greedy but Microsoft hates their customers… it’s like it’s run entirely by fast food employees who don’t want to see you walk in the door…

So, there maybe hope for me yet…

So you’re saying you don’t own a Guy Fawkes mask?

lol

Linux Mint and ChromeOS are the best for students and old people IMO

Ubuntu is great, I’ve heard good things about Arch. Arch people are similar to vegans: they’re really annoying, they announce themselves, they preach to people… they tend to have good opsec and own some sort of mask and bolt cutters… they like taking pictures of their pets…

Microsoft wants to have its cake and eat it too… they want to become Amazon while having a full head of hair and a stable marriage… its not going to happen…
