I know I’ve written this already, but I am getting rid of all my Apple hardware, except my iPhone. (As that ages, I will get rid of it, too.)

Without subpixel AA, there is no reason to have such expensive gear because the practical advantage of it is lost. Even at 5K resolution, sans subpixel AA the fonts look no better than they would on a monitor half that resolution. So bye-bye Apple hardware. I will use an OS where the fonts don’t look like dog vomit. Right now, the only choice left is Linux.

I dread selling this hardware but there’s no reason at all to have such premium gear when now I can get the exact same appearance (and better performance) on gear that literally costs 1/5 the price.

Fuck you, Apple.

Literally everything in the computing world and on the internet works worse — far worse — than it did 10 years ago. Even something so simple as bookmark sync is basically non-functional these days because no on really wants you to bookmark anything — they want you to search.

I can no longer have decent fonts due to smartphones, I can’t have any privacy nor security, while at the same time I can’t get into roughly 25% of my accounts ever again because I can’t remember some phone number or don’t have access to some email address from a decade ago.

In a lot of ways, I regret getting into IT because this stuff is my life, not just a hobby or some casual interest.
