After a lot of prototypes, i’ve decided to settle for a design forked from Global, it just made more sense and it -- objectively -- looked better.

What can I say ?

A few years ago, when many saw in Lisa Su a prophet delivering the CPU space from its long and tiring monopoly, I only saw another nail in x86′s suffuring coffin.

7nm is great ! And x86 has been king for such an incredible amount of time, but I believe it’s time for this architecture to bid its farewell.

RISCV and ARM’s mindblowing efficiency, simpler instruction set and lightness makes it the obvious choice for the future of computing, and you Apple ? You dared, you looked at the current state of x86 and its ages-old thermals, and you refused to submit -- in a pseudo-heroic way you decided to finally embrace what you’ve done for many years on your mobile platform, and the results are obvious.

Rosetta is as shining as ever, Big Sur is a game-changing version of macOS, xCode is as modern as ever and alternatives to x86 finally seem viable.

WHY

WHY

WHY

Why did you have to do this Apple ? Why do you like to make me angry ? Just got myself a Razer Core X, a great way to reuse my 960 (the poor thing was covered in a 2cm layer of dust).

When I try to boot on Windows with it, no issues it’s pretty much plug and play (except ofc for the EFI mod that’s required to keep the iGPU enabled when booting into the OS)

But when I try to use my eGPU with macOS Mojave ? Uh oh, nothing. Why ? Because Apple somehow managed to allow third-party drivers to work on High Sierra but since the Nvidia/Apple couple’s breaking up now Apple isn’t allowing any Nvidia GPU to be used, even as a iGPU interface.

This is really annoying, it means that I have to manually put a new hdmi cable and dongle and switch every time I want to use my mac on a monitor, that is without the boost performance that I want.

The best decision I took since this fucked-up upgrade. Apple force-updated my system without telling me anything, my mac was just on power and they thought they could upgrade it.

They killed all of my apps, a lot of my saves, and my latest backup was two months old.

Apple’s newest macOS version, macOS Catalina, absolutely destroyed any hope of seeing legacy apps on newer Mac Devices. It killed off every 32-bit app and third-party APIs-based apps.

Not only did this destroy many very important Apps (Adobe’s Photoshop, Bluestack, Wine, Emulators), but it also set a reminder for amateur coders: Working for Apple Devices is adhering to their entire control and consent on the content made.

I use Wine for almost everything, I adore macOS’s ergonomy, but why oh lord why would they ever want to remove any 32-bit related piece of code in their kernel. It doesn’t make any sense. Windows and Linux are fine with retrocompatibility, no one ever cared about legacy apps being able to run on their platforms so why Apple out of all people decide to destroy very well working Apps ?

Okay, what the fuck.

Very seriously Apple, you can’t fucking launch something without any documentation, call it revolutionary and think devs are just going to guess how to use it. It’s just too poorly made, truly I haven’t felt such anger towards Apple in a while.

Second of all, what’s the deal with segues. The NS platform is so shitly made that no one even knows what goes where and most syntax is UI exclusive, this makes cross-platform programming hard USING THE SAME SOFTWARE TO MAKE IT Do they want to kill Cocoa Devs ?

I’m a Junior Dev, and as of late i’ve seen a lot of people recommend using Swift. Being used to Xamarin I thought the transition would be easy, knowing i’m used to the Build Interface. But something seemed off, Xamarin is a single platform that has common terms between its subdivisions, But with swift this isn’t the case.

You have a choice to make, the general syntax is the same and XCode is an amazing tool. But the problem comes with documentation and macOS. I don’t even need to look at analytics to know what most people use Swift for -- iOS. That concentrates a great deal of documentation in iOS platforms.

Wow, this is the first time in a while I’ve had fun using JS ! Thanks to TypeScript and the NativeScript Project I think I just discovered myself a new passion for App Designing and Developing !

I just can’t code anymore, i don’t know what to do.

I’ve started working on some projects here and there, trying to report issues on github and contribute to the open-source community but no inspiration comes whatsoever. Just like “Art block” I consider this to be “Code Block”.
