The masculine urge to buy an iPad Pro and attempt to use it as a laptop replacement and then get frustrated because all the programs suck and end up using it as a glorified youtube player instead.

Where is the masculine part of this endeavour?
Apple: "what's a computer?"
What’s a computer?
Get a surface pro 9 and install linux
Linux is beta AF. Apple mafia all the way
Ok cuck. Maybe you should buy a proprietary closed source unaduitable apple shitcoin if they drop one
Ok cuck. Maybe you should sell you bitcoin for a proprietary unauditable apple shit coin if they drop one
Imagine telling someone who is in the Apple ecosystem to go and try Linux!
Do you think anyone will listen to you?
How do you know that someone runs Linux? Oh, they’ll let you know!
Won’t they!? 🫠
I JUST SWITCHED FROM USING MAC FOREVER TO FEDORA. ITS UX IS SUPERIOR, MAC IS NOW POORLY DESIGNED & BLOATED SPYWARE. THEY DONT EVEN HAVE PROPER WINDOW MANAGEMENT IN 2025 LOL, NO TOUCH SCREEN LAPTOP?? OH BUT THEY HAVE PREGNANT MEN EMOJIS. CANT SUPPORT THAT TRASH ANYMORE. HE IS RIGHT, YOU ARE CUCKED #CRAPPLE
All caps didn’t read - fuck off
🥰
I LISTENED, AND I'M THRILLED WITH SWITCHING TO FEDORA AFTER A LONG TIME WITH APPLE. THEIR UX JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE ON ALL PLATFORMS. NO PROPER WINDOW MANAGEMENT IN 2025 FOR MACOS? NO TOUCHSCREEN LAPTOP?? THEY CANT EVEN KEEP PEOPLE'S IOS CONTACTS STRAIGHT IN THEIR DB 🤣 OH BUT THEY HAVE PREGANT MEN EMOJIS....
IT'S BLOATED SPYWARE WITH OVERPRICED HARDWARE. YOU ARE GIVING ALL YOUR DATA AWAY, SO YES YOU ARE INDEED CUCKED #CRAPPLE
All caps didn’t read 👍
IF YOU DIDNT READ THEN WHY ARE YOU ANGRY? IT'S OK, WE CAN'T ALL BE SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUALS 😉
Hush now child 🤫
Ubuntu and fedora just work steve jobs
What your saying is relevent 10 years ago
you dont really own any Apple device you use.
have fun paying them to spy on you.
Real sigmas run BSD.
Not at that level yet haha
is this because systemd is not Linux or what?
Oh no. I was just being silly.
Systemd is garbage, but Slackware is still the best linux distro 33 years later. That said, it does use BSD style init scripts...
Cool story 👍
👍
🥱
?
Your apathy about the ownership of your own devices and data is why the surveillance state is possible.
Congratulations on being part of the problem.
🥱
The amount of surveillance the average American have openly welcomed into their home is astonishing.

they don't care as long as the gulag is convenient and they have a shiny box to stare at
relatable.
iPadOS 26 is makes it very close to a desktop experience. In some ways it’s better.
It’s all fun and games until you try to do something that is not part of Apple’s rigid vision for the iPad.
Just install linux and run WinBoat.
You've obviously never had to manage a bank of iPads for a school... They are a living nightmare designed to make admins lose their minds.
Good frisbees though 👍
I feel this on a core level
That’s why I stick to Bitcoin, not fancy toys that pretend to replace a laptop.
Thinkpad all the way
Masculine and iPad don't belong in the same sentence.
AWWWWW SMACK
🎯
Thats where you're wrong hodl. That's a low T move.
Pixel Tablet -> GrapheneOS -> Open Source apps for essentially anything you can imagine -> No cell chip, no sim, no esim, just glorious anonymous web traffic over tor or vpn multihop with a new mac identifier every time you restart 💪💪💪
Did you try it with the gae Magic Keyboard
I leverage my iPad as a digital workspace for capturing detailed notes, creating CAD designs, and producing sketches that support both prototyping efforts and the development of graphic illustrations for websites and game design projects.
Zero masculinity detected.
Size matters.
Legit did this some years ago. Sold for sats
Sometimes we all connect w a shared experience…. The faith, liberty, Bitcoin,…. ‘iPad is gonna be awesome’ assumptions

Masculine? iPad?
Since when was taking grandma's computer a masculine urge?
the urge to buy an iPad is a soy, effeminate desire and you should be ridiculed for associating it with masculinity
" i'm doing the ReVolUtIOn with my Orange kyc iphone "
*feminine
Bitcoin maxis self-displaying their "masculine" sacrifice of FOSS, of privacy, of control, of self-sovereignity... All in the name of convienience and design.
At this point Bitcoin maximalism is like a Dragshow in a kindergarten. Beyond ridiculous and outright dangerous for our fellow men.

A purchase that eventually becomes an object you look at and wonder why you even bothered. Same with most tech, being deflationary and all. Be minimalist, the less stuff you have the more free you'll become!
Apple has really become so boring the last years. Samsung is doing some really cool stuff check this out and on top look for samsung dex literally turns your phone into a universal laptop and smart tv. A dream for a minimalistic setup if you would use a z 7 fold etc. But same as apple fortget privacy. It's really annoying nowadays that users have to choose between principles/privacy or innovation and usability.
Sounds gay, not masculine.
I still remember those times when buying an iPad did feel incredible when playing a game from the playstore did feel unique
Just buy Bitcoin with that money you were gonna use for the iPad and call it a day
I gotta be the only person who actually uses the 12.9" iPad Pro to do my drafting and create plans.
Yah, all the other apps are shit. I only use goodnotes.
That sounds about right.
Don’t I did this for 2 years and it’s not bad but it can be frustrating at times tbh
Should’ve bought a @Daylight Computer Co
