Just got a rather upsetting pop-up on my mac.

Seems they're going to discontinue Rosetta support for x86 software. No real reason given, they're just bored I guess?

Rosetta is freaking magic - it lets us run our old x86 software (you know, that we paid for) on our M-series macs.

It's the same software - or the same name, anyway - that *used to* let us play our old 32-bit games, until Apple decided we didn't need to anymore.

You know why I'm still on my m1 mini? Shit like this.

Dear Apple: I can't in good conscience keep buying new hardware if you are going to keep breaking legacy things that I paid for and like and need and use. Killing x86 support is a bridge too far.

I'm not leaving you - you're leaving me behind. Did so a long time ago truth be told.
