@parakeetprincess @NicksWorld Pixel and Samsung, the key is not going on thinking it's an IPhone. they are similar yes, but not the exact same

@lynessence @pawpower @NicksWorld @ratking @SapphireRose91 Bruno gave me a Mac a year ago and I've played with it but admittedly I haven't spent as much time as I should learning it. I need to get off my butt and do it.

@NicksWorld @lynessence @ratking @pawpower @SapphireRose91 This is exactly why I now just use my iPhone! Not everyone can or would choose to do that, but less maintenance and fewer updates was why I experimented with just using the phone, initially. Three years later, I'm still using just the phone and not a PC.

@pawpower @NicksWorld @ratking @SapphireRose91 I use a Mac because it's not as high maintenance as Windows. I can do everything I need to on my Mac, and I am fast at it. Took me about a week to learn but it was good after that, and I enjoy learning new tech.

@NicksWorld As a Mac user for 15 years, I have to disagree. But it's okay, we're still friends. lol

@pawpower @NicksWorld @mcourcel @LeonianUniverse @MariahL @SapphireRose91 @ratking As a mac user who taught myself through only Apple support and the odd podcast, I would definitely recommend applevis.

@SapphireRose91 @ratking @NicksWorld @pawpower @mcourcel @baxaphobia The thing to remember, Nick, is how you express your opinion. The wording. You often express your opinions in a way that isn't tactful, or in a way that is overly general, or about something you've had either no experience with or limited experience. This is what gets you into trouble and causes controversy. My suggestion is, you develop skills that will help you not do these things. HTH

@LeonianUniverse @techsinger @MariahL @SapphireRose91 @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking Can't you just connect the keychron to it? It has a mac keys layout switch.

@techsinger @MariahL @SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking I also gotta learn how my particular Mac works, because it doesn't have a keyboard with a 6-pack on it, so figuring out how that works is a little confusing.

@baxaphobia @SapphireRose91 @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking My difficulty with the opinions @NicksWorld sometimes gives out isn't that they insult anyone's choices, it's just that they are sometimes factually wrong. I'm sorry for the bluntness, but I have seen that a few times now. Honestly, I don't care what other people think of my choices, anyone should Feel free to insult them. I make my choices for me. I'm happy to justify them if I have the time and am in the mood. In fact, the more insults, with reason, the better. What if I'm actually wrong and the reasons correct me? Obviously insulting choices isn't a great way to be popular, but social media isn't about being popular, right?

@techsinger @MariahL @SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking Yeah, I heard how complaisant Apple is in general about fixing VO bugs, and I think that's just terrible.

@pawpower @NicksWorld @mcourcel @baxaphobia @SapphireRose91 @ratking You could even go so far as to say, not trying to start anything but I think that... insert thing here and then be like this is just me thinking out loud, would love other people's thoughts, or something. If you're not looking for dialog just say so.

@SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking Just think of how you may be insulting other people‘s choices. Sure we all have different opinions. We all have different choices. But again the blanket statements that you often make definitely start this whole crapshoot.

@NicksWorld @mcourcel @baxaphobia @SapphireRose91 @ratking So I guess the first question is what is your goal in sharing your opinion. Is your goal getting things off your chest? Is your goal sharing your experience and a willingness to hear the experience of others? What your goal is when you communicate often informs the words you choose when communicating. I can say things like I think Windows computers are stupid and I hate them. That is me being frustrated and getting something off my chest. Or I can say I really don't understand why people use Windows computers because I have found them to be difficult for someone who requires a braille display. That is also sharing my opinion, but is not impugning the choices of others and is asking for dialogue so hopefully I can learn something.

@mcourcel @baxaphobia @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking but the second isn't an opinion. It's just an experience. The first one is definitely an opinion, 1 that I disagree with obviously, but an opinion no less.
