The new macOS 27 beta changes Apple's boot picker in a way that hides the Asahi Linux partition, preventing Apple Silicon Mac users from booting into their Linux installations. (www.phoronix.com)

Really, fuck apple for all that shit

That's why I'm not buying their hardware, even if it often is good
They just fuck you over, because they want to keep you in their fucking walled garden.

Hopefully not getting redundant here, so I'll just finish with a fuck them!

    Alright

    I'm not buying into Apple stuff because of the things Apple does
    So seemingly locking other people out of using their hardware just seemed in line

    But ok, I'll retract my comment

    Edit: I corrected my comment with the stuff, that was wrong

    I mean, in fairness, if I read a headline that was like "in silent apple update, MacBooks with Asahi Linux installed will self destruct the lithium ion battery once it detects the user is asleep and unable to stop the explosion" I'd have been like "yeah. That tracks. Sucks that their hardware is so fucking good."

    But it’s not a silent Apple update. It’s literally a beta release for beta users and you have to click update to update!

    For fucks sake. If a headline said “Mr Roger’s ran someone over with his car and didn’t tell anyone about it” would you believe it or be slightly incredulous? This user didn’t even post the actual headline, which mentioned it was a beta. Does no one have critical thinking skills anymore?

    It’s like believing Microsoft purposefully puts in idiotic bugs and security vulnerabilities into their OS multiple times a month. They’re not doing it on purpose, they’re just completely incompetent.

    "if I read a headline" that's how I started my comment. "If I read A headline"

    I did not say anything about this one. I just expressed empathy at the users misunderstanding of the original post.

    A beta release that is absolutely littered with bugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did it because they broke something, or just straight up the Asahi bootloader needs to be updated.

    It would be pretty egotistical to think that Apple did this on purpose. Apple just updated their shit. Now Ashai needs to update theirs.

    Yeah, I'm sorry for that misunderstanding

    I think, I'll need to redact a bit more of my comment

    Edit: on a second look... Sorry, I think, I did fine
    Maybe it's not on topic anymore, but it still goes fine with my view of Apple
