   Other fun stuff. After one of the updates, Yubico Authenticator doesn't work on my Mac anymore. Just doesn't start.
   
   Fortunately the cli took "ykman" works and I can get my authenticator strings from that.

     @Moon I don't like wanna badmouth Macs. I know they are nicely built and such. but it seems each week you have more technical issues with it. wouldn't a Linux install on the Mac be less of a bother?

     @kaia @Moon >nicely built and such
     
     depends. Laptops are kind of crap often, especially around hinge. Linux install is questionable since some hardware lacks drivers and some stuff might be kind of crappy. I possibly had the best possible linux on mac experience - macbook pro 2013, everything worked except the webcam (easily fixable by using external webcam, not like i need it constantly), and i had to use it in like 1080 resolution despite screen being 4K because the fucking mouse cursor (and everything else) would lag at retina™️ resolution.
     
     I geniunely used that macbook with Mac OS X for a year before I gave up on it and no amount of indoctrination by a macfag friend helped me stay.

     @kaia I bought it because my Linux System76 laptop started deteriorating rapidly. It got to the point where I was having trouble using it and I needed a machine for work. All my coworkers have Macs and highly recommended them to me. I decided I needed to just buy really high quality hardware and suck it up about the OS.
     
     It's a tradeoff because it does certain other things really well. I miss my Linux laptop but certain quality of life things like multi monitor support work very well.
     
     I just got two longstanding problems on the Mac fixed, wireguard and ssh-agent had problems but I figured them both out and it's a relief.
     
     Nevertheless, as soon as Linux runs correctly on it, I'll run Linux.

     @hj @kaia The build quality on this Macbook Pro easily exceeds anything else I have ever seen or used. It is almost offensive to me when people say it's no good, I literally cannot understand that opinion.
     
     Linux doesn't work on this Mac and it won't soon, Asahi is targeting the M1 only and this is an M2 Pro.

     tbh it's quite similar to a person who ever used 4$ earbuds (or earbuds bundled with other devices) finally buying half-decent over-ear headphones and saying they're the best thing ever.

     probably a bit exaggerated with "no good", but apple deliberately makes design choices so their shit breaks faster and they won't give you an option to fix it reasonably.
