@colon_three @tinybarks@meows.life anyway this whole thread started from another conversation entirely about someone having a wrong opinion that poor people aren't allowed to have MacBooks and still be poor, it did not start about amigas, and i don't want to add to this anymore

@tinybarks@meows.life @colon_three my a600 that cost that much came with a completely knackered motherboard from an electrolytic leak and needed microscopic precision soldering to reattach the keyboard lines and still doesn't work 100%

@tinybarks@meows.life @colon_three I'm not in the us _or_ Europe or the rest of North America

@tinybarks@meows.life @colon_three you can get the cf and adapter even cheaper from AliExpress but for example i paid R$400 for an Amiga 600 while a dual core ThinkPad tablet for drawing was R$180

amigas are not cheap

@tinybarks@meows.life @colon_three still, finding a fully working system plus necessary accessories to bring it up to speed (at least a cf-ide adaptor for example to put software in it for example) is not cheaper than a modern workstation

gross 

oh i love the feeling of stomach acid in my throat nearly throwing up

@lizardsquid yeah it was directed at someone else not me

still angers me though

what compels someone to make someone else feel bad to the point of suicidal thoughts and then keep going further instead of apologizing?

sounds pathological

not everyone that has an iphone is rich

not everyone that has a 2013 macbook in 2017 is rich

poor people are allowed to have nice things

it doesn't make them rich

fuck right off

mac os has been the go to for music production since the 90s

you can get Macintosh computers that do audio tasks used for very cheap

some studios even still use powerpcs

Linux won't take it's place in audio production so chill out with your preaching

@a_breakin_glass in this case in particular people were trying to push Linux onto someone for real time audio applications, something Linux cannot do

@MightyPork@dev.glitch.social yeah, and then it still doesn't work

@colon_three getting a decent working Amiga system these data is even more expensive with all things considered than a modern workstation so no

don't fucking try to convert people to Linux like it's a god damn religion, keep it to yourself

who the hell even suggests Linux for real-time audio applications?

just, don't

@bea @noelle better than what i have >.< i miss the p8lite, Huawei phones have EXCEPTIONAL cameras
