By "people", I just mean my friends and a bunch of other jailbreakers on YouTube, but whatever. I have a few friends. One is a trans girl, which I mention because apparently it's common for trans women to love tech, and the other two are genderfluid AFAB. Well, anyway, I prefer new electronics that you can do a lot more stuff with and I don't understand the hype on using and blogging on a 10 to 18-year-old electronic device?

    Particularly when it's an old Intel Mac that Apple obsoleted years ago, but which still runs Linux perfectly. Also, they're reasonably powerful and cost bugger all because the M-series Macs have blown them all out of the water.
