+
+I am very much invested in my personal computer.
+It's still a laptop, but all the software there is chosen to give me as much control as I can.
+My OS is FreeBSD, my browser is (still) Firefox, my editor (and the way of life is) Emacs, and now my windows manager is Fvwm.
+All of those allow me to adjust them to my liking.
+
+But this is not the computer I use the most.
+For 8 hours a day, I am forced to macOS.
+It's a system that used to be good, but each version is getting progressively worse.
+But it also removes all power from now.
+It should be the IT department I am fighting with, not Tim Cook!
+
+I am able to reproduce **some** life necessities on Mac via external programs, like Yabai or skhd.
+Unfortunately, that takes me only a few steps, and still I am forced to look at the blandest interface ever conceived.
+
+But at the same time, this makes me appreciate non-corporate ridden software even more.
+It can't get much worse than macOS, right?[^fn:1]
+
+[^fn:1]: The last Windows I've used extensively was XP.
+ My computers were always to slow for anything newer.
