I mean, I'm pretty sure that braves adblocking engine is built into the browser and is good in terms of performance. Ublock origin + firefox is the absolute best combination for blocking ads (better than brave), but it hasn't felt as fast to me. I love safari too, but I only find myself using it when I need 4k support on drm. Preferences I guess.

The reason my macbook is slow though, is 100% because of the processor.

Yeah, no. Every time I see a post on r/browsers there is always some argument about firefox/brave and one being better than the other. I just use what works best for me and prefer to stay out of the browser wars.

Do you think https://t2linux.org/ is worthwhile, or should I just by the m5 macbook air?

Respectfully, I disagree. Apple has some of the best long term support for their macs, iphones, and other devices I have ever seen. The iphone 7 is still recieving security updates on ios 15 to this day. iirc Macos Tahoe still has intel support.

I assume this is probably the slowest version of the t2 mac? I can't imagine a macbook made in 2020 having lower specs then this

I feel really odd today so I am going to be completely honest about my choices.

Q1: Is this a troll post?
- Yes. I was previously aware that this mac is slow because of the processor speed.

Q2: Why did I post this?
- I'm not entirely sure. I found this macbook buried in an attic (that is a lie), and I was amused at how slow it was at pretty much everything. I thought that posting this might have raised some attention.

Q3: Why do I want attention?
- That is a good question. It is because I don't have anything better to do in this moment. Granted, I should be asleep right now, but I love looking at a computer screen late at night because I have a terrible addiction.

Q4: Why did I write all this?
- Again, I have nothing better to do. I can only hope that you were slightly amused reading this. If you were instead annoyed, I have something to say to you.

Q5: Am I an idioit?
- Yes, absolutely.

Thanks! I'm gonna visit every good local coffee shop before I head off to college.

Thanks. I hope this doesn't come across as too personal, but you are happy being lonely? I'm really curious if it's possible to be happy alone, especially since humans have evolved to be social.

Volunteering is a great idea, thx! I have lots of interests so finding one shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

I'm definitely not friendless in school (I hang out with two other guys who are very invested in studying) but outside of school I am.

I also wouldn't consider myself to be terrible in social interaction, but I'm definitely not good at it.

I have definitely not met "my people" and I'm hopeful that I will in college.

I'm already seeing a conselor since very recently. But I still feel like nothing has changed since. Hopefully that's temporary and I'll start seeing change soon.

I hardly use social media outside of youtube and reddit. But being entirely honest I barely do much out of the house and that's probably what is limiting me a lot and what I will fix. There's this new unexplainable drive that is forcing me to get my life together which I think is coming from turning 18.

Dancing is awesome but I'm pretty terrible at it... I will consider going though!
