You can tell how old an image is by counting the jpg artifact rings. This one is from 2005 by my estimates.

For one, it's got Steve Jobs in it, and he's been dead since 2011.
If I were to make the same meme today, I would still use him, so I'm not sure this dating method holds any water.
I think that's the right choice. If i need to imagine "apple boss" the face of jobs appear in my mind. The current one is Tim Cook, right? I'm sure I'd recognize him if I saw his picture, but at the miment I'm not able to picture him.

And it is stil, accurate (except S. Jobs death). Fuck we do not evolve. :(
I feel the Linux - Linux fanboy is very wrong these days. It does not have a monitor at 22 degrees

If you show me a windows fanboy I'll show you a bridge for sale.
I'll bite. Where's my bridge? It better be cheap and run windows xp embedded

There’s a lot out there if you know where to look.
Plenty in the windows support forums. Look for the guy who’s not an MS employee still there helping people. Don’t make too much fun, they’re the only ones who’re any good and sorting out issues…

Wait... can a Mac run multiple monitors? It must be able to, but the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor. Clean desks and a minimalist aesthetic, but never multiple monitors.
the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor
That's because their monitors cost $2k
They are computers. So yes.
The M1 macbooks only support 1 external monitor natively lmao
There are issues with Macs and multiple monitors, but one thing they do great is that they can easily support multiple monitors with different dpi settings and refresh rates (including variable refresh rates), which turns into a big pain in the ass to get right in Linux.

Macs are used in a lot of "creative" industries and professionals tend to benefit from multiple monitors. Every editor I've known cuts on a Mac with at least two monitors.

Well, at last Microsoft is micro and soft. Still behaving inappropriately.
I'm a Windows user and have bwen for many many years. I recently started learning Linux so I can hopefully one day be competent enough to justify never having to buy Microsoft ^TM branded lube again.
My partner, and much of my friend group, are a Mac users.
I am a programmer so I know many many Linux people.
It is Shocking how accurate this meme is LOL

I too stare at htop for hours
At the risk of being unpopular, I have a home with a decently-powered Mac desktop (I used to work as a video editor), a Linux notebook for my personal use, a Windows notebook as required for my daughter's online school and even a Chromebook for my wife's use because it was all she felt she needed.
This meme is accurate in some ways, but the biggest way in which it's accurate is that people judge others for the OS they choose as if it is some sort of character flaw if they choose the 'wrong' one.
Running all of these OSes in one home, I've been able to see the advantages and disadvantages of each and I can't really say any of them would be the right one for everyone, so I'm actually glad there's a range of options. Even if those options can be overpriced or bloated or difficult.

How'd they get a picture of my terminal
I have yet to meet one person that actively likes Windows, it's always that they use it because it's the only thing they know
You guys have Stockholm syndrome

I'm a Linux user and I usually see Linux the way that it is depicted for the Windows user. The terminal is beautiful and my favorite interface for interacting with computers.
I'm a linux fanboy and I bought a macbook... So where do I sit on this chart?
Middle right
Other Linux users will see you as the "Mac as seen by Linux fanboys" panel haha
Do you run MacOS on it? Do modern Macs even allow other OSes any more?
Kind of? There is one singular Linux distribution designed to work on macs, and it’s still missing a lot of features the last time I checked

Funny enough, all of these are true in some way
I don’t see Linux as surreal, just as the default computing experience
This is accurate
