Thank you for introducing me to KOReader and Kindle jailbreaking.
Fortunately, the Kindle Paperwhite I use is no longer supported, and is compatible with few of the jailbreaks out there.
A good rabbit hole to dive into over the weekend. :-)

I have experienced this myself.
My main machine at home - a M2 Pro MacBook with 32GB RAM - effortlessly runs whatever I throw at it. It completes heavy tasks in reasonable time such as Xcode builds and running local LLMs.
Work issued machine - an Intel MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM - struggles with Firefox and Slack. However, development takes place on a remote server via terminal, so I do not notice anything beyond the input latency.
A secondary machine at home - an HP 15 laptop from 2013 with an A8 APU and 8GB RAM (4GB OOTB) - feels sluggish at times with Linux Mint, but suffices for the occasional task of checking emails and web browsing by family.
A journaling and writing machine - a ThinkPad T43 from 2005 maxed out with 2GB RAM and Pentium M - runs Emacs snappily on FreeBSD.
There are a few older machines with acceptable usability that don't get taken out much, except for the infrequent bout of vintage gaming
Seems like Apple’s convoluted guidelines around external payment systems is working out for them.
E: added link to said guidelines.
The logo/brand devolved, IMO.
Coincidentally(?), their software devolved just as much!
I don’t want to install multiple applications to just use a mouse.
Exiting Vim is for beginners.
Veterans stay in Vim till the end of time. Probably for the same reasons why the meme in post was made.
Beside mentions of Jetbrains license model, I would like to mention the license model of a note taking app called Agenda[1].
It has a subscription wherein the customer retains the software and all of its functionality even after the subscription expires. One may resume the subscription down the line if they see a new feature worth having.
The creators of the app liken it to a magazine subscription wherein the customer retains the magazines even after the subscription lapses.
From my own experience of using it, I purchased the license for a year back in 2021 and let it lapse as I did not find the any of the new features to be worthwhile. I still keep an eye on their updates as it is my daily driver.
This meme is from an older time when all of this was true.
For all the people here commenting here about macOS updates being free forever, I guess they haven’t really used the OS long enough.

Should the meme be updated before it is eventually reposted? Yes. But should it misinform people? No.
Where are the rest of the tips? Asking for a friend.
I thought the person in the picture was reading code on a tablet device, and was wondering what is wrong with the picture. :D
Why is the code printed in dark mode!?!
The colour codes could be more accessible.
