Status on m1/m2 update?

Hmm... some things you have said:

Your negative hyperbole is telling on you ;)

This truth (assuming it is true - I really couldn't care less) doesn't hurt me. I have no allegiance to Microsoft, I am not a zealot for, or a disciple of any company. I have criticised Microsoft, and Native Instruments many times for many things, and will continue to do so when it is deserved.

Apple have done some things better than Microsoft, and the reverse is also true, but as I've said a few times already, that is irrelevant here. It's interesting that you (and others) have tried to turn this into an Apple vs intel/MS pissing contest.

THE LAST PARAGRAPH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Do you have a Mac? If not, why M1/M2 compatibility would even interest you?

So who is trolling who?

Well, there was a thread recently about Native Access 2 and Win 11 problem, if I recall. I didn’t see any Mac users posting there and telling people that they should buy a Mac because PCs are junk and that this was all Microsoft’s fault :)

So my question still stands: what makes PC users post in Mac related threads?

This is a Reaktor user forum, and I don't owe you an explanation, but I'll give it anyway because this has gotten beyond disrespectful. You may remember I started with

Since I came up here, I've read

I actually left for some days after I considered the biblical overtones of

were too much for my sanity. Then we got

I'm sure I'm missing some. When I said Apple "sucks" I meant, as I later clarified, that I don't consider it an innovative force, that its business practices are distortive and anticompetitive, that its negationist policies are painful for developers and in the end for users, though these end up blaming 3rd parties, because the policies are actually effective. I even illustrated those points with examples. You may remember I liked your comment about Apple's target audience, because I agreed. Among the "technically good choices" I mentioned, I consider macOS to be a good Unix implementation, and Core Audio / Graphics much superior to anything other platforms can offer. This is common knowledge, as much as this, or this. I worked on Apple devices for a number of years, and it was horrible, particularly dealing with support, and with the hardcore fans I worked with and their constant sense of entitlement. My "interest" in M1 compatibility is low for my own stuff: as I said before, a single header (which I had written beforehand) was enough. Nobody asked, but for measure, I consider Windows a hodgepodge that's been progressively corrected and is now rather solid, but the immense amount of background bulls*t in the last versions makes it very unreliable for real time. So, you can imagine why

and the like, come a little aggravating at this point.

The original question was about Reaktor’s compatibility with M1/M2 processors, very much belonging to Reaktor sub-forum. It was not off-topic.

If you say “I hate Apple and their fans with reasonable passion”, you basically declare that you hate me, a fellow musician. How is this not derogatory and disrespectful?

Words do matter.

I don’t hate anything and anyone. I don’t use what I don’t like, that’s all. I don’t “hate” Microsoft or Windows, or their users. I don’t call PC computers junk or ******. I don’t call their users zealots or sheep.

TBH I don’t consider “Apple/Mac sucks” to be a well educated statement - hence my opinion about that comment being ignorant. I’ve posted here now and then to show that this thread has gotten out of hand, I might even have mentioned here (or other post) that me, as I am sure others would agree on this, are tired of this debate, again to mark this “here we go again” comment by me. Lastly, that last paragraph in Maciej’s post was spot on tbh and I couldn’t stop laughing bcs it made me think of “touché puddycat”from tweetie(?) so, can we please just drop this VS thing now?

I remember a similar discussion some years ago, where at some point I clarified that none of what I said was directed to devs, for which I had the utmost respect, but rather to stockholders, for which I didn't. (Someone silently gave that a like.) I can imagine devs feeling larger versions of the same pains we do. I don't think being less vocal about management issues does any favor to them, or the long term future of the product. Of course I may be naive or unsubtle here.

I was being cheeky, which I remarked with "(?)" after the oxymoron "reasonable passion". I don't hate Apple fans, though it was a pita working with them. I don't even hate Apple -it's not that relevant to me.
