- drewtato 3y agoThis is like shortening github to git
- weikju 3y agonot really, since there's the extra context of "Mac" right before it, so it's easier to know what it's about...
- jabbany 3y agoThey do have a lot of very weird abbreviations, like in the getting-started/install page there are options for: MacOS (Intel/AMD) (...=> amd macs? I guess hackintosh?), Linux AMD (no Intel this time?) I get they are abbreviating amd64 but still... I've never seen it done like this...
- solarkraft 3y agoIt's approximately like shortening "Processor made by Apple" to "Processor". The important bit is gone.
- wussboy 3y agoFine. “Mac (Apple)”
