Trump's punishment for using the wrong "there" on a PUBLIC PLATFORM as THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES should be lifetime imprisonment (obviously) and the comprehensive seizure and immediate liquidation of his whole empire toward the cause of American literacy.
For #ScreenshotSaturday I give you: the exact moment I decided to leave Instagram for Mastodon.
lemme append some emphasis to this boost:
HOLY FUCK YES.
thank you. another instance where seeing a post a realizing this repeating experience of mine is at least not expected behavior for *one other user* is a relief. https://mastodon.social/@mcc/114768309602218543
It starts at the very top. Tim Cook has no taste.
Cook put an empty-headed pretty-boy in charge of software engineering.
And Cook put hardware designers Jony Ive and then Alan Dye in charge of software design.
These were big terrible choices, and many of the smaller terrible choices follow from them.
some of the more complex moods…
the silent observer,
the denial about how frightening infatuation is
the Guantanamo,
the Nilla wafer.
me screaming MAGSAFE so loud it can easily be heard outside the car with all the windows up every time my phone fucking shoots off its mount.
@DavidBlue It's dangerous to run outdated systems. On WinXP or 7, a system gets compromised within 20-30 minutes of just being online. Sometimes sooner. There are bot scanners for that stuff. The same goes for old Mac versions. If you have an old Intel mac, consider installing a modern Linux on it.
I mean, you can emulate the MacOSX look to a tee anyway: https://mastodon.social/@eugenialoli/114653608461737248
@eugenialoli does anyone know how to get homebrew to stop telling me my macOS version is outdated in a manner which sounds like its about to threaten legal action if I keep querying it.
I got yet another Mac. It's a Macbook Air 13" from 2012, got it for $120. I love these old Intel Macs. Obviously the old MacOS was deleted to make space for an updated Linux Mint. Everything worked great, except the b43 wifi driver, which made the laptop not to wake up from sleep. I blacklisted 2-3 drivers it was pulling along with it, and I now use a tiny wifi dongle with great success. Overall, very happy.
