Right, except Linux runs on 40 year old hardware, and it could run on any Apple device if they weren’t an anti-competitive cartel and we didn’t live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracy”.

Planned obsolescence

Hiding executable code in the srt file likely evades various security software.

They wouldn’t get to meet God. They’d go straight to hell.

“2 in the pink, 1 in the stink”

I’m so sorry. I can’t believe I’ve done this.

Sure, mods will always be necessary when it comes to public/untrusted comms, but just like I don’t want my telco or email provider to decide which/when my TRUSTED contacts can contact me, the same is true for the rest of their speech.

You’re analogous to someone in 2013 arguing that the solution to facebooks crimes/corruption/censorship is to migrate to whatsapp…

Jumping from platform to platform, server to server each time is a bandaid solution which is not censorship resistant, especially against some totalitarian oppressor, and benefits hostile actors the most; fracturing groups into smaller and smaller bubbles. A real fix is a solution (e.g. protocol) that enables users to view a single person/entities/orgs comms regardless of what any middleman decides. The users trust should override anyone else’s.

What happens when the lunatics own the media and social media? Let them remove all evidence of genocide and corruption? Just accept the insanity and authoritarianism?

Although true, the existence of mods is an attack vector the criminally corrupt will always exploit, and every anti-authoritarian should not oppose these systems because they’re currently exploited by the corrupt.

Fascists are buying up all media and social media explicitly to silence opposition, control the narrative, and propagandize (the thing they claim everyone else is doing to them, while being the most blatantly criminal of perpetrators).

I can’t remember the specific protocol, but the one I saw which was most interesting relies on you subscribing to individuals, and building trust through that “social graph of trust”. It’s best to view it as someone owns a domain and you’re subscribing to their rss feed, except they’re identity is cryptographically verified, and the people they engage with have more weight in your feed than those that don’t… as opposed to whatever some technofascist algorithm, oligarch-beholden journalist or corrupt mod (who may very well be a paid operative) deems valuable or worthy of your attention; basically mimicking the way people build relationships in real life (without third party oversight).

Sounds like the problem is people leaving plugs lying on the ground? Otherwise known as user error.

Cool beans 👏

brew list --cask

I think they’ve started flagging unnotarized apps as (deprecated), so maybe do a brew info on each.

More like sometime around 1971-1980. That’s when the boomers started to become a major voting block and pull up the ladders behind them; promoting neoliberalism, privatisation, and the destruction of social programs that they benefited from, thus destroying wealth equality and the working class. Women entered the workforce en mass, and out sourcing started.

Conservatives are mentally-ill fascists. They can’t be reasoned with because they have no reason.

“Dishwasher safe” only means the plastic itself won’t warp or disintegrate at consumer dishwasher temps. This is not the same as microwave safe, which means it won’t warp or disintegrate at boiling/steam temps.

All of the studies I’ve seen have proven that all food/dishwasher “safe” plastics release millions of particles every cycle. All plastics basically release microplastics at all times, but the amount rapidly increases at anything above room temp.

Most consumer dishwashers don’t go higher than 65-75c on any cycle (read the fucking manual). They clean by washing food away, not sanitization; including their self cleaning cycles.

“Food grade” has nothing to do with boiling point. Chicken is safe to eat at 75c. The min temp to prevent harmful bacteria growth of cooked food is 60c. Most of the salad you’ve ever eaten grew out of shit and has never seen temps above 30c, post harvest.

9.5 years is ancient in smart home devices.

Though, any company that stops supporting a device should be legally required to open source all dependencies required to operate it, or provide a full refund.

This is why I switched to ZFS with sanoid+ syncoid. Any breaking update or data corruption can be rolled back, giving you the freedom to auto-update with minimal risk.

And if you roll all your dockers on ZFS as datasets + sanoid you can just rollback to the last snapshot, if that ever does happen.

Apple’s transitioning to a services based company, which includes ad tech. They’re better than Google only for now. The enshittification of their OS’s has been ongoing, and will only get worse. macOS has had so many super user features removed, and so many iOS walled-garden regressions added.

Ever heard of relevance? That is something you would use once on setup and rarely ever again. 99.99% of the time you want to just open the app.
