I feel you. I still use an intel macbook with tweaks i cannot remember plus 3rd party utils like Turbo Boost switcher. That experience alone has kept me from upgrading to newer models.
In retrospect my powerbook g4 (Ti) and os 9 was peak computing.
Oh cool, its audience score seems to have improved considerably compared to last time I checked‽
That is good news for the filmmakers.
the hitting close to home part - yeah I get it. If you are in a red state I hope you stay safe and find a way out of the situation. It sucks so bad if the government stops working for you.
Bit of a non-sequitur but I recently had success in pulling a "conservative" friend back from the edge by pointing out Naomi Kleins mirror world logic oligarchs and their fascist enablers use and letting him draw his own conclusions.
For example, Qanon's obsession with "child trafficking" is a mirror-world version of the real crises of child poverty, child labor, border family separations and kids in cages. Anti-vax is the mirror-world version of the true story of the Sacklers and their fellow opioid barons making billions on Oxy and fent, with the collusion of corrupt FDA officials and a pliant bankruptcy court system.
You're right painting opposition to their weird gaslighting politics as foreign and in a racial light seems on brand for them.
This article is itself just a diversion. The owner is a local oligarch who for example invited musk to his birthday party. This is anything to not talk about the massive multi year Russian sabotage campaign in the real world Der Spiegel recently uncovered.( archive ) This campaign often masqueraded as a green party/progressively motivated sabotage to further damage the image of the only party who is all-in on heat pumps, wind turbines and solar, a cause doepfner and his oligarch allies despise. So they talk about inconsequential shit like this in their rags.
Yeah, I love how easy it is to google recipes. Ten years ago this stuff was much harder. For completeness sake I mostly use recipes where one can exchange eggs for flax seeds, shredded in my mixer. The costly factory made egg replacement is better for e.g. quiche.
Hell yes it was weird as hell! It was also the most conceptually mind boggling (with all the gender and sexual fluidity on top of everything else). I felt from style of writing and tone it was very personal and intimate, guess thats why I liked it so much.
The weirdest book to me was feersum endshin (sp?), but I mean, we're reading Banks "it was the day my Grandmother exploded", so....
I love that one of the characters in Iain Banks' "Transition" tries to find aliens by spotting airtight -looking vessels (ships, vans,..) during solar eclipses, for this exact reason.
yeah disconnecting the fedora drive while doing repairs is important.
Always unplug your Linux drives when doing windows work, makes your life easier.
I once borked my windows install because I left the designated (not yet installed) Linux drive plugged in - then windows decided for some God forsaken reason to install the bootloader on the Linux disk. Had to copy the bootloader from install disk like someone else in this thread already typed out.
