Back in the Slashdot days, where they let this shit run wild, I hated this day every year.

Computer people (like me) buy Mac minis, frequently as an extra device. Regular people who don’t care about computers beyond wanting a nice one buy laptops. I believe it completely.

Despite the hits Asahi took losing two of it’s most prominent devs (one of whom is basically a wizard, as far as I can tell), I expect it to attract more attention than the more expensive devices because it’ll have a much wider potential audience. On top of that, lots of groundwork that was laid deconstructing the M1 and M2 chips means the team isn’t starting from zero, despite differences in the chip.

It’ll take some time, but it’s basically guaranteed to happen and I think sooner is more likely than later.

I don’t know why anyone would question why a psychopath with too much money would lie. I mean, c’mon everyone. What does he have to gain?!

I wish he’d eat a homeless man’s ass.

They’re great devices.

Recently, my partner’s 18yo nephew asked her if she had any iPods (she doesn’t). I took a photo of the eight or so different models that I still have in storage and sent it to him just to gloat. I’m a monster.

C’mon now. You’re not nearly rich or influential enough to get away with that and you know it. Rules are for regular people, not the rich or mighty. Sheesh.

It’s finally the year of Desktop Linux, about fifteen (or more) years after people thought it would happen. I’m happy for all the nerds who are finally vindicated. (I like Linux, but I’m an Apple guy.)

You would have really liked the comedian we saw last night. Epstein files were the main topic. Sammy Obeid. Good stuff.

That was my reaction when I read about them pulling copilot and such. I think it’s probably the reaction of every software nerd.

It seems like we’re at a real turning point for Linux adoption. I’m an Apple nerd, but I love seeing people switch to Linux and write about what a (mostly) positive experience it is. Cheers to my fellow nerds getting off the screaming pile of garbage MS if forcing on people who just want a computer that works.

Oh, that would be a shame. Not like I was already planning on buying a new computer this year and the idea of over-paying due to RAM shortages and other bs has made me mad at them. After already being mad at them for a lot of reasons that were more abstract in how they harmed me. Fuck 'em.

Hey, you know that Microsoft guy in a high position who pissed off devs on Twitter by saying their code would be replaced by AI and then a lot of the internet called him on his shit? Maybe I can work for him (because I’m certainly not talented enough to get hired directly under ass-face here).

Oh dear, Tim. I guess you just told us your future.

“What else can we do that’s hostile to our customers?”

The next move will be bringing back Clippy and then a full-screen ad that you have to dismiss every ten seconds.

Worked on my Mac. Might be because I have the StopTheMadness extension. It specifically tries to prevent such bullshit.

Virtualbox is free. I hate it, but it definitely works at no cost. VMware Workstation is also free.

Edit: without double-checking to make sure I’m saying it correctly, you probably want to avoid a bridged network and assign one of the other types of network adapters for separation of network devices, but you’ll have to search the terminology to find details.

I’m a Proxmox user and this is the wrong use of it. Proxmox is for hosting multiple VMs, not a solution for needing one.

Sucks to be the person who made that commit. Genuinely.

I country with a working legislative would prevent a market leader from attempting to prevent consumers from exercising their freedom to choose. Oh well.

We’ve never been safer! /s
