And somehow those prices won’t really drop when the tarriffs are quietly removed.

I’m looking at you, energy prices.

Which one? Either would lead to remarkably different evenings.

They haven’t yet responded, so I can only assume that they died of how much they hate you. Sorry.

I’ll test Linux on a Mac this afternoon and see how it goes, but I’m optimistic it will just work also.

I have Mint running on 2011 and 2014 Mac minis. It’s basically flawless. The only trouble you might have is finding the wifi driver, depending on which model you’re using. Iirc, the minis were fine, but the 2011 MacBook Pro I put it on was a little more difficult to track down. But ethernet worked right out of the box, so it wasn’t a huge deal.

Linux on Apple Silicon is a trickier proposition, but getting less tricky all the time.

Bonjour!

I can’t believe that nothing mainly concerning the Ankh Morpork Watch has ever been produced. If nothing else, they could be the source for a great TV show, but so far nothing has ever been made. It’s weird.

I got an LG OLED a few weeks ago. Hands down the best TV screen I’ve ever owned.

Fuck knows what the stock OS does because I’ve only watched Apple TV through it.

Yeah, like several other people on the internet I’m not American, so I have no idea what this is about.

Drugs Are Really Excellent?

Does it incorporate Smart Pipe™ technology?

Detectorists is a masterpiece. Everything about that show is warm-hearted. Not even Lance and Andy’s rivalry with Simon and Garfunkel ever turns truly nasty.

WHAT IS THE CHARGE? Shooting a RAPIST? A disgusting rapist?

Yeah, I’m in the process of shifting all of my workflows over to Linux/Android from all-Apple, but my Macs are a huge sticking point. My main computer is an M2 Macbook Air, which is ridiculously quick. I’m basically just waiting for Asahi to gain display port over USB, at which point I’ll ditch macOS. But until then…

Mr Mobile talked about this in his review of Oppo’s Find N5.

Essentially, while the product is great and folding phones are finding more utility, the price is still prohibitively high.

I upgraded to a Pixel 9 a few months ago because I specifically wanted to run GrapheneOS. I did considered a Pixel Fold, but really couldn’t justify the extra cost. Maybe next time though…

Correct

Is it that he’s a cunt?

The last Marvel offering I saw in a cinema was Avengers: Endgame.

Literally nothing since then has looked like it offered anything different or better, so at most I’ve watched a couple on D+, or torrented them. I just don’t give a shit about any of that stuff any more.

The last Marvel thing I watched was Agatha All Along, which I only finished for the sake of completion. The moment we learned the identity of the kid, I pretty much stopped giving a shit, because at that point it just dropped into being yet another MCU property being used as promotional material for whatever they’ve got coming next.

I really enjoyed S01 or Andor, but I can’t be sure I’ll bother with S02 because I don’t trust them to keep it self-contained, basically requiring me to watch 3 other series so I can have some idea of what’s going on. They pulled that shit with S03 of The Mandalorian, so I never finished it.

See, I don’t understand why anyone would need to immediately follow that many randoms. And I don’t get the need to speedrun social media.

But hey, it takes all sorts.

You can follow hashtags on Mastodon. So if you want music recommendations you can follow #NowPlaying, (for example) and every time someone uses that tag it’ll appear in your timeline as if you follow that person. It’s nice for follow discovery too, because if the same people keep posting links to tunes you dig, then it’s a fair bet that you’ll have similar interests.

I’ve not tried it myself, but I guess that in theory, you could follow a bunch of hashtags without ever following an actual account.
