Starting to use Homebrew for backporting Linux apps to macOS, further ensuring that when the day comes I must give up macOS forever, except for MS 365 Desktop (because Microsoft), I'll have the same suite of apps on both platforms.

Kinda shocked this worked, honestly.

It took a while to install the dependencies, but was pretty similar to installation on Linux. Underlying UNIXiness of Darwin, I would guess.

Haven't used iTunes/Apple Music in years. Audacious has been my choice on linux for a long time. Before that, XMMS with a WinAmp-ish skin... Wonder if this version of Audacious has it too...

I used to ride the ABQ bus a lot. It was just $1 but free as a student, so really nothing has changed. I love the bus aside from the fact that its mostly just a shuttle for homeless people.

It's a pity because you could easily see how nice this could be for regular people.

@slims I was a huge proponent of making ridership a community benefit without user cost. I communicated my support to the ABQ City Council.

They didn't put this to a referendum, thank goodness, but had they, I would have voted for it.

That said I am NOT a fan of ART/busses. I wanted light rail.

@FlockOfCats @slims

Oh, trust me, that happened just when a Republican mayor suggested subsidies to the ART (our bus system) when it was in the design stages

Shower thought: Is the broccoli haircut Gen Z's version of the mullet? In The U.S. it seems like those are everywhere on guys. I think it looks stupid, but I'm also an old man. I don't imagine that haircut will age well.

Didn't Justin Timberlake have this hairstyle at some point?

@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

@TomatoGrilledCheese @takosix I do not know the difference.

I also probably do not care.

Looks the same to me.

Books you don't expect to appear in this type of film. The filmmaker said they were found discarded on a nearby stoop.

@vwestlife I can't remember if it or Prodigy was first, but CompuServ was definitely one of the earliest ISPs I used.

Although Linux has come a long way in the 25 years since I started using it with Red Hat 5.2 or whatever, there are still those squirrelly things that means if you install X, it breaks Y, and even when X is removed, Y remains broken, and you just have to bypass it.

I borked my keyboard layout and it seemed the layout applet (the Japanese flag in my previous screenshot) and the full screen app dashboard I installed did not play nice. In the end, I had to remove both.

@brian oh yes, just like 2020 and 2015 and 2005 and 1997...

@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

@brian At this point, modern macOS actually runs significantly worse than Linux Mint XFCE on this 2015 MacBook Pro, so these things are truly minor annoyances compared to MacOS randomly deleting applications, refusing to run pkgs, archive utility stopped working, random crashes, and fans going full speed while editing a text document.

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

@brian I can more than live with my XFCE set up if it means I don't have to drop $2000 on a new machine until 2025.

@brian I've done pretty darn good with the theme, though it's pretty much entirely bespoke:

I'm officially done with macOS on my personal machine.

Given the age of my MacBook Pro (2015) and the demands of running Ventura or Sonoma via OpenCore Legacy, it's time to move on. The errors on macOS given the hacked nature are impossible to deal with.

Linux Mint XFCE runs well enough these days to eke out one last year on this thing--and then I go with a custom Tuxedo laptop.

If there's one thing that's more and more clear to me over the course of my career is how much of developer culture is dedicated to making ourselves complicit in our own exploitation. Witness the absolute mindless doublespeak that passes for engagement on LinkedIn.

We've more than doubled since the pandemic, and that's why it is so important for members to understand that unions are not insurance schemes. You don't call the rep when you're in trouble. You have to do the work to run the union. The union is you.

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

@passenger @daniel_wengelin @avdi

Exactly. We have a hyper-local version of it called 駆け込めないで which means "don't rush in" (like trying to catch a closing train door).

Don't join when you have a problem--the train is already leaving the station. It's too late.

@avdi

My experience as a union organiser: there are only two classes, the labor class and the capitalist class. The blue-collar/white-collar distinction is a created one to sow division between workers.

If you trade labor for wages, you are working class. Whether that is coding or factory line assembly. And management doesn't view you as differently as they want you to view yourself.
