It's been years since the machines I've owned can sleep properly. I choose sleep from the 🍎 menu, and the screen blanks and comes right back on as often as not. If I let the screen sleep after a period without using the machine, sometimes I'll return an hour later and find the screen on, and unlocked. Total and management failure.

@marczak nope. I think it’s that awake on network access setting.

@marczak who got time for dat?

@marczak that setting shouldn’t affect the screen saver or display sleep.

@marczak what i am saying that when enabled, it prevents display sleep.

@andypiper those comments are written by the illuminati anyway.

While looking for a current, simple, old-school MacDraw-like app for macOS, I’ve found that @libreoffice has a draw module that works well enough for my basic needs.

Utter stupidity. Utter, utter, idiotic change. I have no idea at all how this change could get pushed out, other than "the boss said to do it". 🤮 https://mashable.com/article/twitter-dot-com-posts-change-to-x-dot-com-ios

@andypiper so much for hardcore engineering. That change never would have landed pre-elon.

@andypiper I’ve gone down some retro rabbit holes on youtube. Do I really need to know the pinouts of the various flavors of 6502? It’s a sickness.

@marczak I’m talking about home internet. I have tmo cell service, which is just ok.

I'm not saying they're remembering it wrong, but riding in a car without seatbelts, while your parents smoked and argued with the windows closed, was not the joyride the memes would have you believe

@pborenstein my father drove an Opel Kadett Caravan, similar to what’s pictured below, and I sometimes rode in the cargo space, sliding around on a blanket covering the metal cargo floor. Somehow, I survived.

@jimluther @thestrangelet Are you kidding? At one point (maybe still), I had a box full of the thermal travel cups with the red Copland “8” on them. Used them for years.

We had a leak in our 2nd floor deck once and used an 8' vinyl “Copland” banner to cover it until we could patch it. We wondered if any pilots taking off from Oakland Airport were Mac users and would recognize it.

And then there’s the Mac OS 8 semi truck, that my kids played with growing up…

@Migueldeicaza is this the consequence of hardware manufacturers using Android and not limiting the features?

TIL @bbedit has an official song.

Was installing BBEdit 15, ran into it in the "About Box", scroll all the way to the bottom.

This always been there?

@davemark @bbedit it’s not new. Not sure when it appeared.

While delving into native 68k Mac development, I have discovered that I am now soft and weak and find it rough to read dense C code without at least some minimal syntax highlighting.

But as far as I can see, it simply DID NOT EXIST back in the 68k Mac era. BBEdit 4 supports it, but it's a post-System-7 post-PPC fat binary.

Anyone know of anything before that? Were there any notable competitors to BBEdit for programmer's editors on 68k Macs?

@jongary@macaw.social avatar

@davepolaschek @eschaton @alexr @siegel @swetland What’s all this talk about color? Real 68k development was done on black and white. If you were lucky, you had a radius two page (1024x768ish) display.

What’s the current evidence on the relative merits of getting Novavax as a booster vs getting yet more Moderna/Pfizer boosters?

I know there was speculation that protein-based vaccines like Novavax •might• provide protection complementary to mRNA-based vaccines, and that mixing and matching •might• do better than merely repeating.

What’s the status of the science on that? A web search suggests “fuzzy.” Anybody have useful info beyond “heard on social media?”

@inthehands i have trouble with their just-in-the-nick-of-time stocking of some of the stuff i need. The staff behind the counter are great, but corporate management is squeezing the bejesus out of them.
