The man’s becoming a legal institution by himself.

Will probably get flamed to death for this, but… a few months ago I’ve decided to try Ubuntu on an older Intel MacBook Pro, just to try it out after many attempts in the past. (Mac user here)

Then I tried to use the trackpad. After 30 minutes of fiddling I gave up. Say what you want about Apple’s UX choices, esthetics and business practices. But boy do they know how to produce a computer and UX combo that fits like a glove.

In comparison, the Ubuntu experience was like eating nails.

And before y’all go off; I would like to switch. I’m getting tired of Apple’s business practices.

The entire club of billionaires are flying everywhere in their planes. Yet I only see memes about Taylor Swift and her use of private planes over the past week or so.

This could possibly not have anything to do with the fact that the ‘conservative’ movement being scared shitless about her activity to make sure people go out to vote?

Fox verbatim copied this in their headline. In the article they published on their website nothing about the actual fraud that was proven.

Of course, the revenge driven justice system is not looking for the most humane way to kill someone. The cruelty is the point.

As the article notes; the world at large greatly underestimates the consequences of a move from Xi. I would say the prospect of the Taiwanese blowing up their factories instead of bowing to the will of Bejing is not really that far fetched. But perhaps I’m wrong, and would Taiwan also have many people with the same soft spine that many in the west are showing when it comes down to weaning off our reliance on fossil fuels.

I would just go with a 2012 Mac mini, they can be upgraded to 16 gb of RAM and have 2 slots for SATA SSDs. On my work we’ve just used one to install a complete K8s cluster on it for demo purposes. People are amazed of the power from such as small form factor, quiet too!

Also, the Murdochs are known to fan out the EV bullshit that is being sold these days via their channels.

It’s only a matter of time before driving an EV is considered woke.
