@funnelfiasco Technically I have too.

Sometimes I remember this.

@b0rk macOS with Macports or Homebrew is all around a delightful experience for me as a CLI nerd. I get all the pretty tools when I need them, and all the utilities I actually use are right there.

On macOS I miss the total flexibility of Linux or the broad assumed compatibility of Windows, and every once in a while Apple gets an idea that breaks everything for months (transition to x86, transition to Apple Silicon). But overall it’s good.

@erosdiscordia sorry I missed this. Now I understand better why so many don’t federate with that instance.

Logged into the MBP, greeted with 14.4 update required, started update, walked the dogs, got home, refresh coffee, sit down, and only had to wait ten more minutes before the update finished.

No wonder people stall on OS updates.

looking forward to macOS 28.8 BTW

@VE2UWY well that’s dang annoying.

The emerging unholy merging of Godwin and Betteridge where if you see “woke” in a title and it’s not about circadian rhythms you know the article’s gonna be awful.

@philsplace honestly I don’t remember that it was required, just that the OS was being pushy about it.

Only had to remember three times before plugging in my headset to recharge.

Might even have enough time to be usable in the appointment I need it for.

job description mentioning “ability to prioritize” and yes i admit that’s really important and gosh i wish i was better at it but

i have learned if they’re calling it out in the job requirements it means that’s something they don’t have either

moving on to the next listing

for both our sakes

@mwl @djsundog glad to see DM of the Rings get the shoutout it deserved.

Though Darths & Droids remains my favorite “what if movie but TTRPG campaign”

@oclsc Apparently!

Misread that as “Agile Scum Team” and for a second imagined a secret third development workflow.
