There’s nothing ‘altruistic’ about reddit

Oh, I already do :)
And I don’t let my TV connect to the Internet, and instead do everything through a separate device which I have full control of.
I’m pretty committed to never having to see this.
If I ever have to see this, I’m gonna end that commercial permanently with a fist through the screen.
You answered your own question. If OP can’t use it, maybe they’ll buy a subscription, thinks Adobe.
Super scummy.
You’re right of course and that should be on Microsoft to better implement their driver loading. But yes.
If I send you on stage at the Olympic Games opening ceremony with a sealed envelope
And I say “This contains your script, just open it and read it”
And then when you open it, the script is blank
You’re gonna freak out
Haha yeah.
Honestly though, while I’d certainly look through my photos when I was bored on the train (having no Internet on phones then of course) that was never the intent of how I expected those photos to be viewed.
I’d regularly transfer all the photos to my PC and that’s what I considered the “real” way to look at them, and email them from there to other people.
Cared about:
Didn’t care about:
His content is really good. A lot of his audience is still people from the old days who basically grew up watching ethoslab, and his style as a creator has changed a little too as he’s grown up with them.
He’s definitely still a youtuber whose uploads I look out for. Very comfortable content that makes me feel super chill.
Sure, I was there then. I was on Facebook right in the beginning, when you needed a university email address to even sign up.
So that’s true, but it’s also true to say that early Facebook wasn’t the same as modern Facebook. Early Facebook was - as the name suggested, a place to connect with friends, share pictures and plan events. You’d probably check it once a day to see what was happening, but that was it. And your home feed would be a direct and unfiltered view of what all your friends posted, in the order they posted it, without bias. And you could easily catch up on everything that had happened and then you were finished.
It’s the birth of the algorithm and infinitely scrollable tailored content feeds that really defines what social media has become.
This and mobile Internet have really gone hand-in-hand. The algorithm has made us want to be scrolling all the time, and mobile Internet has made it possible .
I agree.
OPs answer of saying that WiFi and phone Internet changed the world is correct, but it’s not specific enough or the full truth of the matter.
If we had the Internet and modern phones but the only sites that existed were those from 2002, we’d be living in a very different world.
Mobile Internet is the enabling technology, but if social media didn’t exist we’d probably leave our phones in our pockets most of the time.
You need a CD flap, and that’s the biggest visible feature of the console, so best to make it the centrepiece, and design around it. And CDs are circular so yeah, let’s follow that in the design.
You need two buttons, one for power and one for open. Symmetry is always appealing, so make them symmetrical and balanced on both sides.
Very much an example of “form follows function”
Littering.
When someone carelessly throws their trash on the ground, that says a huge amount about their respect for other people, their feelings about the environment, and even their views on social equality.
It’s a tiny thing, but an immediate dealbreaker.
People who throw their trash on the ground are the same people who yell and get mad at minimum-wage staff, while those staff hold back tears. They are the people who take more food at a buffet restaurant than they could ever even eat. They are the people who think the world and everyone in it owes them whatever they want, but without ever giving anything back.
I bet we all know a person whose car looks like a scary biohazard of old drive-through cups they haven’t cleaned yet, but I’d much rather date that person than someone who throws it all out the window.
What does that advice mean to you, in practical terms? Like with an example?
Just FYI, asklemmy is intended for interesting and open-ended subjects of discussion, not for single-answer support problems like this, so I won’t be surprised if this thread is deleted.
That said, I feel your machine should be compatible with opencore. Its running Yosemite 10.10 which meets the minimum.
When checking your model make sure you are looking in the right place - press cmd+space, type “system information” and go there. Should be an entry like “MacBookPro[number],[number]” - not the model number, but the device identifier.
I personally have an older Macbook pro which is running Linux, so that’s also a decent option if you want to do it. Good luck!
I’m pretty sure that a lot of these virus and malware scanners began as normal and well-intentioned businesses, and only later went bad.
I used to use Avast and AVG back in the day (like 10+ years ago) and they mostly just sat back and did what you’d expect, without being intrusive about it.
But of course the inevitable march of capitalism happens and they all start trying to make more and more money. Intimidating users with scare tactics. Aggressive pop-ups. Selling user data.
Wouldn’t go near them these days with a shitty stick.
My biggest problem is security updates.
The “x years of upgrades” model is okay when it’s for an app, where you can just keep using it with the old feature set and no harm is done.
But Unraid isn’t an app, it’s a whole operating system.
With this new licensing model, over time we will see many people sticking with old versions because they dont want to pay to renew - and then what happens when critical security vulnerabilities are found?
The question was already asked on the Unraid forum thread, and the answer from them on whether they would provide security updates for non-latest versions was basically “we don’t know” - due to how much effort they would need to spend to individually fix all those old versions, and the team size it would require.
It’s going to be a nightmare.
Any user who cares about good security practice is effectively going to be forced to pay to renew, because the alternative will be to leave yourself potentially vulnerable.

The number one thing I noticed after installing Linux on my old macbook was that the battery life was immediately halved.
I totally expected that to happen, though, because my previous experience had always been that power management on Linux was kinda terrible.
Time to try this out and see!
