A higher-res image

I mean, I had a 2011 Macbook with MacOS chugging along until early this year iirc, when the SSD croaked after another reboot due to power outage. I would probably still use it myself if not for the fact that Macbooks throttle the CPU when there’s no battery, since the power adapter can’t deliver peak power.

It has 16 GB of RAM, which is still the norm for laptops. Moreover, it actually supported higher RAM frequency than officially advertised, which I promptly exploited by buying said higher-freq RAM.

I was just taking a walk through busy streets, and thought about how I’ve heard of unbranded high-quality clothes and tech for people that have money but no desire to see advertisement in their house, much less be a walking advert — but I’ve never heard of unbranded cars. All the pricey car marques display their logos eagerly, and especially the ‘executive’ cars’ logos are larger than others’.

In fact, it’s with really odd cars like retro-styled ones or obscure limited-production outfits, that I have to google as to what the hell I’m looking at. E.g. Morgan has their hood logo looking into the sky, might as well not be there at all.

True, however iirc the tools panel layout can be adjusted in standard GIMP — maybe not to the width of one icon, and by default the panel is also used for the tools options. Afaiu there was more sense in Photogimp when GIMP had floating windows, those really were dark times.

My main issue with GIMP is that I can never memorize the location of the buttons for less-frequently-used tools, and the icons are not too recognizable. But that can be fixed with an icon theme, and perhaps with reordering the buttons if that’s indeed possible.

which is false

“Trust me bro, it’s completely different.”

Actual apps: tools on the left, layers on the right, the pic in the middle. The important menus are in the same places. Apparently Photoshop users lack pattern recognition.

People both here and on Reddit keep complaining about the ‘bad UI’ of GIMP compared to Photoshop. Which UI is laid out the same way as in Photoshop.

Fun fact, this is also why Macbooks, at least some models, throttle the CPU if the battery is missing. My old Macbook went from 2.4 GHz to 800 MHz without the battery.

How do you know your cat’s favourite number?

Thanks for your input, I didn’t even know that killing customers would increase companies’ revenue.

Yes, it’s relevant, because DEI inherently limits what the company does, and yet the shareholders voted to keep it. Apparently Apple’s shareholders aren’t bigoted idiots.

if 2028 goes Republican in US they probably won’t even do a logo change that pride month

Nice job showing your ass here, because Apple never ‘changed the logo’ for the pride month. Where the fuck are they supposed to change it, on the Macbooks?

Just to check, would Apple’s commitment to DEI policies look as thrown-away profit to shareholders?

I use Doom Emacs, so we’re both in glass houses here. I love Lua because it’s fast as fuck, but it’s militantly imperative, which is a big bummer. In comparison, Lisp still has a lot to teach a novice-ish programmer. Fennel is the best of both worlds, I guess.

Vim: quick and easy

Emacs: properly decent programming language in the configs, supports Vim bindings via Evil, Org-mode as the ultimate notes app

Did you triple check which device you picked?

I checked five times, actually. And then I check some more.

Hmmm, bit of an oversight on the part of whoever came up with the encryption format. The disk blocks can just fail by themselves, after all.

See if the headers are duplicated somewhere else on the partition (at the end or somesuch).

This is where Ansible comes in.

Well, ackshually

keep in mind that linux started and still is a server os primarily. DEs started out for the developers to have the ability to have some GUI on the side as well

Absolute nonsense. Unix GUIs and workstations predate Linux. The X Window System was first released in 1984, the Motif widget toolkit in 1989, and both were alternatives to existing proprietary GUIs. The workstation landscape was a Wild West before Windows prevailed.

Buy used. Worked great for me.
