Hey fedi, did anyone try out
OpenCore Legacy Patcher to put new macOS versions on older macs? A friend has a 2017 MacBookAir and he asked me to swap the SSD for a larger. I noticed that the last OS on this machine (macOS 12) is now unsupported so I was looking into alternative ways of updating it.

Weirdly prophetic Italian ad for an atlas from the early '90s: a Soviet-looking astronaut crashes in a field, an old lady is toiling nearby

Old lady: What the hell just happened?
Astronaut: Mother Russia!
Old lady: Russia my ass, this is Ukraine
Astronaut: But […]

@colleensmangarecs.bsky.social they don't have the typical artifacts of raw genAI outputs, so someone might have touched them up. Even ignoring the weird hands/feet they're wildly inconsistent in style, no way a single artist would have used a completely different style for eyes/eyebrows in each […]

Daughter made her first OD&D character and promptly choose charisma as her dump stat, without me saying or suggesting anything about it. Some things just never change.

If new people are coming go check out those #introduction posts and do some boosting. We need to build an ever wider, more inclusive network.

If there's something that sets the fediverse apart is that we can build authentic social relationships here. This isn't just a surrogate of old media […]

Looks like we may have an influx of new people on the Fediverse after that mess on Bluesky.

Be kind to them. Adapting to the technical and social aspects of Fedi can take some time.

@jrconlin no replacements on AliExpress? I've found all sort of bizarre chargers and power supplies there. Whether they're actually safe to use and won't catch fire is another story.

Game developer friends help me understand how Humble Bundle and the whole redeem-the-key-on-Steam works. Who gets the money for those sales? Does Humble get a cut, then Steam get a cut, then the developer? Or is it a different arrangement? I've bought very few games on Steam in the last few […]

@shtrom it's fantastic, gives them a lot of social and political satire along the way (some of which we'll have to explain)

It's worth noting that Gentoo''s GRUB package already creates a signed EFI module that loads an external grub configuration file (grub.cfg) and which can be used out-of-the-box with shim. In this setup however the GRUB configuration file is not verified during boot. In my setup the GRUB […]
