Also; tribalism.

Have you thought about using Arch?

I use Arch, btw.

And longevity. I have a 2011 MBP thats now running Debian and is still a tank. I’ve had two MacBooks since I got it but the damn thing refuses to die.

My daily laptop is an M2 Air which is ridiculously powerful for my needs, so when Apple drop OS support for it I’ll put Asahi on it and keep it trucking until the wheels fall off.

And that 2011 will still be going.

I wish.

I’ll never forget the taste ☹️

It’s a Sunday Sport article.

I was talking to my wife about this yesterday, and ultimately this is a kink that’s dicey as fuck. There’s no way to play it 100% without running the risk of rape.

I mean, if you’re a guy who gets off on women being asleep/passed out when you have sex with them, knowing that they’ve given express consent kinda kills the vibe. But you can’t expect to have sex with someone who hasn’t given you express consent.

So in the end I fall down on having zero sympathy for the guys who claim they thought she was in on it. She’s either told you it’s cool or she hasn’t.

“Advertising doesn’t work on me!” I mutter smugly, before loading up the Apple keynote to see what my next phone will do.

and those that do post don’t really interact with others

I’ve found quite the opposite on Mastodon. I get WAY more interaction on there than I ever did on Twitter.

I do a radio show on Monday nights. Despite having more followers on Twitter I never really managed to attract many listeners. Dropped it for a few years and started up again a few months back, publicising solely through Mastodon. Engagement with it is three or four times what it was before.

It’s essentially a request show, and there have been a couple of weeks where I’ve not had to pick any songs to fill the time, all of it has been filled by listener requests.

That said, that’s only my experience, it may be different for others.

Today I sold my beloved 2008 Mini, partly because, while the engine was still completely sound at 130k miles (barring the turbo that blew up three years ago), the rest of the car was beginning to fall apart. One of the rear light clusters kept shorting, interior panels worked themselves loose, the AC stopped working, the self leveling mechanism in one of the headlights broke. And so on, and so on.

I’m genuinely sad that I had to let it go, but it was on the cusp of being a massive pain in the ass to sort out.

But that engine was still solid.

Yes yes, true, but then they would have less money. They might even have to rescind their membership of the Three Comma Club, and could you have that on your conscience?

Only brown skinned ones whose first language isn’t English.

So no Chuck Tingle books then?

I ditched it entirely the day they admitted that killing third party apps was a feature not a bug.

I used Tweetbot for ten years, so the idea of having to raw dog a fascist’s plaything didn’t appeal to me.

We used to have media studies at school. I know my brother took it, but four years later, when I joined the same school, it wasn’t available to me.

What did media studies actually involve?

Pure deviancy.

I try not to engage with anything this shithead is involved in, but,

Blaming the left for unrest

As in a number of other towns and cities yesterday, the anti-fash here in Southampton MASSIVELY outnumbered the thugs who’d come to protest. The end result was…no unrest, no violence, nothing got smashed up.

‘The Left’ aren’t the ones getting arrested over all this.

I often ponder how differently things might have gone if only that plane was going a shade faster.

Aren’t all Croc wearers?

May St Peter be at the pearly gates, waiting to receive his limp penis.
