Let's pretend for a second that #Linux and #Mac don't exist.

Why the hell are so many people using #Windows 11 on personal computers (personal use)? Even people that absolutely despise AI continue to use it. A little critical thinking would cause one to question why.

Windows 10 support may be "officially" dead, but anyone who can Google would learn of #TSForge, which gives you years of #ESU, and therefore, no reason to use Windows 11 in place of Windows 10.

I have managed to get Windows 10 operating on the latest hardware, including my Strix Halo tablet. I even got the WiFi 7 driver to install.

My PC (or any Linux or Mac in general) is faster than yours, if you're running Windows 11. I can pretty much say that no matter what hardware you have. /r

I did a lot of work today, some quite frustrating, getting widgets all working across Mac, iPhone and iPad. Still some tweaks needed, but the new app is almost done, functionality wise 🤔

🪨 HyperCard on the Macintosh 🛠️

The "software erector set" that launched careers and an entire industry, and came tantalizingly close to delivering us the world wide web 6 years early. Our last post of 2025 takes a deep look at this important title. I also muse a bit on the approach HyperCard takes in extending the definition of what it means to develop software. Happy holidays!

Okay this is wild. So there was this third-party screen reader for the Mac called Vosh. It's recently been picked up by some one who has had enough of Apple's neglect of the Mac and canned responses. And I understand that. But also I kinda want to ask why not Linux, but I understand that as well, that everything else they like about the Mac except the screen reader.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1/12 From where did the inspiration for your current WIP come? (2/2)

My other WIP came from a post someone wrote about how so many fantasy titles take the form of A Something of X and Y, like the phrase a bowl of mac and cheese.
It instantly made me think of an urban fantasy tale about someone who fights demons in between shifts in their Glasgow chip shop. We fucking LOVE mac and cheese in Scotland, it is a chippy staple!

Est-ce que quelqu'un saurait comment activer le rétro-éclairage du clavier d'un macbook pro 2008 sous Debian ?

C'est pour mon vieux papa qui voit plus rien.

J'ai tenté plusieurs trucs sans succès...

Are you a Mac user and a grammar fan? Here's a tip for typing your favorite dashes. No mouse required!

The en dash – can be typed easily by using Option+- (That’s hold the Option key while typing the dash).

The em dash — can be typed easily by using Option+Shift+- (That’s hold the Option and Shift keys while typing the dash).

#macOS could easily gain market share by releasing a #Mac/#MacBook with (off the shelves) replaceable RAM and Storage... but #Apple ain't about making easy money like that lol. They'd rather bait you with veeery fair pricing base models... and then upcharge you 10x the market price (not a joke) for memory/storage upgrades.

Fortunately these base models have 16GB of RAM now (for the same price as before)... but still. In any computer, these two parts are likely the first to die, esp storage, and having them soldered or packaged together with the SOC is... mind-boggling, for something you'd want to put to use for as long as possible.

The irony where you make fun of #FOSS advocates who use #Mac but you buy a #Pixel phone so you can use custom #roms and #grapeheneos but you are forced to stick to your stock ROM due to #Android enterprise and you now have more #Google than before. #facepalm

Apple discontinued its iWeb website creator over a decade ago, and I thought it was time for a revisit! I made a website with iWeb and checked how it stacked up against modern websites. #apple #mac #retrocomputing #webdev
