FreeBSD doesn't have Wi-Fi driver for my old MacBook. AI build one for me
RE: https://oslo.town/@matt/116109981885032294
This happened again. Took a bunch of photos today and all of them but two would open. One of them is a nice shot, but I have no way of editing it now because my MacBook decided against it.
I did some digging online and you *should* be able to go to the Security options in Settings and see an unique notification for this alert and press "Open anyway"... but doing that just brings up this dialog again.
I'm stuck in a loop, unable to edit photos of my own family. 🙃
Oh, nice. Apple has decided that I am not allowed to open some of the photos from my Sony camera because... 🤷
hi #Aus frens 👋

Nice, maybe I'll switch to MacBook one time 
There is an article from Habr.com (Russian analog of Reddit with IT posts) with detailed instructions about FreeBSD 14.3 (i386) installation to the MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo

Setting up a new #Macbook and just going great!
1. Had to configure the Wi-Fi, timezone, etc. 3+ times before hitting the desktop.
2. Terminal settings hung multiple times, preventing force quit and full computer restart.
3. Switching to zsh completely borked my terminal because I was missing tmux.

#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.

Running #IceCubesApp on #tahoe.
The font in the app is totally fine and crisp when the windows is on the local “retina”-display of the #MacBook.
But on the external display, connected via DisplayLink (hardware-adapter), the font is blurred or unsharp.
Moving the app window back to the internal display: navigation is re-rendered and everything is crisp again.

@sjvn Just gave my 12-year-old #Apple #MacBook Pro a fresh life with Linux Mint. 🚀
On newer machines I go for #Ubuntu, but here I happily skipped #GNOME and went for #KDE. Smooth, fast, and still rocking ~2h battery life. Proof that old hardware can shine again! 💻✨

Die MacBooks haben einen Sensor, der den Winkel des Laptopdeckels bestimmen kann. Sam Henri Gold hat das genutzt, um das Knarzen einer Tür zu simulieren.

One more screenshot of the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Honestly, from all the themes I've done, this one I enjoy the most. It's rather convincing because it doesn't use docks or launchers that all modern OSes use, so it feels different.
