I’ve been working through this on my old 2012 Mac Pro. My issue has been my graphics card. In that era any non-mac graphics card won’t give you the boot-screen you need to choose which OS to use, or even to choose a USB boot for installing the Linux os. I got Refind (a super light bootloader) to work with a bit of extra tooling. You can also use opencore, but that is more challenging and makes a lot more changes.
Pop! Os user going on a year now and I can’t recommend it enough, at least as a first distro.
Good point. I can see that.
I tried Ubuntu in college and people told me it was a phase… joke’s on them.
Why? No worse than any other job market right now. Sure Google layoffs get headlines but it’s not like tech skill are getting any less employable across sectors. If anything those skills are more critical now than ever.
Do you have Nordstrom Rack near you? They often have new cashmere marked down to 20 or 30 bucks.
It’s time to think beyond personal enrichment. That kind of greed got us into this mess.
I’m not sure we are thinking the same thing when it comes to “AI safety”.
What indications do you see of “too much AI safety?” I am struggling to see any meaningful, legally robust, or otherwise cohesive AI safety whatsoever.
I wanna open a beer garden the size of a parking spot next to it that sells cans of Rainier for a dollar out of a cooler and has a boom box and some plastic kiddie furniture. Party on.
All of that requires a livable wage first. How many times do people have to prove that no amount of “dilligence” will allow people to live, let alone save on minimum wage in most places?
I was doing a similar breakdown back when I bought my System76. The difference was upgradability. If I ever thought I might need more RAM I’d have to buy that up front on the MacBook air, putting its price over 1,700 off the shelf for the max ram. System76 cost close to the base MacBook air model, but I can add RAM and upgrades at my choosing, find the best price, and install them myself when I need them. That was worth it for me.
"I built this company with these hands. Built it from the ground up…
It’s done? Oh. Good. Right. All right, that’s it. It’s over, you can all go."
I think Mountain Dew is the best soda.
They’re just a Four Loko for pussies.
Seems like “Christianity” and “following Jesus’ teachings, words, and example” are completely at odds. I appreciate what you are saying. Why don’t we hear Jesus Followers calling out “Christians” more vocally and often? I’d expect more of a break in the church at this point, but it seems like a fairly united front to me even now.
Let’s hear your best Biden joke then.
If it is the landlord’s primary home then they should not be lumped in. Renting out a room to help pay mortgage on the home you live in is not the problem. It’s the second homes, the third, fourth, tenth, hundredth homes where it is an issues, and I do think we can lump all of those together. They are using our limited housing supply as a portfolio piece, inserting themselves as profit-driven middle-men and making it less attainable for lower income families.
Entities that buy and own homes purely for “investment” at any scale are the problem. For-profit housing should not exist at any level. Want to own a second home and rent it out to cover the costs? Sure, but require that it be a non-profit.
Wezterm is my daily driver.
