  • … Asahi will hopefully still be there and ready to keep the hardware going. I figure I probably have about 6 years of Apple support …

    i used to use & contribute to linux/foss projects for ppc architectured macs and it took years for them to be fully supported at the same level that intel architectured users enjoyed; chipping in now is the only way that something like asahi is ready to take over once apple inevitably leaves you out in the cold like it did its ppc (and soon intel) users.

    they have excellent hardware and it would be a shame to throw it away or allow it to collect dust when you can’t get 100% utility out of it simply because your options aren’t developed enough at the time you need them.




  • leftists collect this sort of information because uninformed shit takes are so incredibly common and so equally uniform that you can literally copy/paste them as a response and it works every single time.

    they’re an EXCELLENT way of proving that the person is willfully ignorant since it’s literally independently verifiable proof that they’re wrong and the other person’s refusal to consider them serves to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the person is talking out of their ass; like it did here.











  • the town i grew up in likewise refused to invest in sewage infrastructure and used that as an excute not to annex it’s poorest part; my childhood neighborhood.

    they invested in water infrastructure when my neighborhood was in the “planning” stages and calling it planning stage is a very generous way to describe it. once it became clear that my future neighborhood would become low rent, they stopped investing in the infrastructure; citing that the city couldn’t afford the sewage system and cancelled all plans to annex the neighborhood in the city limits.

    fast forward rough 6 decades or so later and now the population & size of the neighborhood is starting to rival the city itself; so much so that the census decided to give it and many other similar municipalities across the country like it a special designation: census designated place.

    all the meanwhile the price tag for that sewer system has only gone up and the city still continues to insist that they can’t afford it and they never will. like these people in alabama, my city gave their answer decades ago and i can’t image what goes through their minds when they beg their neighboring communities for a basic human need like water and then their neighbors won’t even allow them to speak.
