SPLITTERS

It might be useless, but ultimately it’s the only tool that the majority have at their disposal.

Aye, they do, but when it comes to voting they unify.

Take the UK for example. Of our three main parties the Conservatives are, well, conservative, Labour are (ostensibly) leftwing, and Liberal Democrats are centre-left.

In the end, most of my 44 years have been spent under a series of Tory governments because leftists who don’t see Labour as left enough don’t vote out of protest, and leftists who see Labour as too left will vote Lib Dem. Meanwhile, those in the centre or on the right will vote Tory. Sure, there are far right parties here, but they’re mostly cranks and outright racists.

We only have a Labour government right now because the Tories went too lunatic and Starmer’s lot shifted enough to the centre to attract those who would vote LibDem.

Prior to our last election, I saw a whole bunch of fellow lefties going apeshite because Starmer isn’t leftwing enough, and still crying that Corbyn was fucked over (which, to be fair, he was), so much so that I genuinely feared for five more years of Tories reaming us. There was very little room for pragmatism.

Depends on the circumstance…

Most conservatives are able to band together regardless of whether another of them is too racist, or too capitalist. They’re able to look past flaws in that regard.

Meanwhile, we lefties fight among ourselves for not being left enough, or for being too left. It’s why there are very few leftist governments.

If you’re trying to install a newer version of macOS than your Mac will allow, then Opencore Legacy Patcher is your friend.

I’ve used Macs since 2007, when Apple weren’t quite so shitty, and macOS wasn’t so irritating. I’d only ever used Windows until that point, so Linux wasn’t anywhere on my radar.

Linux on Intel Macs is solid. I have Mint on my old 2011 MacBook. Linux on M-series Macs is still, by all accounts, a work in progress. I’ve dipped my toes into Asahi, but I’d not really fucked with Linux at that point so got a bit overwhelmed and couldn’t work out whether the issues I was having were because of Linux in general, or because Asahi was still being smoothed out and optimised. But now I’m quite a bit more familiar with Linux, and have just been given an M1 mini so I’m going to dig back into it. If that works out for me, I’m going to do the same on my M2 MacBook.

The very, VERY WORST thing about macOS Sequoia is how cunty they’ve become over software downloaded from the internet.

Downloaded an update for Freetube yesterday. Dragged it into the Apps folder, tried to open it.

“Nah bruv. Put it in the bin” said macOS. No other options. Ignore, or trash it.

I’m a canny user, so I know that I now have to open the Security settings and click a button to say I’m happy to use the app.

Return to the app to open it.

“Nah bruv. Put it in the bin. Or open it if you’re stupid. Whatever”

Only then will it open.

Some software, usually stuff downloaded from GitHub, requires me to run a command in Terminal before it’ll run. Tried to install Librewolf via Brew the other day, and had to use Terminal to remove and replace the signature because Finder couldn’t even recognise it as a usable app.

Stupid shit.

They still do.

Born in late ‘80, I’m borderline. A Xennial, I guess.

Just yesterday I was groping on Mastodon that so much of Linux is done via the command line, which messes me up because I’ve only ever really used OSs with a GUI. Sure, we had a family C64, but my brother would load the games for me. Then we got a ‘proper’ Windows PC, where I stayed until I got my first Mac in ‘07.

I’m not unfamiliar with doing stuff in Terminal, but all I really do is follow instructions I find online.

Yes, my friend, I did see.

Prove it.

The hero we deserve.

MrFilmKritic on Twitter has the answer for you.

I “flew to Ukraine” to sign up for YT Premium family at a fraction of what they normally charge. No regrets.

I have the same, cleaned my tonsils a treat at the same time.

Here in the UK you can be prosecuted for calling an ambulance unnecessarily. As a result, not many people do it. If we’re calling for one, chances are it’s because we need one.

Broken foot and we’re not alone on a mountain somewhere? We’ll make our own way to A&E, thanks. Having a heart attack? You gotta know we’re hitting 999 and demanding an ambulance.

And yeah, of course there are people who try it on because they think their special, or they’re having a real bad mental health time, but we have pretty highly trained operators who know how to sift through the calls and triage them appropriately. It’s not often that one of our ambulances gets to a frivolous call.

Yes, I agree with everything you said, and it’s all pretty much the same here in the UK.
