It's a fair warning, but on my M2 MBA the only things that don't work are the microphone and some elements of graphics acceleration. I keep macos on a tiny partition for firmware updates and, I guess, to recover in the event of a catastrophic failure, but ... it's been rock solid. Most of the software I use has compatible builds, which might be the most surprising part.

It's always amused me that there is this bizarre (to me) subculture that is militantly anti-shorts. It's always someone from like Scotland or New Hampshire. My dude, I'm not wearing pants in Florida from April to October unless I have a funeral, wedding (maybe!), court appearance, or in-person business event. And I'm only wearing socks if God appears and instructs me to do so in person--which, given I am entirely unreligious, isn't much of a risk.

Actually, more context: my Floridian spouse is weirded out that I wear shorts in the cold, but I picked that up in a cold climate on a farm: my legs don't get cold, and wearing pants to throw hay at cows doesn't really check out.

I've switched to another email/calendar service, and I don't use Google Search (kagi ftw) ... but I can't get rid of my Workspace account because I'm the admin for the rest of the family (who won't leave gmail). Still, anything that further fragments Google's information about me is a net plus.

That's what I enjoy about kagi: because I can block and rank sources, I get to do some reverse-SEO, and the results are really good with remarkably few adjustments.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...

Whenever this topic comes up, I find myself wondering what these folks do all day. Not in a Boomer "don't these people have jobs?!?" way, but more ... what is it like to be them? Do they just sit in front of the computer looking for conversations to disrupt? What is their daily existence? Because I find their volume and dedication to what they do fascinating. Cancerous and absurd, but also fascinating.

Keeping in mind that “knowing and believing what they do” is itself a perilous notion because one of them might be a “Post-Madrid 1933 purple throated” Marxist while another might be a “Modernist new path” Marxist (I made those terms up). I mean I know “lol factions” is an old discussion with the farthest left, but they can’t even agree with each other.

My wife and I have a saying we find ourselves using far, FAR too often: “Conservatism lurks in the most unexpected places…”

Obsidian, logseq, and others work natively with markdown files that are almost cross-compatible and can be edited and used in any text editor. Things like back linking may not be present in that case (of using a plain text editor) but it doesn’t disappear from the file.

Roam uses a proprietary format but exports to markdown.

Pretty sure the motivation here is more along the lines of "double tap so they don't get up."

Birds. Servers are big, strong, imposing birds. Mobile devices are small and flitting birds. Things in between are birds in between. I've put some thematic value on some of the bird names (a showy bird for media, etc.).
