Thanks - I hadn't heard of this before, but my Macbook seems to predate the chip according to those dates.

Oh wow, I truly appreciate that share. This is the level of detail I was hoping for :D

I had not looked into that but the MBP I want to install Linux on is truly an extra laptop. I get a laptop refresh every 3 or so years from work and get to keep the old one, so at this point I have 2 former work computers so I want to try out the install for the experience. Otherwise I'd just consider recycling it at this point.

Hi all - I've never done an install of Linux before but have always hovered around the community. Now that I have a "spare" and old Macbook Pro that is no longer supported by Apple, I am interested in installing Linux on the device. Obviously I am asking a very broad question here, but are there recommendations on what OS to install on Macs? What are some good resources to find installation guides? In general, just looking for guidance as I start this process as I'm very green to the idea. Thanks all.

The adults sold us a future they were determined to destroy before it could ever come to fruition.

I picked kbin for no particular reason and then moved to lemmy. Kbin was a dumpster fire of spam and downtime. Seems to be permanently broken as of the last 2 months minimum

Because most people don't exactly want a community-led social platform that respects you and empowers user freedom, even if some say they do.

Get off your high horse. I work for a software company, regularly participate in beta testing and am very tech literate. Mastodon was agitating to use when I signed up and not intuitive. The community I signed up in also deleted my account during a “whoopsie”. A terrible experience drove me off with no desire to go back for such a tiny and relatively stagnate user base on an unstable platform. If that was my experience, the average person will absolutely not like Mastodon.

This headline is stupid.

Tbf the article is from Teen Vogue. It's a publication meant for teenagers and is probably trying to relate to them more than the MAGA parents

Also get them the shitty nursing home.

Most nursing homes are shitty, tbf. Just leave them there and don't come back for visits

Yes they can be that ignorant. Let’s stop pretending people are smart. The last 10 years has proven people are raging morons and proud of it.

The same Supreme Court that struck down many things Biden tried to do without Congress?

Presidents are not kings. Congress is still required for much of the government to function and Republicans are determined to dismantle it instead so it benefits only the rich and corporations.

So an average day on Twitter?
