You see British Blackletter being used by right wing extremists often as a replacement for Gothic German Fraktur. Nazis often have no sense of typography.

The actual NSDAP Nazis actually discouraged use of Fraktur, because it was thought to be related to Hebrew writing and pushed Grotesque and Antiqua fonts instead.

They downvoted him for telling the truth.

Lemmy is an echo chamber.

I’m sure someone will use rust to build a bloated reactive declarative dynamic UI framework, that wastes cycles, eats memory, and is inscrutable to debug.

Lingerie, drugs, snacks, toys, etc. cost money!

Yes, OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Regarding Linux distributions, I don’t have a specific recommendation. You might be worse off with a distro that doesn’t include nonfree drivers for wifi, bluetooth, graphics by default. IIRC these MBPs use Broadcom Wifi chips. Ubuntu and derivatives would be my first try. Definitely read up on how to install Linux on MBPs. You probably might have to configure something in OpenFirmware/EFI.

It’s easier for drug manufacturers to appropriate brands than to come up with their own. Car and luxury brands are common, but so are other brands like Netflix, characters from comics, cartoons, video games, etc. The manufacturers need an easily recognizable and memorable design.

This is also true for other people.

The biggest issue is security updates and a current internet browser.

Of course I can use a 30 year old computer that still works with the software it can run.

LibreOffice is okay for some stuff, but shows its limitations pretty quickly once you use it for more serious tasks.

• Writer is the best of the suite and has deleted comments for me several times without ability to recover.
• The spreadsheet is a toy compared to Excel spreadsheets used in pretty much any business.
• The presentation software produces ugly results by default.

The only things LibreOffice has going for it, is the price and that the UI doesn’t change. LibreOffice has no good mobile apps.

Better alternatives to Microsoft Office are Google Docs etc. and Apple’s iWork suite. Both have good compatibility with Microsoft’s files and run great on mobile.

Google has ease of use, easy sharing and collaboration. Apple’s iWork has great usability and features and produces beautiful results by default. The suite comes free with every Apple device. Google Docs is free to use as well.

That’s of course ignoring the workhorse called Outlook. You can kind of approach its features with a handful of other applications, but won’t reach the same functionality.

LibreOffice has one unique application in its suite: Base local database. Microsoft Access and FileMaker used to very popular, but faded into the background over the last decade.

15 years is actually reasonable.

I have a ten year old laptop with an i7 processor, 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD. It still does most things, I bought it for initially just fine. Granted this was one of the best laptops you could buy at the time.

Apple stopped supporting it with a current version of macOS a couple of years ago sadly. It’s still possible to patch newer versions to install and run on the old machine, but it’s a bit of a hassle.

Never use numbers when calculating dates. Use the data formats and constants the calendar library provides.

Chat GPT makes up everything it says. It’s just good at guessing and bullshitting. These are excuses, not reasons. There used to be waterproof phones with headphone jacks. Phones have become bigger since the headphone jack disappeared as well. So space isn’t really the reason.

There’s still enough space for a headphone jack in current phones. They are omitted as a cost cutting measure.

Latency is still worse than wired. For gaming its somewhat okay nowadays, for making music its not.

When learning a new human language, it’s good practice to also learn sentences and practice speaking and writing, not just rote vocabulary memorization.

The waste and corruption in private industry is mind bogglingly huge compared to the public sector.
