That firmware part isn’t new. Back in the day when we were dual-booting Linux on PowerPC Macs, macOS was still needed for firmware updates.

tl;dr, podcasts are expensive to produce, about $1000/hour with video, hosts (local and remote), and post-production. TWiT is going through hard times and some shows and hosts have to go. Sadly, FLOSS was on the chopping block.

Advertisers just aren’t interested in podcasts anymore. If you still want to support the network after this, give Leo $7/month and join Club TWiT. I don’t give a rat’s ass about Discord, but I do want to prevent stuff like this.

I tried Linux when I was younger. I decided to try Gentoo on underpowered hardware with zero Linux experience. I credit that uphill battle for teaching me Linux! I used that until I got into dependency hell and switched back to Windows for a while. I needed PowerShell and stuff for my old job, before it went cross-platform. It was fine.

A few years later, I was dual-booting again. Then, Windows 10 began blue-screening randomly. I couldn’t figure out why. Reinstalling didn’t work. So I started using Linux full-time and I’ve never looked back.

Even when I found out that one of my memory sticks had been half-inserted for months, and that’s probably what made Windows crash all the time. How did Linux handle it? Obviously, because it’s better.

Instead of sharing the image, why not share the scripts or steps used to make it? Other people raised some fine points, but for me, my German is very poor.

It’s lined up with the main portion of the keyboard. Ergonomically, it makes perfect sense, even if it looks wrong.

I use Monal on iOS and it’s worked quite well so far. I admit I just joined the XMPP adventure.

Nobody has ever given me a dime. But they do give me bug reports, pull requests, and the occasional email or toot of gratitude.

How do you think file systems would be handled? Apple’s SCSI/FireWire/USB/Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode just made all disks available over the interface in a filesystem-agnostic manner. Would I be able to see my ext4 boot partition, ZFS arrays, and any attached volumes?

I came here to complain about Flatpak vs. .deb, and left with a new thing to try.

I wouldn’t have noticed this if people hadn’t started pointing it out. I’ve seen worse examples out there than mine. I suppose I’m lucky.

The iPhones 15 can accept USB-C Power Delivery at up to 20 W, but they can only output standard USB power at 4.5 W.

That will power most any accessory and charge your AirPods, and it’s a huge improvement over Lightning’s 300 mW output.

Sounds like a great excuse to fork the project and start its own community. Of course, keep integrating upstream fixes, but maybe make the logo a trans pride flag.
