@josias@theres.life mac applications are just directories that end in .app which are of a certain structure. you can zip it, or .tar.gz it, or the common method is to create a .dmg which mounts in macOS when clicked and displays the app. .pkg is an installer format like .deb that prompts for sudo to install systemwide.

don't distribute your mac software as .pkg if it's just user applications. i don't want to give you root.

turns out that my lightroom cc (i have a valid subscription, but prevent it from phoning home) won't run anymore unless it can talk to the mothership, and i wanted to test out a crack for it in a vm, but my parallels desktop wasn't actually a purchase, but a 1 year subscription payment and now it's expired. fuck this bullshit, seriously.

@TiffyBelle@mastodon.online firefox is spyware. if i'm going to run a spyware browser, i'm going to run a secure one like chrome.

@fluffy rioting is a reaction to the longstanding racial strife, and neither is new or in any way a recent development.

what can i use to sync chromium bookmarks that isn't google?

rich white people talking about 2020's racial strife as if 2020 was something special and that america's racist bullshit hasn't been an ongoing multi-century slog for millions for generations and counting is... rage-inducing.

it sucks that people are so dumb that they only think about what the news tells them to think about.

@surfingalot i have no idea, i have never used a poor person xbox controller

having read some of the reports about the total clusterfuck of vaccine allocation and rollout, i'm coming to the realization that it's going to be summer or fall, not spring, before the vaccine is widely available to anyone who wants it.

this means that it will be fall or winter before travel and such is safe and reasonable again, and that's assuming no hospital-overflow-crisis or higher-transmissibility-variant issues throwing a wrench in things.

so, another whole year of isolation. fuck.

august and everything after, or, adam duritz sings the DSM-III

ps: A Long December is appropriate this month/year

be advised, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller (the series 2, the new one) is not quite as high quality as the ~$180 price tag would suggest. mine's already got a stuck left bumper button, less than a month in. :(

@surfingalot i am pretty sure you can do most of this with external drives and usb sticks
