apparently pop os 20.10 is no longer supported. that makes sense now that it's already uhh, 21...... oh wait no

i think due to a strange twist of fate, running monterey in kvm in a virtualbox popOS vm on catalina on my imac pro is actually allowed by cider daddy

what even is this

when pc hardware is half as good as mac hardware i'll think about switching to a computer that's only half as good. until then, we wait

the comments are an interesting read

"Every major-numbered release of macOS is more annoying than the one before. Each release includes terrible new UI decisions, removes useful features you've come to depend on, and restricts the use of your computer as a general-purpose computer even more. It has probably been steadily down hill since OSX 10.8."

He's right.

per the dsmos haiku, apple thinks i'm stealing because i run VMs.

i'm beginning to get annoyed with this company.

hmm popOS identifies itself by phoning home to

204.pop-os.org

hmm the latest pop OS installer phones home on startup.

There is no way to install macOS 12.x Monterey (released yesterday) without an internet connection. If you have an offline M1 mac and you hook up a USB with the full 13GB installer .app on it (created with the ./createinstallmedia tool from it), even when you specify --downloadassets, it cannot be used to upgrade an airgapped machine.

There's now no way for me to know precisely what OS is running on my computer. And I just gave these pigfuckers $6.6k for a new one. :(

sometimes i wish that the antivaxxer lies about the government going door to door to collect and gas or otherwise malign the resisters would come true. covid only knocks about 1/1000 of the infected off.

12.0.1 installer available on ipfs:

here are the hashes for macos monterey 12.0.1 installer that i'm seeing over here:

nostromo:/Volumes/Install macOS Monterey$ shasum ./BaseSystem/BaseSystem.dmg ./Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/SharedSupport/SharedSupport.dmg

matrix/element is crap. there, i said it.

please stop telling me to use it. it sucks.

i didn't even get my automatic mac provisioning scripts repo updated for 11.x and now 12.0.1 is out.

nostromo:~/tmp/12.0.1$ shasum "./Install macOS Monterey.app/Contents/SharedSupport/SharedSupport.dmg"

On the 30th of April 2021, Apple committed to encrypting their OCSP revocation checks and providing an opt-out so that your mac doesn't phone home on every app launch.

Tick tock, motherfuckers.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491

We're now a new major version beyond and unencrypted OCSP is still (I assume) a thing. (Downloading os12 now, will confirm.)

reminder: the hardware pipeline is 2-3 years long. apple had these new systems on and beyond the drawing board for the entire time you were screaming about the touchbar.

there is a product manager inside of apple that is in charge of memoji.

i think they may have also been an extra in mike judge's idiocracy
