OK, if we go with the argument that “Guns don’t kill people, idiots kill people”…
Wouldn’t Universal Background Checks on ALL purchases, training, licensing, registration, and crackdowns on illegal transfers/sales help prevent idiots from getting deadly weapons?
You too can buy a Tesla, and support the main share holder Elon Musk, who abuses his social media platform to convince his 185 million followers, that the US justice system is corrupt, because his favorite criminal is brought to justice.
A fleet of #Boeing airplanes has been found to have a potential electrical flaw near a fuel tank that aviation regulators fear could cause an explosion.
Boeing 777 liners are at risk of “electrostatic discharge” near its center-wing fuel tank, which could possibly cause it to catch fire and explode, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
“Arraignments of #Giuliani & 10 other allies of #Trump were underway on Tues in #Arizona criminal case that charges them with trying to keep Trump in power after he lost pres election.
A total of 50 people — incl Trump — now face charges related to election interference in four states. A number of Trump allies have already pleaded guilty or reached cooperation agreements in cases in Georgia and Michigan.”
When I talk about digital privacy, there is always some smug genius who shrugs and tells me, "Who cares? We all know we don't have any privacy anyway." Nothing could be more wrong. Convincing you that the fight is already over to the way people in power get you to stop resisting.
@evacide@michellemoldofsky Be curious if those same people would be cool with showering or pooping out in the open or sharing their bank card PIN in their bio info.
Neil Gaiman wrote: "Everything good that happened in my writing career happened because someone, normally another writer, helped me. Suggested me for something, put in a good word, and so on. The idea was always that you help others and they help others in their turn. It's not a win or lose game."
I'm not Gaiman, and probably neither are you (unless you are, in which case hi, Neil.)
I have an old iMac from a friend that had a dead harddrive that I was able to replace pretty cheaply and has worked fine ever since, though it's topped out at an old OS.
I got another iMac from a neighbour suspecting it may be a harddrive issue as well, which could be an easy fix.
BUT, with both of these stopping at much older OS's that don't get updates any longer and won't run more modern programs, the question came up today...
I’m just trying to figure out a workaround for having another Mac that works flawlessly — it’s outlasted a number of Windows laptops we’ve had — but which has of course been designed to be obsolete years ago. I don’t think that first one that was brought back to life with a new harddrive will even run Garage Band, as crazy as that sounds.
Really good computers are still WAY less useful when they can’t run certain remotely recent software.
