    Roll out of Big Sur caused havoc on Mojave/Catalina macs.

    Big Sur is another incremental step in turning the general purpose PC into an appliance like the iPad.

    Your Computer Isn't Yours

    These machines are the first general purpose computers ever where you have to make an exclusive choice: you can have a fast and efficient machine, or you can have a private one. (Apple mobile devices have already been this way for several years.) Short of using an external network filtering device like a travel/vpn router that you can totally control, there will be no way to boot any OS on the new Apple Silicon macs that won’t phone home, and you can’t modify the OS to prevent this (or they won’t boot at all, due to hardware-based cryptographic protections).

    I'll take it a step further and speculate that eventually MacOs will prevent the user from running any software that isn't procured from the Apple app store.

    Yeah it's sad that the US has so many people who DGAF. I told someone about the cruise ship news and they said "Oh wow I'd go now! I've already had Covid." :facepalm: Like yeah I know you did but you can get it again after a few months. Even if you don't get reinfected with a severe case you'll still be transmitting it. It's not even in the mental model for some people that this is a transmissible disease and we're a network.

    Oh well. Buckle up. Doesn't have to be like this but it's gonna be like this.

    Oh yeah that's right, not even in the count at the moment anyway.

    Trump seems to be wasting everyone's time over all this. I mean I think if there was actual fraud sure I'd want to know about it and investigate it even if it went in his favor but there just doesn't seem to be any evidence that's the case.

    Catching up on some news: Looks like some votes will probably get thrown out in PA because the legislature pushed back the date they'd accept mail in ballots but did not push back the date that ballots could be cured for lack of ID verification. That second date got pushed back by a commissioner. If it goes to supreme court it'll probably be sustained since the US Constitution says only state legislatures can make the changes to the ways elections run in the state. I'm not a lawyer so who knows. It sounds like it won't be a lot of ballots though.

    Yeah AFX is more well known now than 2010 as far as I can tell, this is definitely a one of a kind item, could argue that the CAT23 LP is less rare than this since multiple copies were pressed. Yeah maybe $50000 isn't out of the question at this point for a piece of history.

    Hair sniffing seems to be a progressive value. Boomers seem to think it's unacceptable more than millennials do.

    A whopping 77 percent of those polled think it is completely unacceptable for a male political candidate to come up behind a woman to sniff her hair. And despite the narrative that older Americans are more likely to excuse behavior like this, 85 percent of Baby Boomers said they think it is completely unacceptable. That’s 15 percent more than millennials.

    That voice masking sounds like Detroit Grand Pubahs Sandwiches vocals

    Yeah this makes total sense, if I'm gonna go hand out fake ballots I'm gonna use a BIDEN/HARRIS van to do it.

    Read that Project Veritas paid the USPS "whistle blower" $130k for his allegations, wonder how much this one got

    I know someone who is all about the vote fraud conspiracy theory. I asked why some of the Republicans are also saying they don't think there is widespread fraud? It's apparently because they want to protect their family from the deep state murder squads run by the Clintons and Soros. So I guess if a Democrat says there's no widespread fraud that's exactly what a globalist would say, and if a Republican says there's no widespread fraud that's exactly what someone being threatened by the globalists would say under duress.
