Just casually #laptop shopping and considering leaving the #Apple ecosystem and going full #Linux.
After working for Apple for so long, I’m nervous about fully taking the plunge since I know #macOS so well, but I’m not a total stranger to Linux. I just don’t know PCs well at all. Just don’t want to buy a new #Mac with all the #AI #AppleIntelligence bullshit.
@golgaloth @mrundkvist I’ve been a #LibreOffice user from its beginning on my #Windows PC, my #Mac, and my ex-Windows PC revived with #Linux. I wrote my dissertation in using LiO. Now I probably would switch to #iWork, particularly #Numbers as it’s much more versatile but, because iWork uses walled-garden file formats instead of #ODF, it is useless for collaborating with anyone not in the Apple ecosystem. LiO, on the other hand, works on any OS and even mobile devices and tablets via #Collabora.
macOS Sequoia 15.5... is there any way to change/turn off what app tries to autoplay an audio CD? Apple Music insists on launching and trying to import it. Maybe I just need to delete Apple Music?
There seems to no longer be a system preference for this...

@danbarber @deBaer @aj @dgar @nixCraft And to round things out, there were two times when the fastest #PC was a #Mac, more recently at the launch of the M1 ARM Macs but also back in 2007 when, thanks to Vista, a MacBook Pro was a better PC than a PC: https://www.wired.com/2007/10/fastest-windows/
@danbarber @deBaer @aj @dgar @nixCraft However, the fastest #Mac *is* an #Amiga! https://youtu.be/Jph0gxzL3UI

Anyone here still used LinkedIn?
Does your https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/grow/ page look like this? (screenshot attached)
I've tried this on multiple browsers... looks the exact same...
AskNK, a well-known CGI YouTuber, has covered SDF Modeler, featuring some of my 3D scenes.
The developer of SDF Modeler, @sascharode1986, mentioned that the number of downloads has gone up significantly since the video was published.

Who here changed from Windows to Linux after the whole Windows Recall fiasco, and are you still using Linux?
@cliffwade @amerpie I took a brief look at it. It’s simple and certainly appears to work, but I discovered a different system which will apparently work with #Windows, #Mac and #Linux (all of which I use these days), using my licensed copy of #SyncBackPro for Windows. Plus, that allows me to choose a backup destination that isn’t just a local drive on the same box, and I can compress and do delta backups and a whole stack of other stuff.

Still experimenting.
MacOS users...
What backup software do you use on your MacOS devices?
I don't need anything fancy, just something in case something happens at some point.
Is Time Machine good and/or recommended? Is there something different or better that y'all recommend?
ASIF - Apple's new disk image format is faster and is likely a result of Apple's new interest in native containerization support. Homelab-bers are excited - worldwide. :) #apple #mac
