  • What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

    I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.

    As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.

    Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.

    That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)

    I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!

    There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.










  • Honestly, on mobile, there isn’t really anything. However, if you’re burdened with an iPhone (like me), I’d say use iMovie.

    If you’re on Android and you’re clever, you might be able to use FFmpeg from inside Termux.

    If you have a particularly powerful phone, you might be able to install a window manager (most people go for Fluxbox) and a lightweight video editor (like Avidemux) in Termux, share your screen with a TigerVNC daemon, and then use a VNC client on Android to access it. It will most likely be slow and a little choppy, but it might just work if you seriously have no alternative.






  • I use Zsh with the Oh My Zsh! framework, and I use a different theme depending on which subuserland I’m in, by customising ~/.zshrc. For example, I use the gentoo theme on Debian and its derivatives, agnoster on NixOS, darkblood on Arch, strug for Mageia, apple on my macOS device, aussiegeek on FreeBSD, and gallifrey on OpenBSD. Different themes helps me remember which package manager to use and which distro-specific commands will work.

    I’ll send some screenshots in a bit, when I boot up my PC.

    I like Zsh because of its tab completion and command history. I also quite like its plugins.

    Before anyone asks, I have tried Fish before, and I prefer Zsh. I have tried configuring Bash before, and I prefer Zsh. I have played with Ksh and Tcsh on BSD, and I prefer Zsh. I used PowerShell a long time ago, and I prefer Zsh.











  • But does the license do that? It’s not discriminating against groups, it’s discriminating against actions.
