Yes, good call on tabs.

I regularly use a 10.4 Tiger machine for music and graphic projects and it is a breath of fresh air compared to where MacOS is today. My daily drivers are Mavericks/Mojave/Mojave b…

I'm extremely careful with my Macbook magsafe charging cables. But in ten years I've had three fray into uselessness. My current cable has black electrical tape at both the charger…

J.K. Rowling has stated her love of transpeople and her wish to see them be fully accepted members of society. She has differences of opinion about the best political approach to a…

I still use 10.4 on a 2005 PowerMac several times a week for various creative projects. The ease of use is so much higher than recent MacOS versions it's not even funny.

The poor vastly outnumber the rich, so what point are you making exactly?

No. US security agencies have been clear that Russian intelligence interfered in our election to support Trump. Putin admitted just two weeks ago that he wanted Trump to win. Gener…

Ah, so "blockchain" is a Libertarian Trojan horse that will obviate government. Man, "blockchain" can do ANYTHING. "voluntary smart contracts"... more buzzwords that sound great bu…

Counterpoint: this tool pegged my 8-year-old as 13 (and she looks younger than her age) and me as 56... well into the double-digit error zone. Someone recently thought I was 30. Pe…
