This weekend I did some tinkering with the 2015 #iMac.  Running #Sequoia via #OpencoreLegacyPatcher started to make the #Mac chug hard.

I attempted installing a few different #linux based distros but the ones I tried (that I was interested in) all failed/crashed after installing.

So I went with my favorite “newish” #macOS, Monterey.   Now all my old #intel macs run good ol’ Monty and I am very okay with that.

[No] profit from genocide.

[...] Mubi spent much of last year denying accusations it was profiting from what critics called genocide in Gaza, at the same time that its costliest-ever movie, “Die My Love,” flopped. The company ended 2025 with nearly 1.2 million subscribers, fewer than it started the year with, and lost $7.3 million on some $200 million of revenue, according to people familiar with the matter.

[...] Shaun Maguire, a Sequoia partner close to Elon Musk, became a focal point of criticism. He had supported Israel, criticized diversity policies, and in July wrote that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani was an "Islamist" who "comes from a culture that lies about everything"

Long-shot, but: Does anyone (possibly at Apple) know if there is an internal setting to turn off shadows on system windows? (macOS Sequoia)

Use case: I am green-screening my camera feed onto the screen (so the screen has a green background) and using that to overlay windows on my camera feed while streaming/recording. The shadows are picking up the green and making the green screen picture quality not as good as it could be as I have to constrain the parameters more than I would otherwise have to.

I didn't realize these acquisitions had been taking place over 2025... and that Magix had filed for insolvency not too long beforehand and was owned by RM Equity Partners. Interesting stuff.
