Now VMware Fusion cannot auto-update itself (or even notify you of updates) because Broadcom doesn't believe in distributing software (even updates to a free app!) without a painful registration and verification process. I had to enter my home address, agree not to export the software or something, and now am told “Account verification is Pending. Please try after some time.”.
Fusion is done. Maintenance mode at best.

Fuck you Broadcom. What a sad end for a great Mac app (and company).

Please report any account that tells you that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it through a private message. It is a scam. We do not require identity verification. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain and will typically never reach out through private messages.

are you using the new command? it's in unetconfd. it's literally on sysptkm. it's configurable via xchwnt. it's literally under /usr/share/pnetdx2. you can probably grep for the qvjconf. you can update it via bungpkg. update via bungpkg. fetch it with bungpkg. you can bungpkg it. bungpkg has it for you. bungpkg has it for you.

As a Meta employee, I can honestly tell you what we know, and I do not know how we obtain all of it.

* Your full name
* Your full home address
* Your phone number
* Your e-mail
* Your government ID
* Your consumer report history
* The name of every family member
* The name of every friend
* The name of their family / friends
* Your marital status
* If you are faithful to your partner
* Your work history (all of it)
* Your education history (all of it)
* Your travel history (going back years)
* Your birth gender
* Your gender ID
* Your sexuality
* Your sexual preferences
* How often you're having sex
* Your partner's details (all the above)
* Your political ideology
* Your involvement with any group
* If you protest, we know
* If you're unhappy, we know

The amount of information we collect on you is insane. And we do it all for supposedly marketing and yes, we help the government since they have access to all this too.

So when someone says they want to avoid META or GOOGLE - respect.

Cursed Silicon 5d ago

Something I've found building a 'retro internet service' is the absolute culture gap with younger people (early 20's)

They find the project interesting but then get anxious asking "okay but what can I contribute". Like they need to "hustle" or "prove their worth to be here"

I have to explain to them "do things that make you happy. Build things that bring you joy"

The internet they grew up on is so *transactional* that it's just how they've come to expect it. That it wants something "of them"

Polar Filament now has a 3D Printer PLA Filament color match for the Powerbook 500/1400/3400/5300 and 190.

Pre-order some rolls maybe?

Also: Color match to more common PowerBook models coming soon - I'm working to get them a good sample for matching!
