Yikes. @ThePSF has to pause grants cause running out of money, while AI companies built almost entirely on Python and open source raise billions every few months.

@weezmgk @AJ9BM @K0UWU Wait, let me check my handy catgirl ear chart.

Hmm, looks like the catgirl shown is one of these four, which means I have additional questions about those headphones:

• human + cat ears
• cat ears only
• human ears hidden (Schrödinger's ears)
• cat ears + cat ears (catgirl with top & side cat ears)

It may take more than that. Apple computers always feel to me like those kids you read about rescued from abusive parents that also happen to be religious nuts in a death cult.

Some de-programming may be necessary.

Was the shim bootloader instructed to not verify kernel image? You can do mokutil --enable-validation to change that, but you need a kernel image signed with valid signature to boot after this. Many well-known distributions have their kernel image signed and pubkey submitted for validation by shim.
