Bluesky CEO Jay Graber says it is not "necessarily true" that Bluesky will always be free of advertising, and ads on the service could be "user intent-driven" (Maxwell Zeff/TechCrunch)

Libreboot 20241205 is compiling!
I was compiling the release, earlier, but stopped it because I decided to update the documentation first. However, I prefer for the updated docs to also be in the release archive itself.
Documentation is updated. Release page is written. Site will update when the tarballs are online.
I technically made it for 5 December 2024, thus Libreboot 20241205. I'm posting this just before midnight, UK time, and it's still early evening in North America, on December 5th.

"I see you were fond of playing the Devil's Advocate," Saint Peter said.
"Er... The name isn't really..."
"No, I know. 'Devil's Advocate' is a specific job, and that is allowed."
"So I'm good?"
"No, because you weren't doing that specific job, you were just being a dick online."
Was once again reminded of Ursula K. Leguin's daily schedule, and why this woman was an icon on every single level.

Had my Game Boy Camera out taking pictures of the trams in Lisbon and caught a tram crashing into a van.

Do you have a @BlueSCSI with Wi-Fi? Do you use @jcs 's wonderful Wi-Fi Desk Accessory? Is your classic Mac running a non-English version of System 6 or 7 and do you wish the application did too?
You can help with the translation!

when i was a kid, you could build a simple game or application by dragging and dropping a few UI controls, and gluing them together with a few dozen lines of BASIC or Pascal or HyperTalk. it might take 15 minutes, at most, to get your little character walking around on the screen. this is how we ended up with a lot of hilariously good and cheap shareware you could share on BBSes in the 90s.
for the past year i've been quietly working on building a software thingie that doesn't exist anymore. i've been building a software toolkit that's kinda like Visual Basic and HyperCard and Borland Delphi, designed for making tile-based 2d games.
i've been using it to build my own little goofy games, and improving on the drag'n'drop IDE as i figuring things out. it's not done yet, and has a long ways to go before it's ready for other people to start making their own little applications and games. think PICO-8 or ZZT if they had grown up on a steady diet of Windows 3.1 and GeoWorks Ensemble instead.
i'm really, really bad about polishing turds to infinity and never releasing them. to break that habit, i've built a mini-website for the IDE/Shareware Creation Kit. it's called Exigy, named like a bad 80s metal hair band or richard garriott game.
i'll be posting weekly blog/devlog updates there, so i don't irritate anyone with them on this account. there is an rss feed button at the top right if you hate my demonic php and css.

What's great in MacOS that make you using it? (if you use it)
I know multiple people (linux users) who have to deal with MacOS daily at work, and from their perspective, it's a huge pain to work with.
So i'm curious to know the opinions from genuine MacOS users who certainly enjoy it? (I hope so at least 
)
