  The only success I’ve ever had with virtualizing MacOS on a non Mac host is using VMWare Workstation with some unofficial patch to make it think it was running on a Mac host and enable the option to run a macOS guest. And that took a bit of faff to get working too, no idea if it still works as a method

  I was initially wondering about remarking that the mugshot thumbnail gives the energy of a guy that’s gonna end up as some kind of modern naval pirate

  Then read:

  Officers found a “crude” homemade cannon, gunpowder, crossbows, bolts, six large knives and a baseball bat when they searched his home and barracks quarters.

  It took me a long time to even register that as food

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a very revealing photo of him⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminder these people know full well the implications of such a photo, and will have done a lot to avoid such photos ever happening

  If you see one, there’s probably a thousand they avoided

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BT strikes deal to rescue troubled TalkTalk from administration⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So BT now trades as BT, EE (itself the product of T-Mobile & Orange merging), PlusNet and now TalkTalk

  Would be much less problematic if it was still publicly owned

  exploding heads

  It was a troll/far-right instance that did the JAQ/Sealioning thing to fly under the radar for a while which then got heavily defederated once the mask slipped and they went all in on flooding lemmy with horrible shit (it was bad enough various instance admin tools were created to combat it). Every now and again a new instance pops up doing the same kind of script and they used to end up getting defederated pretty quickly. Not confirmed, but it also looks like one or a few people sockpuppeting multiple accounts to make it seem more legitimate.

  This instance carries a lot of the same warning flags, but didn’t get the same treatment this time round for some reason

  I wouldn’t be much of a left winger if I did deny that

  Turning the working class against each other is one of the main ways the elite protect their power

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fight! Fight! Fight!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you confusing liberals with left wingers?

  The left have been very loudly pushing back against the billionaire class for a very long time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Snack time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was growing up I imagined a midnight snack as something vaguely coherent with at least a couple of ingredients

  Now I know the truth, it’s just ham

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Manchester City football club cheated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re currently appealing it so currently no penalty has been issued, sadly

  There’s a lot of speculation around what will happen though, some are saying relegation out of the football league (not just the premier League), big fines which could then be distributed to other teams. Some people are suggesting the titles could be stripped, but that’s currently unprecedented with a lot of pundits saying it’ll never happen. I’ve read that there’s a good chance the owners could end up banned from owning any club in the UK

  It’s currently more delay for repercussions unfortunately

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Manchester City football club cheated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What?

  They got new owners who then brazenly and repeatedly broke the spending rules and proceeded to win the top flight league 8 times over the past 15 seasons (and a load of other silverware) directly because of that, after not even coming close for half a century. They then hid this rule breaking via dodgy backroom sponsorships, cooking the books by nearly £1bn.

  That’s before going into how the whole endeavour is very clearly political sportswashing

  The Met has abused hundreds of women

  They can fuck off into the Thames

  House spiders are pretty predictable, generally stay in their lane

  Flies are all round bastards, determined to ruin any situation they can

  I’m allied with the spiders

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adult friendships be like: "I miss you bro let's hang out in November"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nearly always a combo of too much shit going on sooner, not enough funds in the bank until.

  One of my groups of mates takes at least 6 months notice to get something in the calendar we can all make it to

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's mom has questions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like it’s a form of brain training to be able to remember the right sequence of words to search to summon a niche meme

  Meme folders are the junk food of internet society

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I choo-choo-choose you!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To make it easy for the people who own media organisations and their pals to take everything you, your family, your friends and neighbours will ever own, for themselves whilst brainwashed morons clap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if rogue Ai agents or other bad actors take over these 2?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s kinda what I’m saying, cloudflare is a CDN, handling a lot of traffic is the point of it. It’s a pretty big stretch to link that to AI “taking over” it. Heavily using it perhaps, as I insinuated with customers getting bigger bills

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if rogue Ai agents or other bad actors take over these 2?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI being associated with those issues is kinda secondary (and cynically, scapegoating to dodge scrutiny). It was ultimately engineers shirking the responsibility of their jobs and not checking their work that caused the issues. If someone wants to tell an agent to fuck around with production and not check what is about to be deployed first, that’s the engineer being a negligent dumbass, not any kind of malicious AI

  And unless Amazon wants to lose significant amounts of business due to that becoming a repeat occurrence, they will have already put safeguards in place to make sure engineers do their jobs in future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if rogue Ai agents or other bad actors take over these 2?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How exactly would an AI agent “take over” AWS or Cloudflare? That doesn’t even make sense.

  The whole purpose of cloudflare is literally to take a shitload of traffic, your quote from wherever it’s from is just describing Cloudflare working as intended? The only thing happening here is customers getting bigger bills

  For anything external to “take over” AWS in any remotely meaningful way, AWS would have to have a long cascade of internal fuck-ups so all-encompassing, that it’s kinda unfathomable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The right kind of vibe⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s something deeply unsettling to know that there’s someone out there who genuinely thinks Happy better than Africa

  I actually can’t think of a worse choice, maybe wheels on the bus or some other nursery rhyme? Even that would at least feel subversive

  Jean-Luc Fromage is a fantastic name for a parody account

  I hope this isn’t a planetary alignment situation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Pokémon have different names in ENG?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also pretty common for Japanese media at the time (and probably still now?) when it was localised to other languages, especially if they expected it to be consumed by kids. the Final Fantasy games also come to mind as having localised monster names rather than direct phonetic translations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you still believe in having friends despite there being long, long gaps of time between the last time you communicated or hung out?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep I’ve got several mates I can meet up with after a year or three and it’s like no time has passed.

  Hell I recently bumped into someone at a wedding I’d not spoken to in about 15 years, we did acknowledge the gap in that instance, but now are chatting again pretty casually

  On the flip side there are people that if I go a couple of months without seeing them it’s a bit awkward until the cadence is up again. Nothing really wrong with it, just some friendships differ from person to person at the end of the day, would be silly to expect uniformity

  Isn’t the instance just the latest in the line of EH regens?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is probably the most practical solution as long as OP is open minded about the destination

  I’m not sure what it looks like these days but if you’re young and smart, look into teaching English somewhere abroad, if you’re young and physically able, look into various work away schemes.

  If you’re older and in a professional career, try to find a market where your skills are in demand

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people refer to characters in movies by their actor's names?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair, I think I was watching an adaptation of something I’d read, I’d probably be more inclined to know the characters by their names. I’d generally say that’s probably only 10-15% of what I watch overall

  FWIW sometimes I don’t even get the actors’ names and they get called “the guy from that comedy we watched the other month”
