hey there wait a minute mr @Posty@aus.social

Twitter is just software. Written by a company hostile to their own users, who could ban nazi's in a snap, but don't. I'm here because most are. Let's change - On the Internet, you can be in two places at once. The least that could happen is Twitter improves. #DepreciateTwitter

I have had bo burnhams “welcome to the internet” song in my head all day and you should too

the truth is out there

Mr 4 is having a big cry because he still doesn’t want to be 4 years old, to remain 3 forever. Today’s trigger was the “bigger nappies for 4 year olds”.

Literally no option to pre warn techs of incoming issues. Pain in the arse. Just gonna dump it on them at the time, I bet all that needs to happen is a battery replacement. Let’s see if I’m right.

I have a trackpad problem with my MacBook Pro. I booked in a session with @Apple@twitter.com, they tell me everything I need to do beforehand which I already did, but they won’t let me tell them before the appointment that the battery life is also in need of service. I know these are related

I am booting the entire os off an SD card slot which is rad (but i want to keep my os x install :) ) - i think it has something to do with it tho, because arch linux documents some trouble with this. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MacBookPro11,x#SD_Card_Reader but it looks like the module mine uses is xhci_plat_hcd

Very normal response to closing a laptop for sleep it was

also, had to disable sleep completely because it fucks up in a magnificent way. sssd_kcm.log goes read only and borks everything. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/188559/disable-suspend-sleep-mode-completely-on-fedora-21

I also forgot - I installed a package... to get cpu/gpu fans working. i didn't notice any fans beforehand but i'm not sure. this thread is my version of documentation btw :P https://github.com/linux-on-mac/mbpfan#fedora

hey @dropbox@twitter.com - your app won't update correctly on fedora.
your fedora 34 repository is non-existent. it only goes up to 32. I could point it to 32 but that's probably not a good idea.
https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/

also weirdly i get rEFInd to boot osx if i do nothing on boot, and i think a grub loader if i hold option

completely weird, but it works.

I started this at about 11 hours ago. considered functional about 10 minutes ago.
So, I have had a real... linux experience today. whee.

then I found out the webcam wouldn't work, which turns out can only be enabled through installing an experimental driver that *extracts firmware from osx to even make it work* https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki/Get-Started#firmware-extraction

well, lets see - I had to add rpmfusion repositories to even get my fucking wifi to work https://gist.github.com/jamespamplin/7a803fd5be61d4f93e0c5dcdea3f99ee

whoops, forgot about fedora. that has a apple livecd function so... good indicator. https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/

https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?t=71821 for reference for me later - this is where it also breaks after workaround, so not worth it

Aaand the workaround now fails, and further in another thread a yum update breaks everything. Guess red hat is out the window. Hello Ubuntu I suppose.

well that wouldn't boot because i installed that via legacy mode, and now I'm in a hole because @RedHat@twitter.com don't ship mac efi tools by design. thanks a bunch. attempting workaround from this thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1751311
