Dear Fediverse, I need your help: I am using a #Mac 10.11.6 using El Capitan (latest version usable) and 6 hours ago, #Firefox disabled all my extensions, with no way to retrieve them. I am unable to install the ESR version because my #Macbook is too old, and it seems no way of overriding this #FF decision? So basically byebye #adblockers, #repairability etc 😭 , FF WTF?
Any way to manually override? The config explanation seems deliberately confusing 👇🏽. Or alt #browser?

How to remove an M4 MacBook Air battery: unscrew, unscrew, unscrew, unscrew … [some other stuff] … peel, peel, peel, peel, peel, peel, peel, peeeeeeeel.

#MacBook Air M4 teardown happening now—did #Apple make any hidden changes? Stay tuned!

A colleague gave me an old Macbook Pro 9.2, which was too slow even to open Safari or read emails...

After upgrading the ram from 4 to 16gb, changing the old HDD for a new SSD, installing #Fedora... I made a Zoom call while I had 20 tabs open on Firefox, with Nextcloud, Thunderbird, Telegram and Emacs open in the background.

But the thing that amazed me was the strange sense of #empowerment (?) I felt during the process.

I installed Elementary OS 8 (elementary.io) on one with 8 GB RAM and it's quite snappy - and has all recent Ubuntu security patches.

The desktop experience is very Mac-like and I don't think the average user looking or a cheap laptop would care that it's not macOS, and neither would a non-profit who takes donations. We'll see what happens.

Apple starebbe sviluppando un iPad o MacBook pieghevole da 18,8 pollici con Face ID sotto il display, secondo nuove indiscrezioni. Il dispositivo, che potrebbe appartenere a una nuova categoria, sarà dotato di display pieghevole e potrebbe essere un iPad Pro o un MacBook. #Apple #iPad #MacBook 💻📱

Por cierto, que no sirva de precedente... #Mac y el hardware del #Macbook con ARM honestamente le dan mil patadas a windows... pero no a Linux en términos de Software

Y ojo, cada vez creo mas que el problema de Linux es un problema de no tener hardware exclusivo.
