does anybody outside the *nix sphere use package managers for their general-use software (stuff like choco/scoop/winget on windows or brew on mac, excluding project dependencies)

started playing dredge. didn't know i'd enjoy a game about fishing

the ios 27 beta is causing my test subject iphone to heat up faster than it usually does - only other time it's reached the temperatures it's at is when i accidentally left it in direct sunlight for 2 hours. i'm guessing this has something to do with the search indexer - it's been stuck at 38% for the whole week post-install

i regret to inform you that they haven't gotten rid of the dead space that was so important it involved shrinking the clock

they had it right before ios 26 and yeah it's pointless but what else am i going to be angry at? politics?

currently installing the ios 27 beta on my old iphone for shits and giggles

if i try and download a piece of software and the only option on the download page is an "paste this curl+bash fuckery into your terminal and enter your sudo password" then that software is automatically ass. just give me a tarball or a package repo, i am perfectly capable of administering my own machine

name the thing

every year, someone really close to where i live attempts a shitty rendition of the national anthem on their electric guitar before starting an 'unauthorized' firework show. the police usually show up pretty quick. this time, i counted about 4 explosions before they were forced to stop.

encrypt your drives and set a password on your bios/uefi settings, especially if you use a laptop that you take with you

whenever someone leaves a public computer unattended, you can either really help them or be a complete asshole by signing them out for them
