The Slack group predates this setup.

The original plan was to set up LemmyBB, but the creator of it abandoned it pretty quickly.

And it’s hard to get people to change their habits. The problem was that I didn’t own the domain, so when things went down, I didn’t have the ability to get in to fix them.

This isn’t a Twitter clone at all. It’s more like Reddit, actually. It’s functional if people actually wanted to use it.

I wish I had a Macintosh LC. It was the Mac I learned on, and I have nostalgia for it, even though it was one of the crappiest Macs they ever made.

Yup, the Mac is close to the same age as me.

Very cool. I didn’t actually have a Mac that could run both 7.x and Mac OS 8.0, so I didn’t know they had this for operating systems that old.

I’ve watched all of the really old ones now.

Thanks!

Some other things to look into:

You may also be able to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to download and install newer versions of macOS onto the Mac.

If you really want to install Windows or Linux, you should be able to install it natively, using a USB installer or booting from an install DVD.

You may be able to get it to download Big Sur by forcing the installation of macOS through internet recovery:

1. Restart your Mac.

2. Immediately press and hold one of the following key combinations until you see the startup screen:

   Option-Command-R: Start up from macOS Recovery over the internet. Use this key combination to reinstall macOS and upgrade to the latest version of macOS that’s compatible with your Mac.

This seems like something that really has potential. I appreciate it.

So if you want to view those people’s accounts, you can search using this format:

@[email protected]

and you can see their accounts and respond to them, and they can respond to you, but it doesn’t look like there’s an easy way to subscribe to their accounts yet.

“Your instance” means the domain of the site you’re using.

So if you’re using macstack.net and you’re searching for the sitediscussion section, you’d enter sitediscussion in the search box, but if you’re on another Lemmy site and you wanted to subscribe to the sitediscussion site on talk.macstack.net you’d go into their search box and search for [email protected]

It seems to be possible to use those accounts to log in, but not to actually follow them within Lemmy.

Ahh, I had interpreted “case” as “instance”, not “storage case”.

What, no puck mouse?

Oh, wow. OpenCore Legacy Patcher is an amazing tool, and I’ve used it a lot in the past to get new versions of macOS to run on older Macs. I am surprised they’ve finally released version 1.0.

Is it really that much bigger?

Those were the days. I remember old QuickTime being a really useful app. Everything up until QuickTime 4 was really useful.

I remember that image, but I’m not sure where I remember it from.

Welcome!

I miss that.

Ma’am, that sounds like an awfully specific word choice for you to be using there…

Because they are.

The rights of an individual to live must always be held above the desire of a business to control employees.
