<p><a href="/tags/macstodon/" rel="tag">#Macstodon</a> now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎</p><p>Thanks <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@twvd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>twvd</span></a></span> for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂</p><p><a href="/tags/retrocomputing/" rel="tag">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="/tags/retroprogramming/" rel="tag">#RetroProgramming</a> <a href="/tags/vintagemac/" rel="tag">#VintageMac</a> <a href="/tags/68k/" rel="tag">#68K</a> <a href="/tags/powerpc/" rel="tag">#PowerPC</a> <a href="/tags/apple/" rel="tag">#Apple</a> <a href="/tags/mac/" rel="tag">#Mac</a> <a href="/tags/macos/" rel="tag">#MacOS</a> <a href="/tags/classicmac/" rel="tag">#ClassicMac</a></p>

<p>The Linux project continues.</p><p>Bonus learning: you'd think older machines would struggle, but I've seen no post-install h/w issues on my 13-year-old MacBook Pro: wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, screen, touchpad, keyboard, speakers...</p><p>I suspect age is a benefit to a point, the Linux community having had more time to solve things, subverting Apple's planned obsolescence and urge to sell more regardless of environmental impact.</p><p>Here's a pic to celebrate.</p><p><a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#linux</a> <a href="/tags/unbuntu/" rel="tag">#unbuntu</a> <a href="/tags/apple/" rel="tag">#apple</a> <a href="/tags/mac/" rel="tag">#mac</a> <a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#photography</a></p>
<p>For many people, the <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> vs <a href="/tags/windows/" rel="tag">#Windows</a> vs <a href="/tags/mac/" rel="tag">#Mac</a> debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.</p><p>~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines <a href="/tags/microsoft/" rel="tag">#Microsoft</a> and <a href="/tags/apple/" rel="tag">#Apple</a> called trash.</p><p>This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.</p>
