Yeap. Blame the "other": migrants, homeless, minorities, Jews, Muslims, gypsies, gays and other such scapegoats for one's current situation and angsty anomie. Fox News, Newsmax and talk radio rebuilt fascism and millions conveniently pretended it didn't happen.

No iTunes? no thanks. I refuse to "upgrade" to marketing adware that takes away features. I'll stick with Mojave on my Hackintosh for however long that lasts. Oh and Catalina won't run anything that's 32-bit either.

South Park rules.

1. Pollution of air, water, and soil (feces-spraying ponds)

2. Antibiotic resistance in humans because of overuse in pigs (it doesn't have to be the same medication, only the same/similar pathway mechanism)

3. Pandemics (zillions of pigs kept in close proximity to each other and humans)

4. Climate change (2nd or 3rd most anthropogenic source)

5. Some other hippie reasons

6. More expensive than plant-based food

Yet another transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich by taxation with corrupt non-representation.

Running a hackintosh on 10.14.6 (18G103), works fine:

    $ ifconfig en1 ether
    en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
      ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

It maybe related to wifi drivers.

anonthrowaway28 | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where do you get your cheap servers?

VPS:

- https://bytemark.co.uk (VPS, colo and leased physical by competent & responsive folks (in Manchester IIRC))

- https://linode.com (more than just Linux)

- https://pair.com (24/7 phone support in North America, has FreeBSD offerings too, been in business a long time)

Bonus: And physical servers: https://unixsurplus.com
