One of my colleagues works remotely and used to do occasional testing on a #Mac. However the Mac he had was left lying around since it was stuck on 10.13 and hence has not been getting security updates since November 12, 2020 and has not even been usable with Vivaldi for a long while also.

We are sending him a newer Apple Silicon based Mac (since that would also allow easier testing of internal builds using iOS simulator) but in the mean time I pointed out that he could upgrade his current machine with #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher, despite Apple preventing upgraded via the regular method.

He went all the way from #macOS #HighSierra 10.13, right up to macOS 15 #Sequoia without any obvious issues. Once again, it is silly that Apple is letting these working machines just be wasted.

I have an old #MacbookAir from 2010 that's been unused for years now since the Magsafe 1 power cable broke. So I bought a USBC to Magsafe1 adapter and the computer came to life.

But I needed to reinstall the MBA and the recovery mode can't download the #OSX #HighSierra Image for some reason.

Found a solution here: mrmacintosh.com/how-to-fix-the

The https address don't work but works via http. So setting the right #NVRAM variable like this it works!

#RightToRepair must include software backward compatibility.

This is ... not nice.
I don't want to use the web in Safari just because my home instance Mastodon killed its compatibility with my Vivaldi browser version last night.
Do I have to move to a non-Mastodon instance?

Vivaldi 5 from 2023: Mastodon is unusable due to notifications and advanced view not opening.
Safari 13: mangled display for notifications and considerable delay in first-time-actions, but then usable.

Some detailed error reporting follows. cc @PaulaToThePeople

#MastoAdmin

My home Instance, #Mastodon version v4.3.1-stable+ff1 no longer displays notifications: "The requested page could not be rendered."

Opening the advanced deck view fails with "Due to a bug in our code or a browser compatibility issue, this page could not be displayed correctly."

Home feed and lists display okay.

Browser #Vivaldi 5.7. – older version from 2023.
Just updated to 5.8, apparently the last Vivaldi version compatible with my Mac: same issues.
Current would be 7.x. which doesn't run on my #MacOS 13 #HighSierra from 2019.

Safari 13.1 works okay-ish with notifications, although display of liked and boosted posts is mangled.

It seems to time out without error on opening preferences. But after 5mins or so, it does open and also displays the advanced view correctly, tho with the mangled notifications.
Opening a random oldish toot from within one of the columns won't display the toot, just an empty column, no error. Opening a new toot from 5mins ago displays immediately.
Re-opening the oldish toot then displays fine.
And it first doesn't open the window for emoticons. No error. Just doesn't react to mouse clicks.

Reply to a toot works. Upon edit of the reply, the emoticon window suddenly displays normally and does so after that.

"Old Tree at Echo Lake". Some of my favorite cameras to use while hiking are the folding medium format cameras of the 1950s. They are compact, simple to use, and give your a big negative. This shot is from the Super Fujica-6, which was top of the line at the time it was made, with a coated Tessar-style lens, a coupled rangefinder, and automatic film advance (stops at each frame for you). My "auto" advance is sadly not working, but I just have to stop winding the film when the next number appears on the counter. Pretty simple. Shot on Ilford Delta 100 and developed in Diafine. #filmphotography #120mediumformat #highsierra

“Out of the Fog” (1941) coming up on this morning! host Eddie Muller mentions a story that Lupino did not want to work with Bogart again on this movie, filmed a few months after their joint starring roles in “High Sierra”.

What’s behind this tale? See this article for more:

Celebrating the Criterion release of “High Sierra” in 2021, I delved into the purported feud between Bogart and co-star Ida Lupino. This turns out to be a fascinating story that, fortunately, ended with the two becoming good friends.

Lupino said of Bogart many years later: "When he liked you and he believed in you, he was the most loyal, wonderful guy in the whole wide world."
