After all these years, Disk Utility can't format multiple drives at the same time…
Which makes it really time-consuming to securely erase old thumbdrives.
@matigo Just two issues with getting a new refurb:
- I only work from home now, so the Mac Pro is all I need, for the most part.
- Basically every model even in 2019 might have some keyboard issues due to the butterfly design. I'm too picky about my keyboards to accept that.
Bought my Macbook Air refurbished in 2014. 6 years on, it finally says "Service Battery".
It has served me well…
@hazardwarning I'd argue that anything that isn't a diary (lived experience) might be considered appropriation. Surely, any imagined worlds (or characters) that have any resemblance to reality are the result of taking things perceived in the real world and running it through the distortions of the mind.
Would be a shame to lose all fiction…

@matigo It's comforting to see the international support, I must say; at the same time, it would be quite ineffective for any one country (even the US) to go solo against China, so realistically this is the bare minimum needed to put any pressure on anyone.
Have reached the end of my tether with a colleague who, instead of responding to emails, takes a photo of the email, uploads it onto WhatsApp, then sends his comments on WhatsApp.
I could have zero items on my todo list and still have no time for that kind of idiocy.
@matigo This is true.
From what little I can find (though I'm appalled there isn't an easily accessible formal list), Canada doesn't have an extradition treaty with China, but does with HK.
So one can only hope that if HK loses its special status, that everything related also gets reconsidered internationally.
@matigo If that happens then I will renounce my HK/Chinese citizenship. That's why I'm working on keeping my other passports valid.
