Xiol··on Apple's git still trusts the compromised eMudhra certificates
Did you misread the title?
Xiol··on [dead]
Unfortunately Twitter still has the sauce that other social networks haven't quite matched yet (bsky just isn't there). I see very little chud-adjacent stuff unless someone has retweeted it. Even my For You page isn't that bad, although the 'for you page dawg it's lit' tweet is evergreen. I don't engage with obvious rage and engagement bait, though.

The quality of conversation there is absolutely in the gutter though. There's just no point looking into a thread these days because it's all going to be utter horseshit and obvious bots.

Xiol··on Keyboard differences between Windows and Macs
I do the same. The British PC layout is relatively recent as well, since when I had a Mac in 2013 it didn't exist, and the keyboard layout was the main factor why I ditched it.

Back on Mac now with British PC and it's much less frustrating to use the keyboard. Plenty of other frustrations instead. I'd prefer to be on Linux but the hardware is just too good.
