  • What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

    I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.

    As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.

    Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.

    That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)

    I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!

    There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.







  • The link I gave them was for the organisation I moved the serious stuff to. I did this so I could have more basic, novelty, and experimental repos on my Codeberg, as well as so that other people can “join” the organisation to help work on the projects.

    I don’t know where you got the idea that I’m pretending I can’t show people this stuff. That’s not at all the case. I am proud of the software I’ve written; I just thought I could organise it better.



  • My objectives are education and fun. I enjoy programming, I want to learn more, and I’ve been inspired by Brodie Robertson’s recent video on novelty software as well.

    I’m also applying for computer science courses at a few universities at the moment, and I want them to be impressed. Two repos for projects that haven’t been updated since 2022 isn’t the best look.
