      literally everything I can find online says that's the right process, do a csrutil disable in recovery mode, reboot, demolish system apps with impunity

      idk maybe csrutil enable, reboot, csrutil disable again? maybe apple thinks you didn't disable it hard enough the first time

                I honestly think they've gotten weirder since Uriel died, but yeah that's cat-v for you.

                I feel like I should contextualize a bit; a ton of the material on cat-v was written pre-2012 by Uriel, a weird dork who practically created the archetype for galaxy brained esoteric libertarian FOSSbro Internet Freedom Fighter. I think a lot of it stays up in a mostly unedited form since the cat-v folks want to lionize him in death despite it being mostly bizarre cringe.

                    as a FOSS zealot, yeah. it's fucking ridiculous, I am tired of rubbing virtual elbows with ancaps and other right-libertarians (who think they're the smartest person in the room) just because we agree that software licenses are a spook

                    most of them end up being BSD fanboys so it's pretty easy to infer their actual ideology even when they're just talking about software, which is nice, but it's still annoying that there are so many of them

                    FOSS is cool because its literally having digital means of production. FOSS bros are often libertarian dipshits because they don't understand you can't GPL land or factories, no matter how much they try.

    Unix is actually compiled in chess notation so don’t mess around with it.

      The incompatible driver thing is not going to work in Win10, I'm afraid. That was my goto solution for a fucked up keyboard on a laptop I have back when it had Windows 7, but it doesn't work anymore.

      Get out your screwdriver

          Windows 8 is literally the fucking worst. I remember going to a LAN party where a rich kid had just got their brand new laptop (at the time) with windows 8, and straight up asking them how the fuck they could use it.

      This is the putting a stick into a bike wheel meme. You are using a proprietary operating system and expect it to respect your authority.

          Hey, sorry if that sounded like a diss, it wasn't.

          The command line in Linux is there to give you the freedom to customize your computer beyond what's been provided by the distro. If you don't want to do that then there's no need to ever open the terminal.

          Of course, the terminal is also there to fix low-level stuff, but that's also the case on Windows with regedit, compmgmt.msc, cmd, powershell, etc.

    Remember when the owner of apple was so high on his own farts that instead of treating his cancer he killed himself with cracker-bullshitology?

    Good times

        How much stuff actually still runs on Python 2? Would have thought everything would be ported to Python 3 by now.

          Fucking DisplayCal is stuck on Python 2 and as such won't work on any modern Linux distro without jumping though a lot of really annoying and potentially system-breaking package management hoops, leaving me with uncalibrated monitors on Linux.

          Works great on Windows, though! :agony-turbo:

    Why even bother uninstalling it though? It's not constantly running, it barely takes up any space, just ignore it.
