There is nothing of interest in that discussion. It is just you - yet
again - posting one of your extremely stupid and paranoid questions.
Which everyone quickly laughs at and dismisses.
I particularly like the very last post (before the moderator closes it). “Your logic and your timeline leave a lot to be desired. I am out. Any further discussion is like talking to a brick wall in an alternate
universe. Have a happy life in your reality”
Why do you continue to post links here, pointing to even more stupid questions that you ask elsewhere? Are you not embarrassed by the
reactions that EVERYONE has to your stupid, repeated over and over
questions?
You are a complete fool. But you are the only person on the planet who is unaware of this fact. One would think that the reactions to your absurd questions (and deep paranoia) AND the fact that you get banned everywhere
you ask these absurd questions (and display your deep paranoia), would be a giant clue for you.

Hi David,
Have you thought of migrating to Linux. Fedora is
my favourite and is very secure. And you get
a usable task bar too. (I pound my task bar
so bad is cries. Apple would never work for me.)
If you are doing anything really secure, you can
always download a Fedora Live USB (Xfce or MATE
work really well) and boot off them when want
something really secure.
-T
I've not used Fedora though. Will it run alongside my macOS Monterey on
my iMac if I put it on a thumb drive?
Yes, but it won't be able to mount your Mac's hard drive
(Mac does not like to play nice with the other kiddies
in the sandbox).
I get around it by copying off the
files I want to a FAT32 flash drive before booting off
the flash drive.
Mac is just difficult to use if you are running
several programs at once and need a real task bar.
But if you are mainly running only one program at
a time, it is quite functional.
They all have their pros and cons.

rubbish, and its 'task bar', known as a dock, is very much real, along
with other options such as gestures, spaces, mission control and the forthcoming stage manager, which linux lacks.

it can do *much* more than just that.
They all have their pros and cons.
they do, including the taskbar and dock, however the pros and cons must
be factually correct and complete for a valid comparison to be made.

The dock is "Awkward". It tries to combine program
launchers and a task bar at the same time.
If you want a real doc, test out Xfce's Panel 1 "dock". (Panel 0 is the
task bar.) Xfce DOES NOT mix your task
bar and your program launcher bar. 1000 times
more usable.
The Panel at the top is where Mac puts your menus,
rather than on the top decoration of your window.
I use my task bar so extensively, that Mac's
weird/awkward "doc" will never work for me.
I must be able to focus program switching with
mussel memory, not have to figure out what the
hell every time I want to switch focus.
I can see Mac being usable if you only ran one or
two programs. I can have as many of ten going
at the same time and switch back and forth
from each, not to mention virtual machines.
But if you are mainly running only one program at
a time, it is quite functional.

Sure. And do it very awkwardly too.

Don't get your feeling hurt. I would fill a

the best way to deal with problems on a mac is via its own recovery partition, which includes various tools, such as repairing issues with
the hard drive/ssd, reinstalling the os, as well as terminal and a
command line for more involved issues. there are also several third
party tools that have additional options, designed specifically for
macs.
also note that macs can install mac os over the internet to a
completely blank hard drive/ssd (i.e., no recovery partition).

if i need to recover or repair anything on a mac, i use dedicated mac
tools, which are far and away more capable than anything available on
linux.
Just a head's up as they now have a unique boot mechanism which isn't recognised by the usual bootable OSes. One org is trying to hack/reverse engineer it:
https://asahilinux.org/
Apple does not play well with other kiddies
in the sand box.
They screw with Go To Assist on their iPads
big time and are a pain in the ass with
Go To Assist on Macs.
Read only NTFS pisses
me off.
Screwing with the boot would just be another
example.
And it would put a dent in those
customers that buy Macs because the hardware is
of higher quality and then reformat them for
Windows.
It always gives me a start when I boot up a Mac
and stare at Windows 7. Chuckle. Guess
they never heard of Parallels, which runs
really well on a Mac.

and I thought you'd know the answer.
In my experience, I have found that it is very helpful
to have several ways to do things as if one fails you
still have other ways of doing things.

true, but it's important to start with the best tool for the job.
in the event that fails (not likely, but possible), then investigate
other options.

When the common methods come down around your ears,
it is nice to already know about the not so common
methods in advance.
One of the biggies with Mac is folks forgetting
their password and especially their Apple ID.
(Happens when they never reboot and forget.)
I can reset passwords in Windows and Linux, but
do not know how to in Mac. And Apple ID is
almost impossible when the user sets it up
with a cell number that they change after a
few months and don't update Apple ID. Two

I served three years in Germany. Go to go to
SHAPE in Belgium for a couple of weeks to fix
some modems that the Germans were baffled by.
They were some RAF on base at Ramstein, or so I
thought there were. They once could not get
a piece of equipment working and had to call
us for help. All their guys bombed out.
Actually, they asked for me. I was know for
being able to fix things (still am), though I
don't know were the heard of me.
When I got there, I asked where the equipment
was and their response was "you are leaning on
it". After about a half hour, they were up and
running again. I went from being thought of as a
total idiot to a complete genius. They actually
called my commander to thank me. To this day
I do not remember what it was I fixed.
One of the great enjoyments of doing this job is
showing up to a situation I know nothing about
and solving the problem. I am known around town
for it. I live for these kinds of puzzles.
One customer calls me to fix his TV cabling.
I make like $20 off him each time he kicks out
a cord. Last time was the power cord to his

the trip, but it is the right thing to do.
I also fixed an industrial shredder. That

By the way, most people equate the word Yosemite
with nature and beauty. They do not realize
it came from the local Indians and means something
to the effect of "ass holes that murder for no

The thing about newsgroups is that there is
no censorship, so you can speak freely about
various subject with out fear of being censored.
No one is forbidding you from outlining a
problem in M$ Windows.
One may talk about /anything/ here without censorship!
Can you imagine the criticism of Mac OS I have mentioned
being even slightly being allowed on a Mac forum? Windows
forums are the same. Oh and don't dare ask a
question about Windows 7!
Unfortunately, it allows sociopaths a forum as
well. Sealioning is one of their favourite
techniques. So a good kill file is required.
Some are not very inventive with their pseudonyms.
*Arsehole* (asshole) for example! Thinks he's really smart!
He's just posted a message to you!

Prove that you are really British. How many of them
did you catch?

Hi David,
Grams and Gramps on my mother's side were from
Italy and my gramps. Grams and Gramps on my
father side same from England and Switzerland.
I live in an area surrounded by the Washoe nation.
They came here about 12,000 to 14,000 years ago
with only what they could carry (no horses back
them) and create a functioning society. They
are our first pioneers, although they might not
like that description, and they are to be greatly
admired as this area is very difficult to live
in without modern technology.
This is a very touching prayer from our Cheyenne
Americas. It touches me as a former warrier
and will probably touch you as a former warrior
too.
Your in Christ,

The First Warrior looked out on the land and his Home.
He saw the hills
And the stars
And he was happy.
For giving him his home, the first warrior told the Great Spirit
That he would fight and win many battles in His honor.
But the Great Spirit said, “No, do not fight for me.
Fight for your tribe,
Fight for the family born to you,
Fight for the brothers you find.”
“Fight for them,” the Great Spirit said, “for they are your Home.”

Spying how? It is only matching a list of know
porn sites with a list of names.
Do you mean spying on where you go? They
all do that. If you want around that, you
have to use Tor.

Wrong. This censorship of the worst kind. And all your accesses are logged.
And obviously you do not understand that in other jurisdictions such
things are a no go. TOR is not an option in a really free society.

What do you use in place of TOR?
Wrong.

Btw, I do consider my Mac to be just as secure as Linux! ;-)
If you think it's so secure, why do you wipe and reinstall so often? By
your account, you've wiped it 3 times* this year, and we've only entered
the month of August. You're on pace for 5 reinstalls by the end of the
year.
*Is it 3, or have I missed a few?
