On a visit to Kentucky and just got this screen when I tried to access my DMs. Here's what age verification laws look like. Oh well, guess I'll check my Bluesky messages in California.
Google's assault on F-Droid has begun. They are permitting malicious actors to claim other people's apps and take them over. As we've warned, this is going to destroy F-Droid and independent app distribution around the world. Speak out and help stop them at keepandroidopen.org. #keepandroidOpen
Researches have found a lot of apps with malware on Google play store before, so why am I surprised..... Their new developer verification policy on Android was always about control and killing competition, don't let them brainwash you into thinking this will improve security - because they have already proven that they can't.
Today we launched code.overheid.nl: the NL government-wide code platform 🥳🥳
Code.overheid.nl is a pilot in which we are going to test @forgejo; an open source and sovereign alternative to GitHub/GitLab.
This is an initiative of @BZKopensource, in collaboration with our friends from team DAWO (SSC-ICT), @opensource , @developer , and a number of participating government orgs. 🤝
Op 24 april was de softlaunch van code.overheid.nl: één gedeelde gitomgeving voor de overheid, gebouwd op Forgejo. In deze blogpost bespreken we wat er nodig is om dat tot een succes te maken: beginnen met bouwen, en samenwerken.
De Nederlandse overheid publiceert een deel van haar broncode als vrije
opensource software. Om software te beheren is een versiebeheersysteem nodig.
Hiermee kun je veranderingen in de broncode traceren en beheren.
Dank je. Ik heb 't gelezen. Alhoewel de niet-vrije licentie van GitLab EE zeker een punt van aandacht is blijft het m.i. wat onderbelicht dat EE ook veel geavanceerde functionaliteit biedt die niet noodzakelijk ook in Forgejo zit. Of je dat als platform nodig denkt te hebben of liever zelf bouwt is een tweede. @Gina @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource
make a plan for what to do when AI crawlers hit and put it in the desk for emergency (though I hope it will sit there until infinity and never be used)…
…that's the reason I moved my Forgejo instance into my VPN… >10k req from unique IPs in half an hour basically brought it down… …all to relatively "expensive" paths… …Anubis caught none…
@Gina, congrats on this great milestone! 🎉 It's awesome that government agencies are thinking about these important initiatives, wish we had a team like yours in our Ministry of digital transformation (Ukraine)... Fingers crossed for your success! 🤩🤞
Awesome! I wish #Canadians could similarly get their acts together. There is a limp-biscuited, vague policy on sovereignty here, but nothing to speak of really seems to come from it: canada.ca/en/government/system… #Canada #ElbowsUp
We intend to be active contributors. We've already found a fix to something that we'll be upstreaming. I'd like to also check for financial possibilities, but that will come after the pilot this year.

"Overheidsorganisaties ontwikkelen samen ..." and "Uw organisatie aanmelden" gives the impression that it's meant to foster collaboration among *government* organizations.
Great ofc, but is there or will there be a facility for 'outside' contributors, ie Dutch (or why not, global) citizens to improve upon the code? (IOW: send Pull Request)
ideally yes, although I admit that we still have to work out some of the permission sets, esp while arranging a connection to the gov SSO.
Edit: more detailed answer is that ideally it should be possible to allow external, trusted and verified contributors onto the platform. What would be far more elegant is if federation came to be, so that external people can do PR's from a different Forgejo instance.

That sounds like federation is (indeed) a much better solution.
I was thinking about (what to do with) a (hypothetical) drive-by-patch ... but opening up the platform to (literally) anyone seems 'a bit' out of scope
This is the final video about our power system. Since we use 2 completely different and independent power systems, I thought we are in an ideal position to compare the two since we always switch between them.
On one hand we have a Bluetti AC180 power unit connected to 260W of solar, on the other we have a custom built power system with 2x100Ah 12V EcoWorthy batteries, a Victron 100/50 MPPT, and a 1000W inverter - all connected to 650W of solar power.
We will compare the specs, the costs, the reliability, upgradability and repairability.

These are the biggest mistakes I made with our power system for the motorhome. So far nothing too severe, but these mistakes are the reason why we ended up with such a complex power system.
From buying the wrong power station to blowing up the car relay, these are the mistakes I made 😄.

Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations — but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.
Without donor contact, these machines are useless. :(
I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters — Apple couldn't care less.
@coreysnipes it really breaks my brain. And it's just starting..
The ONLY solution seems to be this super long and complicated procedure of literally unsoldering the t2 chip, directly reprogramming it, resoldering it, and then hookign it up to another mac in DFW mode,etc.. HOURS of work just to use a machine you own
I don't know the legality of it, but there's a T203 tool from Ali Express plus desoldering and resoldering that is supposed to overcome this. If I had a bunch of these that were legit donations I might try to figure this out, if it works.
@Victorsigmoid have you seen the video of that? I just watched it and holy shit its intense haha.
I mean I AM considering it.. but what a nightmare.. its' super time consuming.. and you still need another up to date mac to hook it up to in DFW mode..
So even after ALL that.. you still end up needing a current Mac.. god i hate them
@cygnathreadbare thing is.. the t2 disables ANY boot from USB.. so you need to set the boot security to none.. but you can only do that from inside the recovery center.. which.. you guessed it.. you need to authenticate to even use. :(
I haven't donated mine yet (I was just going to take it to the apple store for recycling after wiping it) - as long as I, the user, wipe it first, it's OK..?
This entry was edited (Wednesday, April 15, 2026, 9:47 PM)
@noodlemaz Apple will just shred it.. so it's "recycled" for the metal.. but they're not re-using it.
In my experience, it's best to wipe it, then set it up with a new local account with a dummy admin password.. then put it as a sticky note on the keyboard.
If you plan for it to be useful again. You don't need an icloud password, just a local admin password.
Link to information about this? Are you saying that the donors failed to clear these machines properly before getting rid of them, or that it is impossible for them to do so?
@LoneLocust on more than one occasion i've had a user go through ALL the steps to clear the computer. And yet.. even with all that, I still can't unlock the boot security without a local admin password.
The only thing that seems to work is for someone to wipe it and then set up a dummy account.
But you have to be a motivated user to do all that. Most people are just going to toss it to donate it. Or inherit it, etc.. thats a huge percentage
@ottaross But I *love* that thieves are disincentivized, just like with iPhones.
If I understand, you need the original user to remove the lock before donating, but they don’t know? I wonder if Apple could build in a feature like “contact this locked machine’s registered account holder and ask if they’re really done with it”. Then I could approve if I really donated/sold it, or click “absolutely not, brick it forever w/o my password” if I didn’t. (Hmm, how could that be abused?)
Learn what to do if you see the Activation Lock screen on your device, or if you're asked to remove Activation Lock on a device that's offline and not in your possession.
I get this may be cumbersome, but if you're a legit charity / business and have documentation from the donors showing it's been legally donated to you (I would assume you get signed paperwork with these computers when they're donated), this would likely be a successful path for you. (2/2) @codemonkeymike @bigzaphod
The sad part of this too is most #Apple Macs post T2 might not be suitable collectors items because of this. I own a lot vintage era #PowerBook G4's and G3's and there were times where I might want to reinstall OS X. Doing that is next to impossible on devices like this. Not to mention, even pre-T2 machines, if you don't use them for a while they lock you out requiring resetting the password through recovery.
I've had go stop taking most idevices because even after resetting them they end up being locked to a schools activation server which makes them unusable So they all end up going to recycle
Suspect you are talking about two different things. For a machine owned by an end user, removing the iCloud account and performing a factory reset absolutely makes that Mac available for activation and use by a new user, T2 or no. However, if the device is owned by the end user’s school or employer and enrolled by that organization to their device management, they would have to unenroll it.
I realize you didn’t ask for these two cents, but it was you photo that shocked me the most. You will suffer additionally from cracked displays with such a tall stack of devices. I’d suggest no more than five high when horizontally stacked.
Good luck working with Apple on clearing Activation Locks. You may need to be registered as a business / agency to get the support you will need.
There are many Windows laptops that can be used for Linux, why should Mac users who pay for security worry about this use of their old computer? If you don’t want a Mac don’t buy one, T2 chip or no. And Apple Silicon has this security built in without a T2 chip, so it isn’t only the T2. You can fix this by passing laws, but you can also pass laws to unlock other kinds of computer security, where does that end? 🙁
it’s thoroughly disgusting. So much waste, yet they play it off like it’s a benefit. No, Apple, most of us don’t want to steal someone else’s property or data, we just want to use otherwise unaffordable yet perfectly functional personal computers.
At this point they need to be forced by law to loosen it up a bit.
With their growing market share the problem will get worse. I would wipe the drive and install linux. The challenge is to get wifi to work correctly. I was experimenting but with Intel based macs, rather than ARM based ones.
@bigzaphod So your problem is that Apple is prioritizing the hardware and data integrity of THE OWNER and the owner did not properly unlock the device before it was recycled (or stolen). Sorry, but that doesn’t sound like an Apple problem. As an owner, that is what I want.
I understand that it sucks to be in your position, but Apple is doing the right thing here.
I've had to give this same bad news to more than one person who bought a used Apple computer. Somebody will sell their Mac or iPad or whatever to a pawn shop or something without doing a reset and there you go. My brother managed to unlock one he got used from Rent-A-Center, but had to spend over an hour on the phone with Apple customer support to do it. I have a feeling if he'd gotten it from Facebook marketplace or a pawn shop or something he'd have been out of luck.
I do appreciate that T2 chips make my macBook basically not a good target for thieves though: They by know understand that stealing these devices is not worth it and don't even attempt.
But it will take time until donors understand that they need to do EACS, which is quite simple:
But this isn't widely known yet. There's been some people who had luck with going to Apple Stores and providing some kind of guarantee that these are donated pieces but it's a hassle. But for such a big stack, buying a T203 would potentially make sense, could perhaps even be part of a hacker space's tools.
Use the Erase All Content and Settings feature to quickly and securely erase all settings, data, and apps, while maintaining the operating system currently installed.
Hmm, I’m about to donate a bunch of MacBooks. All personal devices that were collecting dust. I’ve reset them and reinstalled the latest macOS possible.
Reminds me that this whole ecosystem is broken - My phone number was for a few months for testing purposes in Apple business manager (some 4 years ago) as "technical contact" and even though it's not there anymore, just last year I got three calls from confused people who bought a new MacBook from one of the retailers we used and it presented them with device management window and my phone number ... Not only the retailer mistakenly assigned the serial number under the apple business manager, somehow my phone number still resufarces from time to time even though Apple representatives say it's not there anymore. And even the process of selling old Macs to users and getting them out from Apple business manager is not reliable (at least it wasn't a few years back).
I'm not an apple user so I wonder, is that a result of the original user not removing their account correctly or is this is a matter of "once the owner, forever the owner"?
Contact Apple. Ask for the Enterprise Support Team to look into this. You will have to have some sort of proof about what your organisation does; how you normally obtain the machines. It's likely a "device to device" decision since the devices are locked by the (ex)owner. However, in certain cases Apple may be able to help. (Note: if these used to be for example university DEP enrolled machines, Apple likely can not do anything)
I am not a lawyer, but I am under the impression that the upcoming Circular Economy Act in the EU will prevent manufacturers from pulling off shit like this.
I am never (unless they change radically) going to purchase an Apple product.
I will not willingly support this sort of shit. They can have the fastest laptop CPUs with the best battery life, etc. And they can keep it for all i care. I'll not support that sort of practice.
do you have any more info on the internal workings of these restrictions? Because the T2 chip has known vulnerabilities in both SecureROM and SEPROM...
incredible 😑! MacOS is and always being a trending OS - or almost the cool expensive solution to Windows - pretty nice to be able to use Linux on whatever you want; looking forward to alternative to Android too 🙂
really, the factory reset features in devices with anti-theft measures should ask if the user intends to give the device to a new owner
discoverability of these anti-theft measures doesn't seem especially prevalent
it would interfere with charity somewhat, but even a recommendation that old devices be returned to Apple/Google would at least mean folks are prompted to deactivate ownership thoroughly
it's a mess, honestly not sure how to reconcile this :S
I assume you've already tried a bunch of things, I guess that iFixit's solution of desoldering/resoldering isn't feasable? And have you considered using e.g. checkm8.info/mac-activation-lo…?
Slightly different thing, but gawsh I recently had to look into Apple's repair system as I unfortunately dropped my MBP at our hackerspace and smashed the screen 🙃 I paid something like 600eur for the machine 2nd hand, Apple quoted 999eur for a replacement screen. Ha-ha...
Also ofc there's a chip preventing from simply switching a screen from another unit, so even with the 450eur screens from eBay it's just not worth it just in case I'd mess it up soldering.
The funny thing about that is that they could have a system like that for iPhones and completely eliminate iPhone theft. That would actually serve a social function, and they don't do it
Ugh, I had no idea this was a thing. I'd recently picked up a MacBook Air, needing more than a Chromebook but minus the Microsoft invasion. Apparently there is no OTS option* anymore when you get sick of the overreach.
I'll be able to do the steps to make the device donation-ready now that I'm aware, but this design is wrong.
*Don't at me about Linux; it's an option but it's not a 'walk into a shop and let someone else handle it' option, yet.
I understand why they do that and it's a great theft deterrent, but it would also cost them next to nothing to allow these machines to request a remote unlock, prompting the original machine owner to remove the device from Find My (or not, in case of a theft).
Not to mention Apple's Device Enrollment Program, which locks computers automatically on purchase, before it's even tied to iCloud. And if a company donates or sells a DEP-enrolled machine without unenrolling it, welp, e-waste as soon as you try a factory reset.
when sometimes I say apple is shit, I need to re-evaluate and apologize to excrement; it has uses.
Apple is just a cult for the terminally vain and overmoneyed dumbasstronic idiots.
The pain i n my eyes, when they roll interdimensionally, every time some idiot apple user tells me that "apple protects your privacy betetr, hur hur hur"
:O good to know it. Can I ask since when did Apple begin using T2 chip? Maybe, which Macbook model was the first using that chip? Thank you for sharing this information, it is huge
I have a Mac that's in this situation, someone threw it in a trash can and I pulled it out. I haven't tried it much yet, but you may have some luck with pailra1n. It's an open source exploit that supposedly lets you unlock T2 macbooks among other things, but it seems to be more focused on iPads/iPhones and the documentation for macbooks isn't very good
Just wanting to be sure I understand, it is a problem when previous owner didn't use " Erase All Content and Settings" or they had Firmware password set?
@Gargron Oh no all the stolen MacBooks are useless, what will we do!?!? Honestly all snark aside I’d love for the market for stolen Macs to go down more than the recycle market to go up.
@Gargron @aglimme If this was really about theft, then a user with a stolen macbook would be able to use it to contact the owners for purposes of return.
@Epic_Null @Gargron I totally agree that there should be a mechanism to totally unlock the machine, this however, sounds like a great way to harass someone. Steal their laptop or phone, then constantly ask to unlock. Seeing that pop-up over and over would be so annoying. Also laptop theft from cafes where I live is definitely a significant issue. Just want to point out that there are legitimate reason to brick hardware.
@Gargron @aglimme "Not something I like/agree with/accept" and "Not what it's being sold as" are two different concepts. The latter just happens to be a more convincing argument when talking to people who may have different expectations.
@Gargron @aglimme the one reason to password lock the bootloader would be to DETER theft if people know it will be useless to them to steal it. But there should definitely be an option given to the device owner to disable this.
I've historically had a harder time fixing and selling selling used apple products than any other tech. They just exist in their own ecosystem and play by their own rules.
People who buy apple aren't wanting second hand gear.
Used ecosystem is iPhones under 5 years old and 3rd parties like backmarket ate the whole share.
Support is specialty stores or apple (although their support is top-notch when it's there). Out of support? Might as well have a brick.
@coldclimate assuming they didn't seems excessively generous to me. It seems far more likely they did and don't care. Smaller secondhand market means more pressure for new purchases.
What is the correct procedure to de-link an T2 macbook pro from an account? I have one that I am struggling to make use of. How do I prepare it for someone else to use?
Yep! The organization that I volunteer with is seeing the exact same thing. Lots of very, very useful pieces of hardware are locked and now useless and have to go to e-waste.
I'm thinking a one-year lockout should be the maximum by law, after which the device wipes itself. That way it's inconvenient for thieves, but still kept from becoming e-waste.
Also, this just confirms for me yet again that modern macbooks are just iPads with keyboards.
@argv_minus_one @bigzaphod On one hand you’re right. On the other, Activation Lock has single handedly helped lower rates of device theft. It’s a tough spot all around.
@argv_minus_one @bigzaphod Your experience is anecdotal. Because you haven’t experienced that, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. I’m sure Apple has data on this. Even 1% would be a TON of stolen units.
Again, how does Apple balance deterrence vs consumer convenience? I don’t have that answer but at least there is an option that exists if one provides provenance. I’m not defending them, just pointing out it’s a complicated issue.
Personally I've been using laptops for nearly 30 years and not one of them was ever stolen. Neither were any of my phones.
Maybe I've somehow been living obliviously in some kind of low-theft bubble all these years, but it seems to me that this all is a solution in search of a problem.
@Aaron @argv_minus_one @bigzaphod of course its complicated.. But I think apple is partially responsible here because.
1. They really dont make it clear to the average user how to "release" the device before selling or giving it away. Feels like they're purposely making it hard.
2. The device remains locked even if the original owner removes the device from their apple account. There should be a workflow so a user can release the device remotely after the fact.

Hey. Nations are made up. Citizenship is made up. Naturalization is made up. We have these things because this is the social contract we grew over hundreds of years.
The idea of an immigrant becoming a citizen is no less legitimate than the idea of someone being born a citizen. They are both and equally legal constructs that exist because things were worse without them.
If an immigrant can be denaturalized, then anyone the government wants to be rid of can be denaturalized.
Billionaires love to make us aware of their borders, like electric fences to keep livestock, that's exactly what we are to them, to be bred, worked, culled, and to serve at their pleasure. I wish I was joking, but to billionaires, we are temperamental livestock. Both definitions of "revolting" are used to describe us.

Some 600 pages. I put so much effort into this wow....and the design, was really difficult to design a book about language. The subject was super complex but I am so so happy with how it ended up.
Some 600 pages. I put so much effort into this wow....and the design, was really difficult to design a book about language. The subject was super complex but I am so so happy with how it ended up.
370 pages of understanding in detail how money came to be. I looked at so many isms that tried to organize our society. This was the bedrock of my understanding of our society.
Over a THOUSAND pages long. Comic-book style design with superheroes and characters. By far the most difficult book I ever wrote or ever write probably. This made me have a complete understanding of what this global society is made of. I even created a mega search engine to showcase how a few companies own most stuff - unfortunately I had to discontinue it since it was impossible to update....but yah this book is the achievement of my life :D
This one is a unique book in terms of the subject. Also smaller than the rest around 70 pages. The title is the core of the book and the design was also difficult and unique.
Some 200 pages of pure joy. This one I really loved writing and designing.
I wrote more see here - tromsite.com/trombooks/ and I would love to write more, even if I am sure today is nearly impossible to make anyone read them. People have no patience plus they use these tiny screens (phones) so reading them in this digital format heavily reliant on a landscape design....is a no no for most.
Sad. But maybe I will publish my next content in the same format if I won't be comfortable with making videos.
Anyway, thank you past me for spending so many years creating these. They are really valuable books and they completely changed the way I see the world.
I have read "The Origin of most problems" book, and have read most of "The Money game and beyond" book but I unfortunately didn't finish it. Now I'm not much of a reader or anything, but both of those books were really fucking impressive and I remember feeling such joy and excitement reading those. I also read the "The ugliness of beauty" book which was a shorter one. I can only imagine the amount of effort you must've put into creating these books man, you not only had to research about these topics and write the books but you also designed them in such a beautiful manner. That is genuinely an achievement and something to be proud of 🙂
And personally I think perhaps I should start reading more books and such, there are some problems like my eye strain issues and such which hold me back but I realize that getting into a habit of reading will do me good long term.
And about the device.... I read these on an old tablet device that I had with a 10 inch 720p

And about the device.... I read these on an old tablet device that I had with a 10 inch 720p display, I haven't turned it on for a long time now not sure if it still works lol 😅 But yeah the resolution wasn't great for such a big screen, it was all I had at the time.... The form factor of a tablet was still pretty great for reading a book tho, I could hold it in my hand like an actual book 😄
I would like to know what other format than video would be better suited for new TROM content? I understand that these books may be hard to read unless you do it on a laptop of decent screen. But on the other hand these books allow me to fully express myself via the design.
Making video content would be an obvious choice these days but I understand it can be a lot of work. A middle ground between the two might be Audio books or a podcast style format, however this can be limiting if you wanna include some visuals. I think technically it's possible to include some attachments along with your audio but if your content is predominantly visual then yeah this might not be the best option.
BTW, I will also say that one other advantage of the podcast format in particular is that it's one of the only media that isn't controlled by a single big tech platform and their algorithms. I think Spotify and Apple podcasts have tried to make it their walled garden but failed, almost every podcast is available through RSS feeds even today.
For me podcasts do not work in terms of creating them. Maybe if you have a cool voice and clear, may be more interesting. But this is not for me. I am also a very visual person and the way I designed our books was a great way to express myself.
Yeah I understand about the voice, if I think about it I would also get very self conscious about my voice if I were to sit in front of a mike to record a podcast lol 😅 And about you being a visual person, yeah that's what I was thinking how you expressed yourself so clearly with some simple figure drawings in your last blog post - that made me realize that this is your thing haha 😄 So audio won't help you with that.....
@Tio I remember "The Money Game and Beyond" was my first book that I read and it changed my life basically! I had this thought of "If I were to write a book about the world, I would write it exactly like this!" Amazing how you compress so much relevant knowledge into each of the books and I couldn't be happier to have translated most of them into german - it was a journey that I enjoyed so much 😊 Looking forward to new TROM content and materials however they might be 😉
Thank you so much wonderful friend @aaron you are so amazing for translating almost everything into German. So amazing. And yah can't wait to create more content. Thank you again for this wonderful message!
@aaron I know everyone talks about the origin of most problems book but I feel like the money game and beyond book was just as good and eye opening. I honestly don't remember why I didn't finish reading that book, I think I had to stop due to exams or something - or else there's no way I'd stop reading something that captivating. I should probably go back and read these books sometime 🙂
@Rokosun @Tio yeah for sure, you should! Especially since the last parts were so captivating for me. First chapter is a summary about fucked up the past and our current world is and why, second chapter about different ideas that people proposed to create something better and how they did end up in the world. Third chapter is about what really works and how we can "approach" this world - how to be scientific about the "disease" that exists in the world and "treat" "it". I love all parts and it is written so well :)
@aaron I think I have read most of the book already, because I remember the analogy using aging as a disease and comparing it with our society. Also one of the things that really impressed me in the book is how it answers a lot of the questions that would naturally arise in the readers mind, like how to handle scarce resources - the book talks about the example of organ donation and how that is distributed based on some ethical standards humans came up with.
@Rokosun @Tio yeah, I love those! It's fantastic to come up with good analogies and I think all TROM books do this very well! I feel like it's easy for people to grasp - for me at least :)
Yes that video was amazing, very well done. It is always people not cars that save Earth, and if those people are not getting the bare minimum of help and support they need then we should fix that first!
@sober_pirate@social.trom.tf BTW, there was no description under that video, maybe you forgot to put that on Peertube? Anyway, just wanted to let you know.
i love your drawings
