User repairability and serviceability should be(come) mandatory!

Planned obsolescence: the other day I was setting up a refurbished MacBook air from 2017. It officially runs only up to macOS 12. I wanted to install apple’s productivity suite iWorks (pages, keynotes, numbers) on it.

But the AppStore said I would need macOS 13 to download and install it. Why the eff doesn’t it allow me to install an older version of those apps, and why does the 2017 not support macOS 13?

So I installed Open core Legacy Patcher, built a macOS 13 installer. Installed 13 with absolutely no issues and finally was able to install iWorks.

Any non versed or risk taking user would need to buy a newer Mac… good job apple.

Something is wrong, I can feel it.

why do you run Windows 10s File Explorer?

KDE Itinerary. To keep all your travel (rail tickets, hotel reservations…) documents and Infos in one place.

Tokodon/Tuba a great mastodon client for KDE and GNOME respectively

Lollypop a beautiful and useful Mediaplayer and Jukebox for GNOME.

Geary a great mail client by the same developer as Lollypop, also for GNOME.

That explains so much
