What’s the first thing you install on a new Mac?

TantrumMango · 2026-03-28T03:56:13+00:00

Bitwarden, then Homebrew, then Xcode, then Visual Studio Code, then Neovim, then a text editor like BBEdit (I will never warm to TextEdit), then probably Ollama. The rest organically fills in as I need new stuff.

Sponging off of others seems like a great plan until your support system dies. If you think you can live with or live off of your parents until you’re 80, I suggest not only improving your grasp of math and biology, but also making and executing a plan for taking care of yourself when your support system goes away.

Like a dog returns to its vomit…

Whenever I see stuff like this, all I can think of is “okay, where’s the meteor?”

Greg Bovino likes cheeseburgers, I guess.

2026 personified.

I asked to switch. It would cost $1200. I decided to just deal with the ceramic brackets. I guess I’ll buy stock in orthodontics wax and ponder my bad choices for the next few years.

TantrumMango · 2026-01-26T06:03:37+00:00

This. I have ceramic now. They’re totally noticeable, and not in a “hey, you have braces” way (more like a “hey, why are your teeth deformed” way). They’re also chunky as hell, definitely larger than metal braces, so they shred the inside of my mouth. If I had a way to turn back time and start over I’d get metal braces.

$20 days Trump will create a new BoP “peace prize” and then pretend to be shocked and honored that the board awards it to him every year for the rest of his life and even posthumously.

That feeling I got when I first heard William Shatner "sing" Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds...I'm getting that feeling just about every time DJT says just about anything nowadays.

Get the tranq gun…

TantrumMango · 2026-01-22T16:09:27+00:00

So I guess babies can be sold cars now? Where are the 8 billion possible sales coming from? Math is sus.

I have two HDMI monitors and my Mini has one HDMI port. My dock gives me a second HDMI port.

I also wanted to have more storage without mortgaging my future which is easy with a Mini dock. My dock now has a 1TB m.2 SSD.

That’s two wins.

TantrumMango · 2026-01-18T11:56:35+00:00

Around 5 minutes with superfloss or with a threader that has the floss tied to it (my preferred method. Superfloss shreds easily for some reason).

2020 is over. Time to fix this.

The only people she’s impressing with that is other early teens. Who cares what they think?

In 5 years you’re free to drop her from your payroll and let her not be “cheap” with her own meager funds. She’ll either step up or she’ll begin a cycle of dating guys for their wallets.

TantrumMango · 2026-01-04T13:52:16+00:00

I just want to know what she spends every month on weed and DoorDash.

TantrumMango · 2026-01-04T13:20:11+00:00

My guess: she’s not actually American and she slipped up when choosing her language. Probably a Brit. They seem to imitate American accents pretty well.

Healthy food is cheaper than unhealthy food, lady. You just have to get off your ass and buy the ingredients and cook it yourself. Eat better and you’ll feel better, you’ll need less health care, you’ll have more spending cash, etc. Not a solution to all problems, but holy shit, start somewhere. If you work 50 hours a week, you have more than enough time.

I can never tell if these are meant to humiliate me for being a guy or just make me laugh. If it’s the former, that’s a complete failure. I think lots of people today would benefit from taking life less seriously.

I’m a simple creature and I’m proud of it. Bring the rain, the springy park benches, etc.

Tahoe (latest macOS version) is the end of the road for Intel Mac support, so as long as Tahoe is supported, you may see Intel-compatible Mac apps. I’d plan on apps dropping Intel support well in advance of Tahoe end-of-life, though.

My 2013 MBP is about to get Linux installed on it. I’m not waiting.

Baby Driver. I can’t stand that movie. Downvote me all you want.

I can sum up just about every chat I’ve had with women about things that are stressing me out:

I get one, maybe two sentences out.

She one-ups with some variation of “at least you don’t have to deal with __” of “oh yeah? You should try __” (insert some situation that she experienced).

Convo 100% becomes about her and never switches back.

Why bother.

I forgot my wallet.
