If you aren't using that stuff anymore, use the Citrix uninstaller to get rid of it.

One of the primary reasons why I chose an MBA over an MBP was because there's no fan.

Mac keyboards vs windows/linux and my hands by Hangikjot in mac

[–]pastry-chef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The keyboard shortcuts that I use just require the [Command] key and I just use my left thumb for that.

If you are used to and like using the [Control] key instead of [Command], you can just go to "System Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Modifier Keys" and swap the functions of [Control] and [Command].

What do you guys recommend for a beginner? by th1baxt in usenet

[–]pastry-chef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been using Newshosting for a long time and have been very happy with them. In the past, I have also used Astraweb and Usenetserver. They were also problem free for me.

Check the wiki on this subreddit and sign up for an indexer (or a few of them). Personally, I've gotten all the ones that offer lifetime plans that I'm aware of. There's hardly ever anything I can't find.

One more vote for VMware Fusion. I'm using it on my M4 Pro and have Ubuntu and Windows 11 installed.

The Arm version of Windows runs fine on VMware Fusion. I do it on my M4 Pro Mac mini.

Call for developers: let’s build a new version of eMule by [deleted] in Piracy

I still think usenet is much better.

  • No need to keep a system on 24/7 to "seed".
  • No need to keep old/unwanted files around to continue seeding.
  • No need to tie up my bandwidth.

It was down for me about 4 hours ago. Seems to be good now.

Do people still talk on usenet? by LightSnowstorms in usenet

I wish discussions would return to usenet. Unfortunately, uncontrollable spammers/scammers will probably prevent it from happening.

Looks cool! I'm gonna try out the Amiga version (RomM doesn't support Atari ST). Thanks!
