If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website.
Quite good advice.
ah, I just remember the time I was the 1.000.000th visitor and got a price for it. Next day a nigerian prince mailed me for help.
Installed Mint in a MacBook pro 16,1 and need help with touchbar
TL;DR: I've got a 2019 Macbook Pro, installed Linux Mint and I can't use the touchbar.
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name MacBookPro16,1
Decided to install Linux Mint, with the help of this awesome website: https://t2linux.org/
My problem is I nuked the whole disk and the osx installation, so every time the instructions require to login in osx, I simply can't.
I was able to download the wifi firmware from here: https://github.com/AdityaGarg8/Apple-Firmware So, wifi works fine.
But touchbar doesn't work:
``` $ journalctl -k --grep=touchbar

If I do these steps:
$ sudo modprobe -r apple-touchbar $ sudo modprobe apple-touchbar
Then I got:
``` $ sudo journalctl -k --grep=touchbar

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Long time ago I was reading stuff about distributed systems and I read about ActivityPub. Given all my real-life friends are using corporation-based social networks, I never made an account in Mastodon.
Until a few days ago that I tried to upload a cat video to Instagram and it lagged a lot. It was very frustrating. I noticed how ads were loading super fast, though. So I finally decided to create an account on Mastodon.
