What's the best way of recycling/getting rid of a 2011 iMac?

Why get rid? I bought one for £80, stuck an SSD in it, upped the RAM, installed OCLP Monterey and use it every day for work.

Multiple journalists, including Newsnight's political editor, tweeted about it yesterday, having been briefed by Labour sources. Even the HIGNFY account was tweeting today that Starmer blackmailed the speaker.

All quiet in here then after Starmer blackmailed the speaker into overriding the SNP on their opposition day to include an Israel-friendly amendment to the ceasefire vote?

I missed Sam Gendel’s blueblue when first out, and only now just caught up with it. Blimey it’s good, a modern classic in the same way Nala Sinephro’s Space 1.8 is.

I see CTT is enforcing 20mph speed limits on courses where they are such limits for cars.

I don’t really know the history, has there been an incident that triggered this?

FWIW I did my local 10s on a road bike on the drops and enjoyed it immensely. There are road bike specific TTs also.

What’s the electorate got to do with it?

The brand is detoxified

Citation needed.

I don't think any party has blatantly ignored the electorate and is appealing directly to the media, establishment and business as much as Starmer's Labour.

I reckon they'll get two terms, though. The Tories will knee-jerk further right after this election, but it won't land without a populist leader. They'll have a sensible man in a suit in 2034 and Buggins' Turn it as Starmer is doing now.

But why are they doing this?

I guess you either believe they're saying anything to get DM readers on board, and then Starmer will unmask and revel he's been Magic Grandpa all along. Or alternatively, they're an authoritarian, neo-liberal party just saying what they believe in.

+1 I used OCLP to install Monterey on a 2o11 iMac, and it works great. I'll be using it to put Ventura on in September, once Monterey is unsupported.

Much like Kokoroko last year, found the Yuseef Dayes album a bit 'eh'

If in the Apple eco-system, then a used Airport Express is a cheap no-brainer for streaming via Airplay.

He’s been talking like that for a while. Full on Neolib - no extra money, deregulate, encourage business to get involved.

He’s had personal donations from people with interests in American health care companies; I’m sure coincidentally.

I’ve just moved into a detached house after living in apartments for the last five years. Oh my god. My speakers sound so different when I’m not listening at 50db from my listening position. Good lord.

Yes. I live in an end-of-terrace, and I much prefer listening to music via a stereo pair of Homepod Mini's in the shed at the bottom of the garden, where I can set optimal listening position and crank it up vs my Hifi in the house where I'm more limited.

Enjoying the new Resavoir album on International Anthem, one of their more underrated acts I think. 'First Light' is prime spiritual jazz.

Brought a 2011 iMac for £80 the other week, and have been super impressed by what the folks at Open Core Legacy Patcher have achieved. The 2011 iMac is locked to High Sierra; however, with OCLP it's now running Monterey pretty well and it's more than good enough for web browsing, music and video playback, Office 365 etc.

Went to Mali Vegan Thai in SW5 a few weeks back, liked it. Also, great to meet @Oliver Schick of this parish at VegFest the day after.

I always end up using it on Safari as this iOS app is so shit.

I quite like the HomePod mini. I've got one upstairs for background listening, and then a stereo pair in the shed for when I want to be anti-social and crank up the volume a bit when the wife has gone to bed.

A single is 'ok' for background listening, whereas a stereo pair actually sound quite nice.

So much for the tolerant sensibles!

Following on from the ‘River to the sea’ discussion, I’m sure the sensibles who were so up in arms over the phrase, will be outraged at the Israeli government tweet showing the Israeli flag painted on the Palestinian Territories.

I don’t think Starmer is hiding what any of his policies are- it’s Super Neoliberalism 2 Turbo. No public spending, relax regulations, encourage business to invest, mash the magic growth button.

Glad to be of service
