Mistakes are lessons, not labels.

Luvvie spoke to me about raising kids to be “good troublemakers,” and reminding us that children push boundaries or rebel, so their mistakes sometimes come from the best of intentions. She also spoke so thoughtfully about reframing mistakes as lessons that have yet to be learned.

Linux migration stories…

# A pleasant surprise that came from me switching to Linux is inspiring my own father to do the same. After telling my parents about my transition to Linux during lunch one day, my father got inspired to switch from Windows and Linux as well. My father is tech-savvy, though he is not familiar with Linux, especially for desktop, so he asked me questions about Linux. Since he uses his computer mainly for browsing the web, I assured him that switching to Linux would not make that much difference for him, especially since there are Linux distros that are aimed at beginners who migrated from Windows or macOS. I told my father that I have virtual private servers that run on Linux too. My father also did his own research, and discovered Linux Mint. He was pleased that switching to Linux is not as intimidating as he expected, which is certainly helped by how Linux Mint being designed for Linux beginners who migrated from Windows. After testing Linux Mint on an ancient laptop that my brother used to use, my father installed Linux Mint on his own laptop by replacing Windows. In other words, within a week, my family added two new full-time Linux users. It is nice that Linux became another thing my father and I can talk to each other about.

Firewire’s Flame Extinguishes in Tahoe

Unlike on macOS Sequoia and earlier versions, the first macOS Tahoe beta does not include a FireWire section in the System Settings app. Of course, this could all end up being a false alarm. It is still early in the macOS Tahoe beta testing cycle, and FireWire support could return in a later beta version, or in time for the final release. We reached out to Apple for comment about the matter shortly before publishing this story, and we will update this story if we hear back.
