If the old Intel Mac still works, what should one do? Dump it into a landfill?

I sell all my previous devices on second hand markets like eBay. That question becomes "not my problem:" whoever else is buying it has some kind of use case even though I am done with the system and it no longer fits my use case anymore.

I think that, for the parent commenter to my original comment, this Intel Mac no longer fits their use case. They can fight it and suffer or get the right tool for the job. I'm sure the person who buys it from them won't care that the current version of Homebrew doesn't work on it.

Intel Macs run Linux very well, I might add.

It should also be noted that, yes, most electronics eventually get scrapped for parts and raw materials. It doesn't really take all that long for important components to fail to a point where a computer is not really worth dealing with anymore. Yes, they can be repaired in many cases, but that's only generally worth it to a small group of vintage enthusiasts (and I say this as someone who very much enjoys vintage computing myself).

Electronics recycling exists, plus a few dollars for the aluminum case.

very disappointed about this

I think they would be able to support older architectures under a paid contract if absolutely needed, for the right price.

Other than that, I'm grateful for the free software.

this reminds me of https://youtu.be/_Q2ncDPDlxs

in some parts, it’s -$100 with student discount

is this even doable/enforceble?

no, they're inventing make-believe crimes they can accuse anyone they don't like of

Sure, it would force sites to block traffic from vpns.

The fun part is when you post videos of yourself using a vpn to go to gov website or the candidate website and watch them do nothing

Well, how is a law against murder enforced when someone doesn't comply with it?

Not even remotely.

consider http://datasette.io/ as well

when i used windows i was happy with The Bat email client: https://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/download.php

we're still waiting for macOS version of The Bat!, which was promised years ago.

well, next day you unplug it and move on.

there aren’t many such jobs

There's definitely a lot more I think but they just don't all get posted there. I know I've seen various FOSS jobs but they get posted or talked about in IRC, mailing lists for a specific project, etc.

But you're right to say there aren't a ton relative to non-FOSS jobs.

There are definitely a lot from big companies like Intel/AMD/RedHat, and some medium companies like Canonical. More on the FOSSjobs wiki.
