alias sandbox-no-network='sandbox-exec -p "(version 1)(allow default)(deny network*)"'
pro-tip on alias:
for sh-compliant shells, including a whitespace at the end of the alias string causes the next token to also go through alias expansion. (maybe it would also be a hint to the shell for tab completion as well). This is a perfect example of when, where, and why you would want to do that.
I have a theory about facebook (and youtube!) showing absolute garbage recommendations.
Somewhere, there's an algorithm designed to increase engagement. And it doesn't care what kind of engagement, so clicking the "I'm not interested in this garbage" button is just as engaging as liking or watching or commenting.
Civilization 4 (currently on sale for $6 at gog) includes a colonization mode. I don't like it as much as the original but that's probably my nostalgia bias
There is an alternate reality where semiconductor advances ended in the eighties. It's called 1990.
Anyhow, the WWW was invented in 1989/1990 on a 25Mhz 68040 NextCube. Strictly speaking, the 68040 and NextCube weren't released until 1990 (and the NeXT was an expensive machine) but they were in development in 1989 so that's not a stretch. Anyhow, WWW isn't really much more than hypercard (1987) with networking.
I once did an April Fool's spoof of netscape that displayed a wait cursor for 2 minutes then a bomb alert. For classic Mac, it was 90% accurate with only 1% the disk footprint.
I was at a bar a few months back, drinking some brewskis with my broskis, and there was a guy with a guitar playing some songs. He started singing (bye bye miss) American Pie. Somewhere around the 4th verse he got stuck in a loop and sang that verse 3 or 4 times before he gave up.
