@liaizon No, I'm sure that's fine. It's been a while, but I think I just set mine up with grub as the default for convenience.
If I remember right efibootmgr only has macOS selected after an upgrade. So I think you could use it to set macOS as the first option and Ubuntu as the second option and then it _should_ show up when you hold down the option key, but boot into macOS by default.
@liaizon (there's a lot more info there, but you should only have to worry about changing the boot order)
@liaizon Pretty much every time I update macOS the boot order gets reset. If you boot into a live USB you can use efibootmgr to change the boot order making Ubuntu boot before macOS.
This seems to be a pretty good overview of how to use efibootmgr: https://www.linuxbabe.com/command-line/how-to-use-linux-efibootmgr-examples.

@bonzoesc This looks pretty cool!
Took a few macros in our yard this evening. Enjoying the cool sunny weather while it lasts.

There are many forest fires in Mexico at the moment, which is why Mexico City is in a pollution contingency plan. The fires are concentrated in avocado-growing regions: people are illegally burning down forest to turn it into avocado monocultures, and taking advantage of a loophole in land-use laws: https://www.sinembargo.mx/16-05-2019/3581975
The article says those avocados get exported to Japan, Canada, and Europe.
So if you live there, maybe try to eat something else?
@annika That would be really disappointing since online bill pay is pretty standard. I hadn't used paper checks for years even before switching to Simple.

TIL – Using conditional entries in .gitconfig to automatically manage #git identities based on the working directory. Nice!

A few pictures from a recent walk to the ponds near my house. The primary goal was a GPS track so I could add a new path to OpenStreetMap.
@platypus Haha, don't worry Microsoft will definitely undo those regedit changes in a future update anyway.
@platypus Every once in a while I need legit Office to edit documents for work, otherwise I could ditch Windows. But I should just run a VM on Linux and call it good. I just hate to use a pirated copy or pay for a license for a VM I only use a couple times a year.
