…via virtualization, so not as exciting as the title insinuates.

Edit: apparently they got it working on bare metal too.

Discovery.

“Real” leather (A.K.A. someone else’s skin) is also usually coated in plastic and processed with extremely harmful chromium salts, so it’s usually not any better than the worst leather alternative.

Good. LLMs are a fucking blight on the world and every company that pushes that dogshit deserves to implode.

It is unwise for anyone to bet against certain odds.

People just don’t like reading slop from lying machines. It’s really just that simple.

Polluting a chat thread with slop is just a rude thing to do. Nobody like sloppers.

If you couldn’t be bothered to think or write for yourself, why would you think anyone would be bothered to read that?? It’s literally just pollution.

All conservatives are pedophiles.

The owning class is the only minority group that does you any harm.

This is why I hope to see rule zero get shit-canned. It’s a naive vestige from a time long before we hit late-stage capitalism. Corporate interests have slithered their way into every facet of our lives and we should be working to make software that we write hostile to their practices as much as we can.

If that means that the organizations that have a stranglehold on Open Source™️ don’t like it, so be it. We can follow in the spirit of open source without the naivety or captured interests of organizations that define the arbitrary terms by which we categorize software licenses.

How would one DIY HDCP stripping? I’ve never looked into this.

The Windows Vista part of this is a complement. Software should be fun and colorful again. Apple’s design is lacking in color, but this feels like a step forward.

I also agree that throwing transparency everywhere is probably really bad for readability. I hope the high-contrast mode can correct for that.

I use vertical tabs because horizontal tabs use more screen in wide aspect ratios (16:9 or greater) and I want to optimize my screen usage for the actual content, rather than the tabs.

Firefox’s version of MV3 explicitly supports the things that uBlock Origin needs to do. It’s not the same as Google’s malicious MV3 that was targeted at destroying adblockers.

It would be annoying if they removed MV2, but it wouldn’t break things like it did for Chromium.

You can just write bash scripts in your actions if you want them to be easily replicatable on your local machine, so you don’t really lose anything with that system.

The well deserved Snap complaints 😏

Running x86_64 emulation on an ARM CPU is a miserable experience and should be avoided. I’ve done this on an M-series Mac with UTM, and you’re looking at ~10-minute boot times just to get the VM booted, and ~3 minutes for it to render a response to whatever you click.

It’s honestly wild that they seriously suggest doing thision their Wiki.

This is the way. The uBlue derivatives benefit from the most shared knowledge and problem-solving skills being delivered directly to users.

Between that, and using a decorative distrobox config, I get an actually reliable system with packages from any distro I want.

Oh, that’s brilliant!

By the time you’re reading this, we will have enabled microphone support on most laptops!

Awesome!
