Trying on this Vision Pro thing and I think it’s got potential. Especially with the multi-fit band the weight is barely noticeable, at least for me.

Loving the fact that I can just scatter my windows around, sit down and type on a keyboard when I need to, but otherwise can gesticulate as my heart desires. I’ve always needed to move to think, so this really fits me well.

The avatar thing is… lol but otherwise, it’s a winner for me! How are you using Vision Pro? Any hot tips for good apps here?

                                                            So therefore the second best option is using the most sought after phone, which happens to be an iPhone. is weird

Obviously the old MacOS was deleted to make space for an updated Linux Mint. Everything worked great, except the b43 wifi driver, which made the laptop not to wake up from sleep. I blacklisted 2-3 drivers it was pulling along with it, and I now use a tiny wifi dongle with great success. Overall, very happy.

                                                                                                      Like. :neodog_what: wtf please shut up. Sure it doesn't leverage the hardware as well as macOS does (since, y'know, the architecture was designed by Apple in California and they didn't publish the specs for it so it had to all be reverse-engineered) but so what?

                                                                                                      The reason I have a MacBook is because I like the hardware. The unibody aluminum is nice, the glass track pad is great, the screen is great, and I like that it has an abundance of USB-C ports (and no stupid USB-A ports :dragonbros_spiffy: ). My MacBook Air was priced fairly competitively with similarly spec'd Windows laptops but I trust Apple to have decent build quality and I didn't like the offerings at the time from Snapdragon laptops. Regardless of tech snobbery and culture war stuff, my MacBook Air is a decent machine perfect for what I want it for.

                                                                                                      The reason I put Linux on it is A) because I like GNOME a lot better than the macOS interface and B) Linux has higher quality free software. Most apps on macOS and Windows cost money for a mediocre product. Plus I like how easy it is to boop into a command line to quickly do things, which you can kinda do on macOS obviously but since apps aren't all just vibing in your PATH variable it's a bit harder. Not that I ever use it as a gaming laptop, but it is also nice that I can run Windows x86 games on it using FEX and Proton, which is not something you can do in macOS.

                                                                                                      So yeah, if you think Asahi Linux is a waste of time, stuff it. :soft_dab:

It would cost them nothing. Run a server etc. Promote it in their other products. Fund development just a little. They don't need to win, just weaken the other guys.

All that remains is for the company to make the experience attractive enough to pry movie lovers away from their computer and phone screens. That will not be an easy task.

Nach monatelangem investigativem Journalismus in den dunkelsten Ecken des digitalen Überwachungskapitalismus können wir euch die schockierende Wahrheit präsentieren: Die meisten iOS-Browser sind datenschutztechnische Zombies, die eure Seelen an die Surveillance-Konzerne verkaufen . Aber keine Panik, Freaks – wir haben auch die Lösung gefunden!

Diese digitale Tyrannei zwingt jeden Browser-Hersteller auf iOS, die hauseigene WebKit-Engine zu verwenden – Chrome, Firefox, Edge sind nur bunte Safari-Verkleidungen ohne echte Superkräfte .
                                                                                                                Diese Beschränkung macht echte Browser-Innovation unmöglich und zementiert Apples Kontrolle über das mobile Web . 84% aller iOS-Nutzer weltweit sind in diesem Browser-Gulag gefangen , während Apple behauptet, es diene der “Sicherheit” – in Wahrheit ist es knallharte Marktmanipulation.

                                                                                                                Es folgt Teil 2:

It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.

During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

Apple does indeed keep their “walled garden” fairly well locked down, but in my opinion that’s why the garden is worth spending time in. I don’t have time to maintain a garden myself and Apple’s garden aligns with my sensibilities, it works for me that they (mostly) keep out the weeds.
