If you mean 'run macOS apps on Linux', Darling [0] already exists. Running command-line applications is already possible, GUI applications less so. If you want to run Windows Games on macOS, that is also very much possible. Wine r

I think it would be neat to hook up a (realtime) speech-to-speech model to something like Home Assistant for smart home controls + generic questions. HA has this feature, but is currently using a STT + text model + TTS pipeline, which works

Not in the same way that X does. However, Microsoft specifically implemented an RDP backend into Weston, which ships with WSL2. So the Linux Windows you see are actually being sent over RDP transparently.

WSL doesn't have an X Server, it has a Wayland compositor. That said, yes, you can use that. You can even run a different compositor nested so you get one single window with a desktop if you want.

I can confirm npiperelay does the job just fine. If you happen to use Nix, I have a quick and easy package at github:Cu3PO42/gleaming-glacier/next#wsl-ssh-agent. Simply install that and 'source $(which wsl-ssh-agent)' in

Clearly an LLM is not conscious, after all it's just glorified matrix multiplication, right? Now let me play devil's advocate for just a second. Let's say humanity figures out how to do whole brain simulation. If we could run

For me, my computer is a tool that I need to just work. Therefore I understand the frustration of occasionally fighting Nix to get things to work right. For the same reason, I don't think I will ever move off of Nix again. Once somethi

It can be configured to be much more aggressive with formatting, but I'm not certain if you can force it to produce the exact same output for any possible whitespace in the input.

Guix is also a great project and I don't want to dissuade anyone from using it, but Nix can also be used as a package manager only.

I care about the complexity because I want/need to maintain the code down the line. I find it much easier to maintain shorter, simpler code than long, complex code. Also because it was an experiment. I wanted to see how it would do and

I wanted a tiny helper tool to display my global keyboard shortcuts for me on macOS. I gave Kiro a short spec and some TypeScript describing the schema of the input data. It wrote around 5000 LOC including tests and they... worked. It didn&

Yes, you can boot Unified Kernel Images (UKI) directly from UEFI without an additional bootloader. A bootloader may still be helpful to manage your various entries and provide you with a menu to select one of many entries to boot.

While I don't think it's reasonable to blame corporations for complying with legal orders in the end, I don't see any evidence that they tried to fight it. I really wish they did.

It is horrible UX and one might argue intentional. The terminals are provided by the acquirer, i.e. the same party that stands to make extra money if you let them handle the currency exchange. In Germany, there was a sliver of time where st

To make things more complicated: it's not necessarily your home bank making the exchange, it can also be your card scheme (e.g. MasterCard/Visa/...). However, this is something you don't get a choice in. Your bank has an

I'll admit that I'm skeptical and that I'd generally prefer less centralization. I love what Nuxt has done with Nitro, for example, and it being compatible with "all" hosting providers. Compare that to Next, which i

I actually disagree. I really like the keyboard on the current MBP and would describe it as a significant departure from the butterfly keyboard that came after your model. That said, keyboards are personal preference, so I wish you luck in

It's definitely possible. nixos-anywhere [0] implements this in a neat package for NixOS specifically. I am relatively certain you could use the same script to boot into a different distribution, though the installation part itself wou

It probably was. It was also illegal. As much as you, I, or even public opinion may agree that something is right, we can't have public servants knowingly violate the law when it is convenient. To accept that would be to forfeit many o

Depending on jurisdictions, it may not be about security, but just a regulatory requirement. I need to confirm any transaction made in the bank's app on my phone, so I feel my card is sufficiently secure in that sense. However, busines
