Asahi is all reverse engineering. It’s nothing short of a miracle what has already accomplished, despite, not because of, Apple. That said some of the prominent developers have left the project. As long as Apple keeps hoarding their designs

None of those games, or a very small amount of them, are written in python. None of the ones that need to be performant for sure.

Probably because anyone concerned with performance wasn’t running workloads on Windows to begin with.

They do? How do you know?

At that point we’ll have to convert the voices into a form more amenable to machine to machine communication. Perhaps a system based on high and low signals. Seriously what is the point of all this.

If they have the ability to hook an llm up to a system that can schedule an oil change why can’t they provide a form on their website to do the same thing and save everyone the hassle?

How? Businesses will use this to justify removing what few actual human support staff they have left. Nobody, and I mean it, nobody calls customer support because they want to talk to a computer. It’s the last resort for problems that usual

What is the application of this that makes anything better for anyone? All I can think of is more spammers, scammers, horrible customer support lines.

From a privacy point of view how is it any better than just using a local, native text editor?

Igalia isn’t your typical contractor. It’s made up of competent developers that actually want to be there and care to see open source succeed. Completely different ball game.

I think you missed the mark a bit here. This wasn’t a dependency that was compromised, it was a dep that was malicious from the start. Package manager doesn’t really play into this. Even if this package was vendored the outcome would have b

People say the same thing about BART but it’s not bad at all. Turns out people on the internet aren’t reliable.

In most cases, they couldn't make that decision even if they wanted to. Only independent artists and those that are so large as to have enough sway (Niel Young for example) would be able to. The vast majority of artists you probably li

No way, that would take far too long.

Nobody is gonna download a 300TB torrent just to get the latest Taylor Swift album. There are much easier avenues than that. What’s actually scummy is Spotify paying artists $1 per 1000 streams. Buy CDs. Use Bandcamp.

Incredible. > A while ago, we discovered a way to scrape Spotify at scale. They wont and shouldn’t divulge the details, but I imagine that would be a fun read!

Because they don’t restrict what web browser engines you can run on android, so Firefox is actually Firefox there.

Apple is just admitting like everyone else that not having ads is just money left on the table. Where are people going to go? So yea they’ll keep adding more ads, keep charging more for their phones and there’s nothing anyone can really do

First I even heard that Netflix had a game platform. More subscriptions how exciting.

Pyright has been great. But it’s slow. Speed of a LSP does matter for UX. Excited to see how much ty improves on this.

You’re talking about a duck typed language with optional type annotations. I love python but that’s a combination that should explain a bit why there are so many different implementations.

That’s exactly what it’s for. Parent is just being rude for no reason.

Both of these are super cool. So many times in the past I could have used the redis one!!!

Not really. I love Rust. It’s all I want to write these days. My feelings stem from what I perceive as the degradation of the old school hacker ethos into a more corporate friendly environment. Especially during this time when the bigger c

AFAIK the GNU authors didn’t have access to the original source code because they were proprietary. I don’t know why this matters but it feels different in a purely “feels” way.

It’s a cool project but does anyone else find the choice of MIT kinda icky/disrespectful? Like maintainers have put decades of work into the GNU coreutils under the gpl and all that entails, and then some people decide to rewrite it an

I don’t know. I just started distributing a gtk app and I’ve already gotten two issue reports from people using it on mobile experiencing usability problems. Not something I thought I’d have to worry about when I started but I guess they ar

Did it fail? The servo project seems alive and well, just not under Mozilla. They decided CEO pay packages were more important.
