Besides what others already mentioned, it's the only smart watch with an open source OS supported by the vendor themselves (that I know of anyway).

For me, it has been ready as a daily driver for more than a year. Battery life is shorter than macos but still long enough that I don't have to think about it (which I can't say about any x86 laptops, even when they use iGPUs). Th

Most of the features in the article are already opt-in. It's not like Firefox just automatically translates articles against your will, for example. Mozilla is mainly responding to inflammatory comments like yours by adding additional

That problem is solved by the subsecond crate (an offspring of the Dioxus UI framework), demo here: https://youtu.be/Kl90J5RmPxY?t=1288 It's not integrated in Nannou specifically, but they're showing off Bevy and

Runs pretty smoothly with iwd. I get occasional disconnects (one every few hours) that may equally be down to my local wifi (other devices have issues with it too). iwd instantly papers over them, so it doesn't impact me either way.

Given that you're already using Home Manager: Make sure to also take a look at plasma-manager! [1] It extends HM's declarative config to KDE/Plasma's config files, which are harder to manage since they also contain volat

I don't think I can do a better overview than https://ghostty.org/docs/about . It's not world-changing but simply a very polished, well-executed terminal. GPU rendering virtually eliminates typing latency. Mo

Funny timing, I moved to Ghostty this week and just today I ran into OOM crashes in Ghostty while developing a terminal UI app. Coincidentally this TUI has a tab bar that looks like this, where UTF8 icons are used for recognizability and ac

It's similarly bogus here. Early Asahi development tried to upstream as much as possible but ultimately still maintained a gigantic pile of downsteam patches, which wasn't a sustainable model. Most of current development is focuse

People are already getting worked up about being prompted to opt into a new feature on update (even if that prompt is hidden behind an icon that doesn't do anything until the user clicks it), so it's not inconceivable that the kil

Just in case anyone's tempted to buy one of these now: Support is alright after heroic (and continuing) efforts to improve platform support, but it's flaky. M1/M2 devices offer better performance and the state of Asahi driver

Sadly compile times of LLVM-based recompilers make it impractical for competitive x86 emulation. We're not just talking a few single-frame stutters here and there, but considerable startup delays and pauses in-game. LLVM's optimiz

I feel your pain on this one despite being fairly comfortable with nix by now. This is 100% an issue either the documentation or the nix CLI should do a better job at. The wiki rightfully points towards "roots", i.e. references pr

SUID by itself is not a security liability. Typically, programs using SUID quickly drop their additional privileges during startup to avoid the scenario you're describing. So the vulnerability in firejail would have to be early during

Honestly the name is doing Qt Creator a bit of a disservice, given how fantastic an IDE for any C++ codebase it is, Qt or not. Yes - it's good for this use case! It even has built-in support for fetching dependencies declared in projec
