  1. MWM is included in modern Motif binary packages.
  2. Wild because "Apple proprietary" is on GitHub and Orbstack is closed source but go off I guess.
  3. It’s a shame because the TINIEST amount of web searching would’ve brought them DRM playback and video accelerated Firefox. It’s not a 1-to-1 experience like a ThinkPad running Linux but I think anyone using Linux as a daily pretty much knows there’s some things you gotta dig for.
  4. I rely on this site HEAVILY at work. Makes figuring out package dependency hell a dream!
  5. "Availability varies depending on region. To start, Maps on the web is available only in English. Maps on the web will be available for additional browsers, platforms, and languages soon."

    Read the small text.

  6. Not always, but they make it their goal to be.

    Code standards are very strict in OpenBSD and security is always a primary thought...

  7. Doesn’t affect RHEL7 or RHEL8.
  8. Gives a nice overview of the changes to Virtualization framework. I wish Apple would’ve provided more technical videos like they did last year…
  9. How the heck does the statement imply that?
  10. Crazy that they’re still offering CentOS 7 images. PLEASE DONT USE THEM
  11. Crazy coming from the guy that can literally pull up any convo you’ve ever had in your Tesla
  12. There’s some merit to this imo. Sure you COULD run vintage games with UTM, but we all know what we’re really gonna use it for. Curious if someone were to try this with DOSBox if they’d get the same reaction.
  13. Their UEK kernel is also what allows OL8 to run on Apple Silicon. The more you know!
  14. I’ve had no issues with Parallels, but their supports a bit rough.
  15. iCloud Keychain would be my daily driver if it let me do multiple domains per entry. Some websites (like school accounts) have a bunch of different domains that use the same central authority for authentication. So it’s one login for multiple domains.
  16. Because Windows 11 already has OpenAI baked into it? Stupid rage-bait article.
  17. For today, sure. For 5 years down the line, probably would be a different story...

    Also note that he's probably not using a Chromium-based browser for his "web browsing" experience... base Safari does fine with 8GB, even with a large amount of open tabs.

  18. This doesn’t even go into the meat of it. To ensure smooth migration, Apple basically simulated the migration across a bunch of its devices and collected diagnostic data. And in collecting diagnostic data, checked for issues/addressed them so when it was go time, the risk was near-0. Now that’s engineering.
  19. So I can only give a recent example of pinsyscalls(2), which associate a system call to a specific memory address to prevent return-to-libc attacks. It's subtle system/OS stuff that make it secure. You throw that out the window installing third party apps though... OpenBSD is best served pure if security is your main angle.
  20. I'm so gonna try this out... in a maximum security isolated VM
  21. Besides homework, all of these things seem to be professional uses of GPT-4. If they’re trying to bake this into a consumer platform like Siri, I don’t see why they’d need to focus on those use cases. Besides MDM/Enterprise, which will be curious if they try and attack this market or just their army of consumer devices.
  22. Even when macOS is unsupported, Asahi has given the M1 the chance to live for a very long time.
  23. “To meet demand” Wild, so the service slash you did in 2022 wasn’t a good idea in the long run?!?

    Seriously, I wish there was better trains in the US than this contracted out crap.

  24. But is anyone prohibited from going out and buying an Android? I see plenty of Samsung ads on TV.

    Does Apple stop you from downloading Signal and communicating with your Android friends that way?

    It's called "competitive advantage" in the US.

  25. Microsoft didn't have competition in the 90s. Apple has plenty of competition, they've just built up a competitive advantage which is their fully-integrated platform. Googles been trying to build one on the Pixel for years and haven't come close to their success.

    Apples been doing this "next level of nefarious" since the App Store's introduction in iPhoneOS 3.0, and it's been fine up to this point, otherwise the platform (and consequentially the apps on these platform -- spotify) wouldn't have thrived the way it did.

  26. We own this platform, (we built this platform), we make the rules

    I don't see the issue with this... it's not like they're exploiting an inherited platform like Oracle with (everything), IBM with Red Hat or Broadcom with VMware.

  27. I explored the idea of using Assistive Access as a less distracted UI and hit the same limitations. Hope Apple considers expanding customizability and functionality.
  28. Then do it and stop complaining. This isn’t a charity it’s a company. What company doesn’t have their best interest in mind? Don’t even say a FOSS company like Red Hat because that would be bull.
