That too can be swayed if you define it realistically. The modern Playstation operating system is based on FreeBSD, which isn't entirely pure but feels like fair game considering the BSD license.
Yes, but that's not a perfect excuse since OpenCore (and Clover) exists. macOS very well can boot without iBoot's opaque "man behind the curtain" blobs, Apple simply never entertained it as an option on their chips. Apparently important stuff is happening in that boot process and they can't have you emulating it for fun or profit.
That is worth discussing though, as it's a marked departure from old Macbooks that did support the UEFI method.
It won't open up until people are burning flags in the streets...it's supposed to go until january perhaps. also this is their plan to steal the purse strings from congress into the executive branch.
> It was pretty evident Hunter would have been brought up on charges
No it wasn't. Trump had to threaten Zelenskyy to accuse him at all, which backfired immediately when Zelenskyy denied the accusations. He still claims that Trump manufactured the charges, and we haven't seen any damning evidence that suggests they were credible. I wager that's because the "evidence" wouldn't discredit Biden unless a court was forcibly compelled to do so.
> Hillary ran an email server from her office that contained government emails
This may be news to you, but government officials are allowed to use third-party communique to transmit non-sensitive and declassified information. The reason Hillary was never brought up on charges was because they never found any proof of wrongdoing. Same as Trump's SCIFs, if you want to go there.
> The real crimes started when Trump was running in his first term and Obama colluded with Russian agents to spy on him.
Again, source? We have no evidence that Obama was a Russian agent, whereas several retired KGB officers have attested to Trump's enrollment. I think you're misremembering a few details, but I beg you to link a high quality source if one exists.
When you're overpressured to succeed, it makes a lot of sense to switch up your creative process in hopes of getting something new or better.
It doesn't mean that you'll get good results by abandoning prior art, either with LLMs or musicians. But it does signal a sort of personal stress and insecurity, for sure.
It's a good process (although, many take it to its common conclusion which is self-destruction). It's why the most creative people are able to re-invent themselves. But one must go into everything with both eyes open, and truly humble themselves with the possibility that that may have been the greatest achievement of their life, never to be matched again.
I wonder if he can simply sit back and bask in the glory of being one of the most important people during the infancy of AI. Someone needs to interview this guy, would love to see how he thinks.
This isn't about the tiny percentage of people who are stubborn or technically inclined enough to make it work despite the barriers. It's about the other 99% of people who should have access to NewPipe too.
Alternatively, you can buy a laptop from an OEM that doesn't play keep-away with the Linux upstream using their drivers.
I write lots of Linux software but I have no intention to explicitly support Asahi or Macs whatsoever. Apple's greed is not something I will support with my money or my time, if Apple wants to court the Linux community then they can do it the same way Intel, AMD and Nvidia get along with us. Making your fans reverse-engineer devicetree drivers is just insulting.
Mac hardware is and will be a second-rate Linux experience, which is a shame because Apple could be competing with Nvidia for market share if they simply gave a shit.
It's really pretty incredible - that people are putting up with Apple's "keep-away" is evidence of just how unbelievably far ahead they are in hardware.
And do you think it makes sense to argue that someone who says “macOS sucks big time” but likes their hardware has an “unhealthy emotional attachment to Apple”? If anything, it seems to show a pragmatic relationship (that whatever you like/need from each).
If someone likes their partner's body, but despises their personality and the way they treat them, I would call that an unhealthy emotional attachment, not a pragmatic relationship.
It's almost never pragmatic to assume that your own suffering will necessarily yield a better outcome. Maybe your smoking hot partner eventually becomes a better person, but is it worth investing 10 years of mental anguish for the chance of getting there? A real pragmatist starts dating again, which forces their partner to stop taking themselves for granted. If Apple wasn't a literal monopoly, their customers could be holding them over a barrel and forcing their software products to compete naturally.
macOS sucks because their customers have an unhealthy emotional attachment to Apple. Americans forfeit their opportunity to regulate Apple into real competition, and now we are paying the price with top-down app censorship, UI disaster updates and bugfixes that add more bugs than fixes.
> If someone likes their partner's body, but despises their personality and the way they treat them
Then they have to take the whole package or nothing at all. You can’t swap your partner’s brain. But you can change your OS on your computer. These things are not comparable.
> macOS sucks because their customers have an unhealthy emotional attachment to Apple.
No, macOS (currently) sucks because Apple is doing a bad job. Their customers’ relationship to the company is orthogonal to the OS’ quality.
I don't think that the people who want to buy a Mac to run Asahi Linux have (an unhealthy) emotional attachment to Apple, they wouldn't run Linux on a MacBook otherwise.
(I love macOS, though I also have a ThinkPad with NixOS.)
I recently spent around $6k in a new 14in MacBook Pro with 128gb unified ram and 4tb HD. To replace my old Linux running 2012 MacBook pro.
I searched throughly for something as close to that MBP hw conf but with Linux compatibility. There's just no hardware equivalent to what the Macbookpro, including the build quality.
So I de idea to go for the MBP and install vmware + Linux. It's an amazing piece of hardware.
I work as a contractor these days. I find the teams with top spec macbooks have terribly bloated code bases, because they don't notice. Pulling into the project with my laptop with 8gbs of ram instantly recognizes the bloat. I point out the things they are doing wrong, and they typically know, but haven't cared to fix the issues. They end up wasting a mountain of money in production and ironically become very cost sensitive about hours worked instead.
