  • “Kernel maintainer steps down” - and here I thought the dude fiercely opposed to Rust, that dinosaur vowing to fight with all his might against… a project he wouldn’t have a single line of code to maintain, ever, was the one to resign.

    Instead we lost “Marcan”, Hector Martin, the lead of the Asahi Linux project, following an intervention in the drama-thread by none other than Torvalds himself, who rather than arbitrating or defusing the situation, added to it by scolding Martin with “you are the problem”.

    Marcan also deleted his Mastodon account ; I am not quite sure what impact this will do on the Asahi Linux project, but fuck me sideways this all reads like unsupervised five years olds bickering in the schoolyard.






  • I’m using Asahi daily these days; it is dual-boot by nature so you can rock your Linux OS everyday but still have “a macbook” (and be working on a work machine paid by your company, as should be).

    I’d be using it more if the keyboard wasn’t so shit. Battery is good, screen too, processing power… really just the keyboard is wrong, wrong and wrong. Oh, and I love the touchscreen on my other laptop.

    Did you guess my other machine is a Thinkpad? Yes it is. With a touchscreen!



  • You can also ask it when is the cutoff date of their database - there is a gentleman’s agreement between providers not to have ai involved in news / current politics in it’s public chats.

    I tried them on a topic I’m pretty proficient on, (a spaghetti recipe lol) and the answer was the most bland imaginable.

    The way it is setup by DDG, the restrictions and blandness, shallowness of the replies give me peace of.mind when a ‘natural language’ query is the easiest one. And Claude wouldn’t give me the DOB of that queen because it is Personal Info!
