Eh, I kinda hope not. Codeberg's latency even for just browsing is pretty bad (in my experience) and also is only sporting a single 9 of uptime [1]. I wish Codeberg the best, but I…

This still leaves your device in an AFU (after first unlock) state, with user data decrypted, and should not be treated as secure. The only thing you can do (to protect your data f…

Looks like the SoC (CIX P1) has Cortex-A720/A520 cores which are Armv9.2, nice. I've still been on the hunt for a cheap Arm board with a Armv8.3+ or Arvm9.0+ SoC for OSDev stuff, b…

There is a documented list of things that Lockdown Mode affects [1], this is not one of the advertised ones. There are a bunch of other (undocumented) things it affects (some of wh…

Settings > Notifications > Notification Content > Show: "Name Only" or "No Name or Content" I've had this enabled to prevent sensitive messages from appearing in full whilst showin…

Going to take a guess the author is not a Spanish speaker :p

The licenses (from major foundries/vendors) are indeed usually quite restrictive; however, the hard part has always been enforcing them. It's not surprising to me that Google hasn'…

> You seem to think that the interface obliges a program into a certain performance pattern. I think all software (or at least, any text editor) regardless of interface type should…

Personally, I don't buy into this argument. I think having a globally shared buffer state, etc. is an antifeature. Plus, there's no reason that starting a TUI program should be tha…

Not using Emacs.app because you aren't on macOS, or using some other build/setup? If the latter, I'm curious.

Tangential, but I really wish there would be a performance renaissance with Emacs. Native-comp was a good step forward, but Emacs is still so much slower than Neovim, even in the c…

I think it's purely a pricing & supply chain thing. Certain iPads have M-series chips in them, now certain MacBooks have A-series chips in them. Also, the chip used has no impact o…

The Developer Transition Kit (DTK) ran on the A12Z chip. I don't think this should be interpreted as a signal of iOS/macOS unification.

For a native macOS app, there is also Monodraw [1], which is great. [1] https://monodraw.helftone.com

There is a setting as of iOS 26 under "Privacy & Security > Wired Accessories" in which you can make data connections always prompt for access. Not that there haven't been bypasses…

Not bad, but different DAWs cater to different workflows. To me (and most), Bitwig feels much more optimized for creating electronic music than recording guitar or drums. It wouldn…

For me: pro & creative apps. GIMP/Inkscape will never replace Photoshop/Illustrator/Affinity. Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools, etc. are not available on Linux and with the exception of R…

The times of browsers having weirdly different rendering behavior are mostly gone, in my experience. I'm sure ~98% of Electron apps that expect Chromium would render just fine/same…

This guy has a GitHub account [1] full of AI slop fake bug reports—this can be ignored. [1] https://github.com/JGoyd

> I also don't want to make the software network dependent in any way. As a user of Monodraw in an airgapped environment: thank you!

Monodraw is great. If I could change one thing, I would make it more expensive. $10 feels like a steal, given the use I've gotten out of it.

Is it still not possible to use JUCE for free/open-source without the pesky "Made with JUCE" popup? Or did they remove that?

I don't think anyone is suggesting that the generated Rust is nicer than the original C. It is auto-generated with the purpose of maintaining the exact same semantics as the C code…

Stubborn complaint (and maybe a hot take): I dislike CLIs that try to be overly pretty. I don't receive any tangible benefit as the user from the "fancy" (their words) help output.…

I can't believe it's even legal to sell those. That seems simply insane.
