M1 is not listed at this URL for me?
This is to see what the distro is like, not to see if it’s stable on apple silicon

What a depressing thing to read on _hacker_ news of all places You might want to read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture
HN isn't reddit, for better and for worse. This is the "Orange Site" that gave us Sam Altman, defends monopolies and shits out thousands of net-negative SaaS startups that leech off Open Source software. Manufacture of depression is one of YC's byproducts that everyone loves to ignore while berating Flock and 9 Mothers like they spontaneously popped into existence.
Your peers on this website are not principled, fun-loving Freenode/Libera geeks. HN is the Linkdin of underground social networking.

> Kill the capitalist in your head. Who referenced capitalism? And do anarchists, socialists, communists, et al., never question the usefulness of a thing either?
The difference is those groups promote culture for culture's sake. Capitalism does not. Culture is only promoted if there is profit to be made off promoting it. As such what culture exists is severely inorganic and dependent on market forces rather than being some proxy of the actual ideaspace of the community.

#55Sad that we'll probably never be able to run this on M1/M-series iPads.
So sad to me how combative Apple has been towards open source software over the years. The peak of the jailbreak era was imo peak mobile development too. So much innovation and rapid iteration. Anything seemed possible and anything really was possible if you put your mind to it and built the thing. Pretty much any good idea apple integrated into ios has been shamelessly copied without attribute from that crucible of…
I am sure government can regulate such things like they can force Apple to open up their walled garden.

My hopes are high that the EU will be able to do this some day (unless it's fully enshittified first -- see chat control, age verification etc.)

It would be refreshing if anyone in government cared about such things.

Which governments, though? The US loves these "NOBUS" companies, enforcing Google and Apple's walled garden is part of their agenda.
The hardline opposition like China, Russia and North Korea all have contingency ecosystems they'd rather promote than force Apple to comply with an arbitrary featureset. The EU, for all the good it has done, will have to contend with the US refusing to extend FVEY intelligence to states that resist cooperation.

#59How usable is Haiku OS in practice?
It's a delight to use, if a little esoteric at first. After the experiment phase, the software ecosystem comes up fairly limited. But I recommend visiting.
