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 thought it was a questionable choice for Zig and feel

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 from forensics, etc) is to return it to BFU by shutting it of

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, but it's hard to find them in hobbyist price r

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 which are bugs :/), but I don't believe it has any

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't built any guardrails around this. After all

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 that slow. Either way, this only addresses startup

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 case of launching and immediately quitting, with no config:

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 on the viability of merging macOS and iOS anyway.

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 for this before, but perhaps still of

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't be my first choice for the latter workflow, where I&

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 REAPER, the alternatives are awful. And ev

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 under WebKit as well.

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, with no regard to safety, best practices, etc.—of cou

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'd much rather simple plain text outpu

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

No. This is a myth, and while it does force you to enter your password instead of using biometrics on the next unlock, it is not the same as returning to BFU.

They have a long history of encrypting firmware. iBoot just stopped being decrypted recently with the launch of PCC, and prior to iOS 10 the kernel was encrypted too. The operating theory is that higher management at Apple sees this as a la
