There’s a lot to unpack here but if you want acceleration to work better in a VM you should use Parallels instead. VMware on mac has been in life support only mode for years and has not kept up in this area. You are also handicapping performance using the VM at all. M1 is well supported by Asahi at this point and even has native 3D acceleration. Not saying your lived experience isn’t real but the issue you experienced reflects a lot more on the state of mac virtualization and Vmware than linux.

No, macOS has changed menus using the Option key since it was known as System.

Saving a couple million people in the pandemic wasn’t validation enough?

A fix for the leaks would be great. I’m rebooting them way too often when iterating.

Yes I really hope the memory storage just leads to a delay and not a cancellation.

To be fair that's one more corner than Tahoe.

Text editor developers get bored too!

Yeah Kimi-K2.5 is the first open weights model that actually feels competitive with the closed models, and I've tried a lot of them now.

Yes but it’s barely usable. I ended up making my own Dockerfile and a bash script to just ‘docker run’ my setup itself, and as a bonus you don’t need Docker Desktop. I might open source it at some point but honestly it’s pretty trivial to just append a couple of volume mount flags and env vars to your docker run and have exactly what you want included.

Yeah, except there aren't even principles at play here. For example, streamline all regulatory approvals, oh except for disfavored groups: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/12/speed-act-passes...

Four years soon?

No, microinverters are still a thing (Enphase is a popular brand) and they do then get connected in parallel.

The browser extension native app integrations also communicate via stdin/stdout. It’s still out there!

It’s a userspace USB HID driver in rust, which is honestly more interesting/applicable to me than a kernel driver, which is what I thought it meant from the title.

This kind of conspiracy theory comes up a lot on here. Most of these products have the option to allow or deny that and contrary to the opinions here those policies are then followed. This whole episode is news because it violates that.

Results quality is probably language-dependent. I was able to use Junie to do a bunch of Java/Kotlin tasks and it worked very well.

Yes, never self host Wordpress if you value your sanity. Even if it’s not the first hour it will eventually happen when you forget a patch.

What? It has more than 300M users.

I think it's relevant that Transmit is a local native app. There's no hosted app exposed to the internet to hack here. Google made one lengthy process that doesn't fit this use case.

This is absolutely a thing in 2024. Or less drastically the many examples of a development team being cut, further development being sporadic and bug prone, and a detached and patronizing ticket system for support instituted.

> now it's common to see people inviting government control of the internet for adults. I don't get it.

Sockpuppets and useful idiots in equal measure.

From a theoretical perspective, sure, but the product Dropbox sells is either a website or an app each end user gets that adds local sync and some other useful sharing features. They certainly don’t intend it as a centralized system that people expose over the network in a bespoke way, and I can fully sympathize with why they’d tell this user that’s not something they want to support.

> everyone else had access to an SMB share where dropbox actually ran

What the...? It honestly does sound like you were holding it wrong.

I’m saddened the sarcasm flew over the heads here. A disappointing reflection of the number of companies that really do act like that now, which was my point.

Layoff. They were costing the company money for irrelevant problems.

Agreed. Also often the gap between what people will pay for a hobby project and what money is being made at a tech company by the people who have the hobby is vast. Sometimes there are contractual restrictions on taking money from other jobs simultaneously that complicate it.

It's not. And you can't add any more.

I like my iPhone, and want to be able to use Kagi as my search engine. Why can't I?

The funny thing about legislation is that you're responsible for the unintended consequences of your laws too.
