A work, by being a work, makes space for that spaciousness. "To make space for" means here especially to liberate the free space of the open region and to establish it in its structure. This installing occurs through the errecting mentioned earlier. The work as work sets up a world. The work holds open the open region of the world. But the setting up of a world is only the first essential feature in the work-being to be referred to here."

I generally like the OP's posts, but I really don't buy their argument. If anything, the nintendo switch winning the last generation is a great example of how hardware isn't always that important, the game library essentially is what makes a console win, and in as much as the hardware enables the breadth of the library, that's all that matters.

Like the steam deck, I don't know who other than power users who will buy it. I love the openness they will bring to the market, but that doesn't mean they will win.

I've actually just recently started using my Quest 3 again through virtual desktop. I found the sharpening feature to actually make text look good enough that I'm able to work in it for hours uninterrupted, mostly writing papers and coding.

I'm super excited for this launch and for all the crazy open source builds, mods, and fun that are going to come from an open VR system (or at least that's my hope).

Then i guess you can't publish apps? One of those issues where i should be "writing to my congressman" or whatever I guess. the problem is real and people like you are being obtuse, unwilling to find a solution or a compromise. Something as simple as number of installs is an invasion of privacy? how? it's a number, you increment a counter when someone hits download, that's it.

Yeah, if google gets to have rules over what happens by apps that have their seal of approval. that's how seals of approvals work. you're not entitled to these things. you don't have the right to publish to the android platform, if Google, wary of anti-trust suits allows a 3rd party app store, it can institute reasonable requirements.

If an appstore is willingly hosting malware, should Google still provide their seal of approval? That was supposed to be rhetoric, but I wouldn't be surprised if you told me that they should.

This is willful ignorance, I only hope you educate yourself on the harms caused by malware and malicious actors and consider taking a practical approach to finding solutions instead of dying on every single hill.

The situation between download and upload speeds isn’t likely to be much different, these days.

Speed tests (e.g. https://www.speedtest.net/) may let you choose a location to measure to. If I measure with https://www.speedtest.net/ to Planet Networks, Inc. in Newark, NJ, USA, it slowly climbs to 87Mbps/56Mbps. Trouble is, at greater distances these numbers are basically always unrealistic—you can’t actually reach them in normal usage.

Various hosts give you big files you can download to test them, which is often a more realistic measurement of what you’ll experience on the web at large. https://nj-us-ping.vultr.com/vultr.com.100MB.bin, for example, is from roughly the same geographical place, and downloading it in Firefox or curl only really reaches 1–1.3Mbps and would take 11–12 minutes. Whereas https://bom-in-ping.vultr.com/vultr.com.100MB.bin (Mumbai; I’m in Hyderabad) happily saturates my 100Mbps link and completes in nine seconds.

For the longest time I had been using GPT-5 Pro and Deep Research. Then I tried Gemini's 2.5 Pro Deep Research. And boy oh boy is Gemini superior. The results of Gemini go deep, are thoughtful and make sense. GPT-5's results feel like vomiting a lot of text that looks interesting on the surface, but has no real depth.

I don't know what has happened, is GPT-5's Deep Research badly prompted? Or is Gemini's extensive search across hundreds of sources giving it the edge?

> Are they admitting that their app sandboxing is so weak that a malicious app can exfil data from other unaffiliated apps?

It's not news, both iOS and Android sandboxing are Swiss cheese compared to a browser.

People should only install apps from trusted publishers (and not everything from the store is trusted as the store just gors very basic checks)

This is not what "fungibility" means in terms of accounting & balancing:

In fact, Bitcoin are fungible from a regulatory perspective: As every one USD is worth as another USD, every Bitcoin has same value as another Bitcoin and they are fully intechangeable without any change of value on both sides of the transaction.

Thats the reason why there are NFT - these are not fungible in that sense, as they are not interchangeable one by one, since one 1 NFT may have another value than the next NFT.

The purpose has never been to protect children; it's just a convenient motivation against which nobody would dare to object, just like mandating age restriction for porn sites is nothing more than an excuse to pushing further for elimination of anonymity, which started with porn sites exactly because nobody would dare exposing themselves for objecting to it. As I already wrote elsewhere, this happens while thousands of children are murdered in various wars, to their complete silence because going anywhere beyond the usual empty public condemnation followed by nothing would put them against very powerful foreign governments.

So your father: 1. Downloaded a weird file from a stranger

2. Went to the settings and about pyone sceeen

3. Tapped the thing 5 times to activate developer mode

4. Activated installing from third party sources despite the warning there

5. Installed the APK

May I suggest the problem is not that this is possible, but a lack of education? If your father is the type that would jump into the bathtub with a toaster because someone on whatsapp told them to do so, I am afraid it is not the existence of toasters that is the issue.

"Nuclear Safety is extremely risk averse "

That list of incidents is pretty long, though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_and_radiation_accident...

So like I said, maybe the Linear No Threshold Model is wrong(I will have a look into the video as well). But it was presented here as something obviously flawed to get rid of .. while a short dive into it, showed it is still debated among the experts. Sp that approach from some people also does seem ideological motivated and not fact based to me, not just the anti nuclear crowd.

Indeed, but if we reach that point then we've probably got AGI, so not really much to worry about. Is there a point where AI can replace entire software dev teams, but nothing else? ie not quite AGI, seems unlikely, if you ask a product manager, they'd say Impossible! I look forward to the singularity, but I don't think this is it sadly. LLM's are a neat tool, and dev will probably change but I think it's wishful thinking on the part of business folk. the other argument is that LLM's will actually increase the software dev work, cause things that weren't possible now are which is something I find interesting.

The other thing I've been thinking is that most corporates now are mainly software (so it's been said), if thats the case and software becomes cheaper the barrier to entry to compete with corporates lowers, they become ripe for disruption. Insurance comes to mind, same with banking, probably others, search? its already disrupted, new industries will probably arise to - data validation, for example, is going to be an issue in the age of AI. The idea that making web sites for a living for the next century was probably always a very wishful way of thinking, but the idea that software development will disappear is also naive imho. However it's yet to be proved that software dev is cheaper with AI.

Very suspiciously, almost like someone working with preventing money laundering noticed and sent them a letter reminding them about 18 U.S. Code §1956, which makes it a crime to assist in obfuscating the origin of proceeds from crime.

If you know about anyone using Monero for that purpose, you can't use Monero, since obfuscating the origin of transactions is something you do as a condition of participating in Monero (either as a miner or through paying transaction fees).

I just want to preface that I am not in support of Apple or Google in their closed ecosystem.

I was specifically referring to you saying "Switzerland is implementing a digital ID[1]. It will be made available to the most common devices and is open source. However Google and Apple can just remove it, what then?"

It seemed like you were saying that because it is open source, it will be removed. I simply disagreed with that. Plenty of opensource software exists in the app store.

I'm not disagreeing that they have the ability to remove software from their app stores. They have done that before as you mention. That is a fact.

I used Lovable to make a webapp that tells you whether to pay down debt (student loan, credit card debt) or invest in stocks or 401K or REITs. I had an Excel model for this and uploaded this to Lovable and spent some time iterating on the UI.

Do test it out, I'd love to get any feedback.

I was in that boat too but with NAFLD and now liver fibrosis despite not eating all that much sugar and having a BMI that is high but partially due to muscle I finally gave in to see if semaglutide will help.

Only on week 3 but it's been a rollercoaster. It seems to have quite a broad spectrum of effects. I'm still not sure I'll be able to stay on it but losing 10 pounds is a nice counterpoint to the side-effects.

I am very much a PC gamer turned couch gamer. I have a capable PC sitting next to my Xbox Series X. The user experience is worse, as everytime I turn it on soemthing needs updating, I cannot control all of Windows through my gamepad. This ticks a lot of boxes for me. Might start witht the Controller first.

> Seriously though, can anyone tell me why the fuck banking apps try so hard to find any possible excuse to not run on customised devices?

As an early cyanogen mod adopter I really don’t want to lose ability to side load etc. but to answer your question this is probably for the lowest common denominators safety. Anecdotal example - a scammer tricked my parents into sideloading an apk which automatically forwarded all sms messages to the said scammer. This lead to 2FA code from bank go through and allowed them to perform some transactions. There were many red flags during this ‘call from a bank’ and I’d say some blame lies on my parents here, I guess this is the only way to lock down bad actors? I am not entirely sure it is.

I personally don’t agree with the interpretation of the first amendment that places heckling, i.e. intentionally making it difficult for a person to perform a task using verbal distraction tactics, as free speech.

To me, free speech protections prevent rulers from closing off regions of ideology space, because they usually do so in their own self interest so we can’t trust them to do it even in cases when it is clearly for the true long term benefit of the group, which is why it is forbidden for them to forbid “speech”.

I also don’t believe in pornography as protected speech. I’m an atheist, I’m not a conservative, and I’m not against pornography. I don’t support pornography being made illegal. The protected speech argument for it is just stupid. And when you base reasonable practices on stupid legal arguments, you end up having… well, for example, abortion rights getting randomly rolled back by the court.

Yes, in a perfect utopia world, I agree with you that the hiding-foreigner purge guys would also be good at clerical type work. However, from what I’ve seen of humans, they can usually do one kind of thing or the other, not both. Like, guys who like to chase people and knock them down usually don’t like to perform detailed forgery analysis. To expect this is to expect ICE to be staffed by people with an uncommon trait combination. Have you had different experiences? If we had the FBI doing this, then yes the FBI can hire guys who can do both. If a massive org is spun up rapidly, then there is no way to apply the same kinds of hiring practices. I just don’t get the outrage here? Picture that happening in a movie, they hire a ton of guys who are beefy and like to throw people around, and then they rapidly train every one of them to spot fake passports and birth certificates from every state/year. That could make for an entertaining comedy plot, but would you find it realistic in a gritty drama?

Tangentially, I wonder why we haven’t seen more comparisons between ICE and the Spanish Inquisition, it feels much more accurate than the comparisons we do see (e.g. the other N word).

Yes, but only on M1 and maybe M2 devices. Doesn't work at all on M4.

Stability is an issue (as I tested it with M1 Pro throughout the years).

Not all of the hardware features are supported. For example no external monitors through the usb-c port.

Also the project seems somewhat dead, having some core developers leave the project.

I had high hopes for Asahi but currently it doesn't seem like it will ever be fully production ready for currently relevant hardware.
by seabrookmx | 2025-11-13 07:17:35+00:00
It's really not Linux though. You don't get a modern GNU userland, or even a modern bash without having to brew install a bunch of stuff. You don't get the networking capabilities. You don't get a well tested and stable ZFS implementation. And Orbstack may be great but it still has to run a VM and a Linux kernel under the hood to run all your containers.

For some, the Mac hardware or familiarity with the MacOS UI justifies these downsides. Personally, I'll take my Framework 13 with real actual Linux (Fedora workstation) every time :)

> Birth rates aren't plummeting around the world at the same time.

They are "plummeting around the world at the same time," they just didn't start plummeting everywhere at the same time.

> The labor gap is a short-term problem and can be fixed with immigration and maybe AI. Birth rates aren't plummeting around the world at the same time. By the time the birth rate becomes a problem in Africa, America would have long recovered.

Except Africa can't fill the gap for everywhere else, and if immigration is the "solution" then what do you do about Africa after it's been sucked dry of its prime labor force? Just leave all its poor elderly to die on their own?

Oddly enough semaglutide is making me crave sugar more. It might be the frequent sensation of having low blood sugar. Idk.

It does make me choose more dense meals though since I know I can't eat that much due to delayed gastric emptying. But I have to budget some room for prunes to counteract the constipation. It definitely makes you think about what you eat.

"... is not the exact same language, which isn"t really about security but about absolute control of the device.

The parallels are astounding, given that Microsoft's signing process of binaries also meanwhile depends on WHQL and the Microsoft Store. Unsigned binaries can't be installed unless you "disable security features".

My point is that it has absolutely nothing to do with actual security improvements."

I agree. It is the same type of language.

I would not put it past them. And I'm not sure I trust the yt-dlp team to implement sandboxing securely. The codebase is already full of shortcuts that lead to vulnerabilities like file extension injection.

I mean, this gives me pause:

> Both QuickJS and QuickJS-NG do not fully allow executing files from stdin, so yt-dlp will create temporary files for each EJS script execution. This can theoretically lead to time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerabilities.

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/EJS

TOCTOU from temporary files is a solved problem.

This is becoming a Tim Robinson gag. I wish you would dedicate as much time supporting American consumers and American manufacturers as you did trying to argue whatever it is you’re digging in about food spiciness or whatever. Your points were not about pasta but truly that it’s more American to not enjoy food lol.

If you must respond, please address my initial points about all the concessions you’re making about these policies. Also, how do you end up finding these random op eds? Like what do you search to find them?

The keyword you missed is 'idle'. An app should use as much Ram as needed to cache computation and network as it runs. But it shouldn't do when in the background. The Ram used here is not for accelerating the user experience. It's for the internal functioning of the managed language (Javascript) and virtual machine (Dom and browser API) because it has been packaged as a full Chrome clone running a single web app.

I'm not sure what could that even mean from consumer pov - I'm not going to buy a platform because some of my friends might want me to play a specific game with me?

The pressure to get more games on your platform has never been as low as it is today and has never been this low on Steam itself. You could spend a lifetime with the current Steam library and never feel bored.

From product pov Valve feels very comfortable and I bet they have the data to back up this move with basically unlimited war chest. If anything I feel like Valve is pressuring game developers of these major games here - not the other way around.

That's not fungibility, that's just an association issue. If someone denies doing business with you because you bought (or sold) a Trump hat, that doesn't make cash non-fungible.

Well, the reason for the replacement seems pretty obvious: they're shipping new features on the web that aren't matched by the native client, and apparently that was just too hard to update for a multibillion AI-powered behemoth. So, a wrapper it is!

You may not like that from a 'native look and feel' point of view, but the question 'what is a native Windows app these days anyway' is very much unanswerable, and you can actually implement stuff like this in a performant and offline-sensitive way.

But, yeah, by the time the resulting GPU worker process balloons up to 400MB, that pretty much goes out of the window. I'm actually sort-of impressed, in that I have no idea how I would even make that happen! But that's why I don't work at a powerhouse like Meta, I guess...

The controller looks pretty cool for sure, my biggest fear is the dpad though. I hope they go for a clicky feel like on the latest xbox controllers, and not the mushy feel you've got on the Dualshock 5 or even the 8BitDo Pro 2, which, for me, really is the only think missing from those. I'm more of a "Dpad in the top left" kind of guy, but I want it to be clicky like on the Xbox controllers :( We'll see!

Wait so how many degrees of separation do you have to be before you are ok? I mean fucking come on, this is ridiculous. DHH's blog entries are ugly, but are we really saying that valve shouldn't do business with a hardware company because they do business with one guy that says shitty things on a blog?

Any business larger than a certain size is gonna have a fan-out of hundreds if not thousands of business if you go 2 to 3 degrees of separation out. And they have to avoid any that have written mean blog posts?

I'm sure like 20-30% of open source software has contributions from assholes.

All chip manufacturers sell to military contractors and genocidal regimes. But valve should know not to do business with any chip manufacturers lol. Anyway

In the era of mobile games, hardware really isn't a thing anymore. Even AAA titles are niche IMO given the cost to play them at full settings. All that matters now are the exclusive titles. You refer to this derisively but really that's what made the nintendo switch, clearly the weakest compared to the PS5 and even the steam deck in the last generation the clear winner.
