Hector Martin Resigns From The Asahi Linux Project
Last week Hector Martin resigned from upstream maintainership of the Apple Silicon code for the Linux kernel. At the time he was still going to contribute to the Asahi Linux project's downstream kernel but in a surprise move today, he has decided to resign as project leader of Asahi Linux...

It also effects battery life quite noticeably — I get amazing battery life even with computers that are more than a decade old, maybe avoiding systemd only contributes a part of it, Void allows me to have a more minimal system overall: I can do "ps ax" and tell you what each of these processes does at nearly any time, unlike with systemd-based distros where something always keeps happening in the background.

Wasn't that Hitachi thing also originally a… ehm, regular massager? 🤭

What about psychological torture, say what if they make him watch the best interviews with RFK Jr. for a week straigh? 😈

Big Endian PowerPC machines could still be alive and kicking with Linux had Google not given up on the architecture, phasing it out in Go (you can have Go 1.10 with gccgo, but that isn't much by today's standards) and in V8 (and consequently Node.js), LLVM on PowerPC is often buggy so your mileage with Rust may vary. All in all lots of modern software simply can't be built 😩
I did a static analysis on the DeepSeek Android app
tl;dr it does aggressive device fingerprinting, root detection, has anti-tampering mechanisms, bundles native code and has dynamic code loading and execution facilities
none of which should be necessary for an app like this

You can always have Elon Musk type of assholette who lives with an Asian woman in the Switzerland, but stands against same-sex marriages in Germany 😏

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
