Yep. Anyone know where to find more music in this style?

Uri, with all the powers you have you shall be famously remembered for bending f****** spoons. What a legacy to leave behind. Maybe in the future there is no spoon.

You got anything better?

Do you have a number for what a low level count is?

Android? Nah. I want my vanilla flavoured linux. Without biscuits.

Software for hardware components is not like maintaining a linux distro.

I don’t want to ignite programming language wars but, seriously, would it be that hard to get the current software “compatible” with a linux setup?

If it is that hard then fire the software “engineers” and hire ones who will do a better job.

Ha ha. That never gets old.

You know my XFCE is way better than the latest Windows 11 or macOS whatever.

Sure, I don’t have an instagram app that controls my desktop background but I don’t give a shit about that.

Nah. I have older netbooks (remember them?) and they are still more usable (with linux) than my old ipad.

You think with apples human resources they couldn’t write the software to get their hardware to work?

I think I have the first or second gen ipad. For some years now the OS and apps are frozen in time. I have basically some old games and the old safari browser.

The old safari is slow and, can you believe it, HN does not fully function!

Now, we all know the hardware is premium and this device would probably run linux very smoothly and the touch interface would be a dream. But we can only dream right?

WTF? Apple won’t allow us to use another OS or open software on old non-supported devices? What a waste of physical material!

What a waste of human creativity! What a waste of my money! What a waste of my time! I don’t give a shit how its enabled the masses to be able to do selfies.

This also mostly applies to android devices as well - which is another shit show.

For fucks sake - its 2023 and occasionally we have HN posts that are announcing how we are getting closer to run linux on the latest macs with the new processors. Holy shit! Even with more access and control to the apple macs we still don’t have full linux capability.

Apple has the best mathematicians to optimise for pure profit and as you can see they have done a great job. Apple 1 - Rest of the world 0.

Woz, please have have a talk with Tim (Nice but dim) and tell him the wonders that can be unlocked by allowing apple devices to run linux natively without jailbreaks or hacks. Don’t give me any shit they can’t do that by next month. Until then I can only dream.

Thank god we have surplus machines (eg thinkpads XNNN) available that show us the light of truth.

Thanks for the response. If you have any links, to where I could start exploring, then I would be grateful.

Can you recommend any mud “engines” that can be used on a modern linux system which are easy enough to get into (both for users and devs) and battle tested for security?

Yep, your homepage breaks on my imac/firefox due to webgl.

You got any links to info about those chips?
