Just added Rocky Linux 10 (STG) to the Vagrant box collection for ARM64 systems. Have fun on your Mac, Devs! Happy coding!

I had been planning to buy (yet another) #Mac (this time, a #Mini.) But enough with feeding Tim and friends’ grotesque appetite for 💰 (and putting up with high charges for low quality, if shiny, software).

I am going to install a lightweight #Linux desktop (any recommendations?) on my 2011 #MacBook #Air and see how far I can get interoperating with all my data currently held hostage in the #Apple #monoculture. Will report my findings here.

Apple computers are reliable, convenient, they look good and they have an incredible battery runtime. So there are some reasons why one would use an Apple computer.

In her latest video, Naomi Brockwell explains, why using an Apple computer the way it comes out of the box might not be the best idea. And she explains in an enduser friendly way what can be done do make an Apple computer more privacy friendly. Some points may sound paranoid to people who are just "using" their computer, but they are definitely worth considering. And we should always keep in mind that Apple might not be the worst company spying on their users, but they are doing it.

If you are an occasional #Signal user on your iPhone, you might want to check the app now.

#Apple seems to have further tightened the #iOS strangulation of resources to rarely used apps, so much so that Signal cannot even provide a notification there is a message waiting.

A number of friends -- even a professor of computer science at Cambridge of my acquaintance 🫣 -- have entirely missed important messages from me due to this.

The @EUCommission has ordered Apple to fix this under the #DMA 👏🏻

If you're running $CORP, you might not have noticed yet that you're a hostage, or you're one with Stockholm syndrome, but definitely part of the problem, and a liability to others.

Apple Devices & The Reliability Question: A 20+ Year User Retrospective

This week’s exciting instalment of Security Vulnerabilities that would be deterministically mitigated by #CHERI is a multi-part series sponsored by #Apple.

Media decoders are trivial to sandbox on a CHERI system (around four lines of code). They take an input buffer and produce an output. They can run with write access to that output buffer and nothing else. An attacker who gains arbitrary-code execution in an image decoder, for example, gains the ability to write an image to the output buffer: exactly the same rights that someone who can substitute a different image file has already.

Xtool: cross-platform Xcode replacement for Linux, Windows, and macOS

A few months ago I shared my Swift SDK for Darwin, which allows you to build iOS Swift Packages on Linux, amongst other things. I mentioned that a lot of work still needed to be done, such as handling codesigning, packaging, and bundling.

I'm super excited to share that we've finally reached the poin

Even John Siracusa thinks Tim Cook should step down

John Siracusa, one third of the excellent ATP podcast, developer of several niche Mac utilities, and author of some of the best operating system reviews of all time, has called for Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, to step down. Now, countless people call for Tim Cook to stand down all the time, but when someone like Siracusa, an ardent Mac user

@wolf480pl @cas it's easy...

The reasons one can despise something and the reason one appreciates it can be different.

I.e. I can appreciate #macOS for it's #accessibility right from the #installer but I can #despise it for #Apple not selling it as a commercial #Unix distro for a #subscription

Same with #bash: I can appreciate it for being better than #sh (unix-#shell) , #tcsh or #csh but I despise it for not having modernized like #fish.

• And with fish I appreciate it but I despise it's not the default #shell for any #Linux distro I can use in #production.

It's called having "mixed feelings" or rather #NuancedOpinion.

• Kinda like how every #skiddie and #TechIlliterate can use #Windows but that Windows is shit and the only reason they can is because they got groomed into being #consoomers that accept #enshittification as a fact of life.

Which of these smartphone OSes do you think is more secure currently? For whatever definition of "secure" feels right to you.

Some options have multiple variants, please vote based on the most secure variant you know of.

Siri has added some shortcuts for requesting timers and setting alarms. So if you want to steep a green tea, you can say simply "3 minutes". If you want set an alarm, just "6 AM". Or if you want to re-steep your tea a little longer the second time, you can say only "3:30" and wonder what your tea gets oversteeped until you wake up at 3:30 the next morning and find out.

I am often criticising Apple for what they are doing, how they are spying at their users or for their pricing policy. But in this case, they have done something really good. Warning victims of (governmental?) spyware attacks deserves credit!

"… would love to switch to another platform but whenever I try KDE or GNOME my experience is always ‘not quite as bad as Windows’, …"

For more than two decades, I was a huge fan of Apple's OS. Yosemite was the killer, I switched to PC-BSD.

Now, preparing to switch from FreeBSD to Linux:

– whilst I do miss the excellent aspects of Mac OS X, the worst aspects are so bad that I'll never switch back

– I can barely tolerate Microsoft's desktop environment, and that's not because I'm anti-Microsoft

– KDE Plasma ticks more boxes than any other DE.

YMMV :-)

I have a broken iPad 7th gen, one of the 10.2" screens. I don't want to get it working again... I want to harvest the screen and connect it to a controller board for HDMI/VGA purposes.

*Repeat: I do not want to fix the iPad.*

I see controller boards for the smaller 9.7" screen, but does anyone have a lead on a similar board for the larger 10.2" screen?
