MkLinux and the pimped-out Apple Workgroup Server 9150

Cameron Kaiser's articles are always a right treat, and this one's no different. It's about running MkLinux on the Apple Workgroup Server, the regular Mac rebadged into a server product and predecessor to Apple's first real server product, the Apple Network Server running AIX. The Workgroup Servers were originally marketed with A

Screen recording on macOS: Safari navigates to Vivaldi.com and downloads Vivaldi Browser, which is then installed. Vivaldi opens for the first time, the user signs in, sets it as the default browser, and imports browser data from Safari in seconds.

I am pretty stoked about the upcoming redesigned iPad Mini. The OLED screen and the rumoured chip update: A20 Pro with 12 GB RAM could make it a worthwhile upgrade to my iPad Pro M2.

The estimated single core performance of the A20 Pro will improve around 60% over the M2, making it a worthy upgrade for my music applications.

Let's hope Apple won't raise the prices of the Mini again.

Apple's iOS 27 update will allow #AI to write texts for users as well as summarize texts for them. AI will also be able to write and send emails through the text chain, as well as a number of other things.

According to #Apple's website:

In Messages (text) and Mail (email), "Siri AI can match your writing style, punctuation, and tone — so you sound like you."

please boost this post, i don't want to use it without a proper 4 key!

EveryMac celebrates 30th birthday

EveryMac turned 30.

On July 2, 1996, EveryMac.com launched.

Thirty years is a long time -- and a great deal has changed since then -- but what has not changed is that EveryMac.com has been there to provide you with detailed info on every Mac from the original 128k to the current line. Thank you very much for your support through the years.

#NeXT / #Apple had the right idea.

* User homes are in /Users

* Each app is in /Applications and looks like a regular file but is actually a folder (i.e. you can cd into it and examine the contents)

* The operating system is in /System

* Files shared among apps (except files that come with the OS), including configuration files, are in /Library

* Static libraries, debug info, C headers, OS API reference docs, etc go in /Developer

Apple internals: Swift in the kernel

Apple's Swift has become the de-facto language for Apple's own developers for a while now, and it seems that with the new operating system releases from the company unveiled during WWDC, Switch is now also being used in the kernel.

Naturally I dropped what I was doing and went grepping through the iOS 27 kernelcache. Alas, nothing came of it. All is not lost tho

Just read that #MacOS #Tahoe is the last one that will support Intel-based #macs, and it only supports some 2019-2020 models.

So that means that #Apple is targeting six or maybe seven years of hardware support.

Sorry, I usually really value your opinions on stuff, as you tend to run contrary to the so-pragmatic-they'd-pimp-their-own-mothers attitude that is far too prevalent in (F)OSS, but hard disagree.

There's a big difference between knocking someone for using a MacBook and knocking someone for using an LLM.

Using a MacBook harms the user in ways that are somewhat debatable. Its harm outside of the user is very negligible and even more debatable.

Using LLMs harms us all. I don't doubt that there are valid and ethical applications for LLMs in many sectors, but you don't build a giant baby shredder on top of an indigenous burial ground and then suddenly pivot to saying, "But wait, it can process potatoes, too!"

If we're not talking about the theft of human creativity, the theft of potable water, the theft of human labor and wages, the promotion of über-fascist plutocrats, and all of the other horrendous harms associated with LLMs, then we're not talking about LLMs. We're engaging in some kind of fantasy roleplay.

Respectfully,

While it was surely unintentional, your reply is quite similar to the cruelty of traditional #FreeSoftware rhetoric — wherein we shunned people for *using* #Apple & #Microsoft. Such users deserve sympathy and help toward more software freedom.

Same goes for #LLM-backed generative #AI users.

Our kids don’t have their own iPads and instead borrow mine and my wife's iPad. That means those child protection features won’t work for us.
