If you didn't switch already, switching from Windows to Linux might be a good idea soon too, especially with Win10 going EOL, and Win11 not only basically forcing new hardware in a lot of cases, but also being really bad as an OS atm.

Last time I thought you could install Asahi on current Macs unless Apple started blocking that and I didn't know.

peertube.wtf and lemmy.wtf are both down right now.

Nvidia recently started NVK for Turing and newer and even more recently it was made conformant going back to Maxwell, but that still doesn't give me a lot of hope for everything between Maxwell 1 (so basically just the GTX 750/750Ti for desktop Maxwell 1 cards) and Turing after driver version 580.

Also, Nouveau works for Maxwell 1 and earlier but ymmv with that stack, and it's still not like Mesa RADV and AMDGPU for Radeon cards going back to GCN1.

If it's upheld, that's the precursor to full-blown info blackouts, just cut off internet to anyone 'accused' of wrongspeak against the powers that be, which is basically everyone.

This also sounds like SOPA reborn.

This is why KVM is a good option, or even Hyper-V for Windows hosts. The only problem with KVM Is graphical support for paravirtualized drivers is basic at best with no full 3D acceleration that I know of for Windows guests; virtio-win isn't exactly the best option graphically and QXL to my knowledge is even more lacking, but one can just pass a hardware GPU through over vfio-pci for that.

Unfortunately for Mac hosts, Apple has no KVM/Hyper-V equivalent so your best option for virtualization there is Parallels.

(and it's honestly kinda stupid that Apple can't build their own KVM equivalent into the Darwin kernel which macOS is based on)

Looks like this isn't ripe for abuse in any way.... ~~sarcasm~~

You just know MS is going to find a way to abuse this 'feature' to change people's settings behind their backs in any way they see fit.

This reeks of the type of malware that used to take complete control of your PC and change settings maliciously, and even delete important files or straight-up nuke your OS install in the worst-case scenario, but made 'legitimate' somehow. Yes, MS is really stooping that low to make one of the worst types of malware an actual OS feature.

Pikachu and Buneary are going on an art date at a splatter painting place. They splattered each other a little bit in addition to the giant canvas hanging on the wall.

The bunnies started showing up during the day again, and I snapped a random pic of one.

Alright then MS, (this is hypothetical as I haven't ran Windows as my main OS in years and don't plan on going back) since you want me to trade in my hardware, how 'bout I trade in your OS instead? :p

Good thing LibreWolf and other forks exist.

No it's not, it's based on BSD, or more specifically Darwin, which is derived from BSD, so Unix-like, but not Linux.

Although, oddly, macOS is a certified UNIX OS so it can rightfully sit at the table with the SysV distros such as AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris, but it's nothing like those OSes in its nature.

Hopefully this trade war doesn't devolve into an actual war....
