I'll gladly sell my soul first thing every morning in exchange for a laptop that lasts longer than two hours on battery, wifi/audio/webcam work after waking from sleep, and not needing to learn a complexity fractal of CLI commands to do basic things.

They are called Chromebooks. It can sometimes be difficult for some people to find that toggle switch that enables Debian, but I can assure you, no arcane CLI commands are involved.

EDIT: Any Chromebook using a Panther Lake chip, or an upcoming Googlebook ARM, can get you there.


> I don't get how folks who hyperventilate about Trump being a threat to democracy can look at stuff like this and cheer.

It really stretches my imagination to the limit to see how your suspicion carries this move all the way to being comparable to what Trump has been doing.


AdGuard as well.

I use Dark Reader on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, but I've found Noir to be better on Safari.

Are you exaggerating? I tried the latest beta about a month ago and experienced multiple bugs within half an hour. Had to downgrade back to 26.

I concur with gekoxyz - I've been using the iOS and macOS 27 developer betas since about beta 3 on my personal devices, and had actually forgotten to a large extent that I was running beta software. It's been excellent - a marked difference to the 26 releases.

No, not exaggerating at all, but I'm not a power user of the phone. I just do really simple stuff, and I didn't find new bugs, just old ones. But obviously that's my experience... The most noticeable stuff was the app launch speed.

Interesting. Bugs on mine were from using core apps, IIRC. I wonder if bugs manifest on some iPhone hardware versions? Or maybe even which iOS version the phone was upgrade from?

I too feel the keyboard is broken but I haven't identified exactly what is broken about it.

its when you type it wrong two times, and then slowly type it. Then it works.

*Privatized profit. The ~210mil € of public funding wasn't private. It is now I guess, lol.

EDIT: Title has been updated so my comment seems out of context.


Are the Rust devs not expanding the surface area of safe Rust over time? Just curious.


Sort of but also no. Intrusive lists are not likely to ever be possible in safe code, almost by definition.


gpt-oss is about a year older than qwen 3.8 27b


Nice additions to go.

I like to imagine that one day we'll have a language that launched with all the features languages eventually add. The whole ecosystem of packages would be built on them instead of a legacy of more primitive language feature sets.


I don’t think launching Go today would have been better than 15 years ago.

Standard ML is a perfect programming language from the 90s. It unfortunately does not have a great eco system of packages.


I mean one thing frontier models are really good at is porting code with pretty low level of supervision. Provided there are enough fans porting packages from other ecosystems should not be a big challenge.


> I like to imagine that one day we'll have a language that launched with all the features languages eventually add.

Don't most languages on the heap of languages nobody uses fulfill that?


No thanks. Reduced feature-set is the appeal.
