This whole thing is extremely cringe. There isn’t any other way to put it. Trump. His executive order. The compliance. It’s all cringe.

Ugh. I’m completely convinced computer technology peaked 8 years ago and every further step has been descent to hell.

The shit that goes on today even makes me regret having studied computer science

You’ve heard it several times, now, but once again: Asahi works really well for what it is, but it’s definitely a compromised experience. For example, on my M1 Macbook Air I cannot plug in a USB-C dongle and then plug in an external monitor. The driver support just isn’t there. I think if I had an Macbook Pro with a built-in HDMI port I would be able to use that… but alas, I do not.

If you want to use macOS and then use Linux on the side now and again in a dual boot setup, sure. If you want to use 100% Linux on your computer… there are better supported options.

Here is a table of supported features but it isn’t really the full picture, because it doesn’t give you a clear view of things like putting the computer on standby consumes more idle power than it does with macOS, or drivers for hardware video decoding don’t exist, so all video is software decoded. The processors can do it really well, actually, but obviously it’s more power-efficient when it’s done by dedicated hardware.

beginning to think that i should write a bot to automate job applications to ai companies and send dozens a day

I’m betting high odds he will force the federal government to buy them under the guise of a green EV transition. With trump’s full blessing, of course.
