Typed Assembly Language—fascinating. But since the software is "All rights reserved," I don't know if it can be used beyond personal use.

True, it was a dead end perhaps.

Here's a piece on writing portable ARM64 assembly: https://ariadne.space/2023/04/12/writing-portable-arm-assemb...

Thanks for the link, bookmarking. I should note ymawky's main portability issues are unfortunately at the syscall layer rather than the asm layer. proc_info() and getdirentries64() are pretty Darwin-specific, so making it portable would require reworking that whole area rather than adjusting register/calling conventions.

Replace x.com with nitter.poast.org.

Thanks for the tip! I shall give it a try :)

This forum becoming very intolerant to different points of view as of late, just like X, sigh. :(

Go to YouTube and search for "chicago weekend violence".

Lon Seidman (lon.tv on YouTube) has been covering this closely, and the FCC is aware: https://youtu.be/0YmeEp_N6pY

The OpenBSD project is based in Calgary, btw.

I am hopeful that the US doesn’t attempt to force its sanctions enforcement upon “allies” as it has in other instances.

But both Windows and Mac OS are developed largely in the US.

Could Trump unintentionally bring about the year of the Linux desktop?

Isn't Linux widely adopted in China already?

From what I understand, only on the server level (just like the West). Desktops are still largely Windows or Mac.

Linus lives in the US.

As someone living in rural Nevada and served by Dollar General and Family Dollar stores, I agree. I don't see what problems out here would be solved by local cloud computing resources. The snippet provided doesn't go into detail.

Barry Kauler is brilliant, but as he's the main driver behind the project, I worry that the bus factor for EasyOS is 1.

Lon Seidman just reviewed a $180 HP laptop from Walmart. Intel N150 processor, can run Linux and has upgradable RAM and storage:

But then, 2 min into the video they upgrade to 16G RAM and a 1TB SSD before going on to check the perfs. That's a testament to me of how usable they think the laptop is in its sold state.

Looks like the SSD is about $80 on Amazon.com and the RAM maybe $30+, so that's already a significant fraction of the device's original price.

Still reasonably affordable, though. But it's not under $200.
