take a look at adguard home, dnsmask or unbound. the best is to run your own infra

doom emacs with evil (vim keybindings) and org-mode is the absolute killer app.

Puh, this is very shallow. "There is a growing call for sustainable open source, non-profits, and adjacent organisations that appears to align with the very strong culture of radical anti-capitalist organising and contribution in either free or open source software projects" - where is the source for that? Not everythying that this open is "anti-capitalist", and for sure not "radical anti-capitalist". The two examples given (NixOS and Rust) are particularly bad examples.

"The ideology of free software has failed to substantially deliver freedom in consumer software" - this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what free software is about. This has been discussed a lot, and I want to remind us of the "don't contribute to open source" debate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nY_cy8zcO4

Why are there no reverse engineering projects listed? These would make the most sense actually. Or future features of MacOS, Apple hardware designs (as Apple would not be able to patent them then)

Also works with UTM.

what would you improve?

There are also Architectural Decision Records (ADRs), which might be something similar. https://adr.github.io/

cool name for an openclaw clone

you can slim it down, see https://github.com/parasew/tahoe-disenshittify/blob/main/res...

I am wondering about the RAM extensibility. The 7040 can be extended to have 128GB RAM (for example Crucial CT2K64G56C46S5) - anyone knows if the same still works?

this. I know multiple people running lenovo x200 and x210 as their main daily driver

We need laws that these megacorps have to show in an easy and understandable form which data is collected and what happens to the data. If they do fail to explain this (in 5 sentences or less) - they should pay insane fines per day. It is the only way (and solves the debt crisis of the US at the same time). It is ridiculous that we do have this situation in 2025 that we do not know which data is processed or not.

Does this give us any indication on when Apple will be ditching x86 support?

no, simplex chat is https://simplex.chat/

5 hours 20 minutes, wow

True, but some people in the process of moving to Linux depend on workflows that work on Mac only (at least until they fully moved to Linux). For me this was: Davinci Resolve (no h.264 support on Linux) and Adobe Suite - that I could continue to use. The compelling case for hackintosh is that you can dual boot it if you need to.

I would love to know more about this. Would it not be (at least theoretically) possible to hackintosh ARM, as Asahi Linux reverse engineered at least some parts of the M series?

Exactly! And even if Sequoia is the last OS to have Intel support, it will be some years before it stops receiving updates. Currently you are only missing out on "Apple Intelligence" when using Hackintosh or Intel Mac - some even think abut this as a feature rather than a bug

This is a very good idea! But how would we enforce and check this (see recent issues to enforce right to repair)? What would be the KPIs - repairability score? Apple for example is arguing against this by saying that when they repair things themselves it is more sustainable than making documentation available to external repair stores (Louis Rossmann has been talking about this for ages)

To quote Louis Rossmann: "tldr: install Librewolf and go on with your life" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8bTquKjzos

Hackintoshing supports internal GPUs (iGPU) as well (not only RX 580) - and lots of people install on their Lenovo Thinkpads or other notebooks.

ARM processors significantly differ from Apple Silicon. Apple's M series are not fully compliant with the ARM64 ISA and contain undocumented instructions. There was a discussion about that a few month ago on /r/hackintosh https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/1c9rfdz/is_hack...

To be fair - the reverse engineering has to be done for every of the M series, and the M1 is the best supported Apple SoC so far. I guess we should support the project if we want them to succeed (they live from donations).

The power savings of new computers are not relevant if compared with the energy that is needed to build them. University of Edinburgh (2016) found that by extending the lifetime of a single computer and monitor from four years to six years, approximately 190 kgCO2e of carbon emissions are avoided (I doubt anyone is using their devices even 4 years nowadays). Report is here: https://edwebcontent.ed.ac.uk/sites/default/files/atoms/file...

Luckily we have Asahi Linux. https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m3/

This is what I use them for exactly. The HFSPlus driver is three years old now, and seems to not get updated anymore. Does anyone know if it is the same one as in Linux kernel? https://github.com/acidanthera/OcBinaryData/blob/master/Driv...
