I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

I don’t really have an answer for you here, but isn’t having the expiry pointless now if you’re going to honour an elapsed token?

The argument has become “if price X mins ago is equal to price now, honour it” - so it could have expired 10 mins ago, or 10 days ago, etc. and you’d still be honouring it, right?

So, why have an expiry at all in this scenario? The question should become, if we’re going to honour it after 5 mins, will we honour it at 10 mins? 100 days? Which? A cut off needs to be defined.

I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.

Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).

The wifi worked fine for me on Fedora Asahi, macbook air m2.

I haven’t checked, I don’t tend to plug it in to a 2nd screen.

Yeah, so I thought I’d be blowing away macOS entirely, but it didn’t (it’s a nice fall back option to have if anything goes wrong)

I…don’t know. Been on charge this whole time.

Good point. I should probably do that now before I lose my muscle memory!

If I’m reading this correctly (it kinda lumps all of the M2’s together, then breaks them down by device): https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support it does look like it’s still a work in progress unfortunately.

Something which I didn’t know/expect is that it’s a dual-boot setup. I kinda thought I’d be blowing away my macOS installation, but it’s not. It shrinks down the macOS partition and creates its own, so you can jump back into macOS at boot (long press power button when turning on).

Trackpad is a bit ‘quick’ but I guess I’m comparing that to macOS. Keyboard seems fine, need to get used to using ctrl instead of super for copy-pasta, etc (but I’ve made that transition once before I guess!). Audio is working via bluetooth, but speakers it’s a no-go.

It’s a bit confusing. Not in the default repos. Added rpmfusion repos as per the vlc site, same thing. Had to add it from the flatpak store in the end.

So far, no speakers. Bluetooth working for audio for just now, which I’m fine with. What I’m struggling with is the lack of VLC…that’s not something I expected.

You went with Excel files as your database??? Are you Satan?

I think people get worried about concepts like pre-crime with this.
