most likely running it on nix
The current nostr drama sheds more light on the fact that freedom has a cost… and it’s not about money.
We’re screwed…
If it’s not x86 or ARM artichtecture, it’s almost impossible. The software industry struggles supporting just two architectures, imagine introducing a thrid one.
Next level hardware will have to rely on either of them, and I can’t see x86 being as efficient as ARM anytime soon, or ever.
May consider next year or when they remove "your mileage may vary" in their documentation
Looks like Microsoft SQ might be the best alternative so far…
Wondering if it runs linux…
In a laptop, you literally get all the best in terms of efficiency…despite less power dissipation, less heat and no fan noise, everything is snappy all day long no matter how many windows or tabs opened… and they have all day batteries.
Asahi would make sense, really… even better yet, NixOS can use all of its awesomeness and add more on top of it.
Thing is, running Linux on Apple Silicon is still considered alpha to this day. There is no way I will go back to the drivers hell I went through when I was a student. That was fun back then, but I didn’t have dad duties at the time.
Literally the reason why I am still just considering the switch and not actually doing it… pretty sure it won’t happen. I will remain trapped in the "walled garden" cause their hardware competition is not even close.
Pretty much yeah… try a powerful one for a week and you won’t be able to go back.
Well, if I ditch my iPhone, the macs will follow, as I am already a heavy Linux user for everything that doesn’t have a keyboard attached to it.
I literally destroyed my phone a month ago in a karting accident. Went mobile-less for the remaining of the evening. Had to go the grocery before going home somehow… had no idea which one might be open at 11PM.
Felt weird to knock on every grocery door just to figure out which one was opened. Turns out none of them was, so I spent almost an hour searching for one, and upped my carbon footprint in the process.
Literally felt like the 90’s, without all the awesomeness that comes with it, such as youth.
To my knowledge, all Dells run on x86 CPUs… which makes sense, but feels like going back to stone age after getting used to Apple Silicon.
I’d of course run Linux, but as I said, it has to run on efficient hardware first.
Tradeoffs so far are speed, energy consumption, heat dissipation, noise, build quality and I am probably forgetting more.
Apple’s walled garden isn’t the software, as many suggest… it is the quality of their hardware that’s hard to overcome.
Maybe android phones make sense, but laptops lag behind big time since Apple Silicon.
Today, I am ashamed of owning many Apple products, despite them being so well built…
Might literally consider spending thousands of dollars and countless hours to switch to freedom enabling hardware.
What’s the alternative for Apple Silicon laptops, guys?
the effectiveness of that nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m tweet is through the roof
looks like all those beautiful altcoins showcasing their teams on their website will have a hard time with the SEC…
makes life easier when it comes to explaining why bitcoin doesn’t belong in the same category
My gf is thinking about participating next year with our 6yo in a local movement about young entrepreneurs.
Instead of selling stuff on the street, I hope it will turn out to be about services for zaps on nostr...
