"ah nuts, well nothing for it, best just give ourselves willingly over to our google overlords when the time comes"

for real? you're not even gonna try?

And that has already gotten its lead maintainer into trouble over claiming the use of gender-neutral pronouns in the documentation is "political"?

And who will develop it?

Do you know where 99% of the code in Librewolf comes from?

It's okay you can just say Brave

...how? HOW?

By that definition, qemu-[architecture] is a translator. qemu-system-[architecture] is an emulator.

And it's still a worse translator than Rosetta. Because Rosetta cheats.

...the difference being? JIT transpilers still count as emulators.

I didn't say hardware accelerated virtualization on qemu was slow. In fact, it's one of the best performing hypervisors out there. When used as an emulator, however, its performance leaves something to be desired.

Qemu is an emulator designed to allow you to run software for one architecture on another, much like Rosetta does. Qemu has gained the ability to run native virtual machines using hardware virtualization, which it does astonishingly well, but its original purpose is emulation. In terms of quickness, though, more modern offerings run circles around it

Apple's x86->ARM transpiler

(It accomplishes this by "cheating" and turning on a feature only found in Apple Silicon that make concurrent memory access rules more similar to x86, but still)

Quick Emulator

(At least it was when it was written. Rosetta blows it out of the water.)

Is there a separate RecursionError in modern versions of Python? Been a couple years but I remember it just being a RuntimeError

Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping

Please tag me when/if that post gets approved/rejected. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

We are talking about sentient, possibly anthropomorphic foxes. Do you think science applies here, especially with regard to how old they typically get?

yeah, still bullshit

What the hell? His entire voter base is hardcore second-amendment absolutists!

I ask, not for the first time and almost certainly not the last: HOW THE HELL DOES THIS MAN STILL HAVE A SINGLE SOUL ON EARTH WILLING TO VOTE FOR HIM?

I would argue the point that installing in dual boot is any more complicated than a clean install, especially given the state of modern Linux installers

please do not put your actual installed system (read/write) on a flash drive. linux will let you. it will happily install to the flash drive and it will happily boot up. it will let you log in after just a few minutes. plus ten seconds every time you click something.

please don't use flash drives for anything other than installation media unless you're using a distro that's specifically designed to be installed portably and doesn't do a ton of disk I/O.
