People do it with LLMs all the time now. Just tell machine to rewrite it in another language to wash away the license.

Given the state of Asahi right now I don’t think Apple would be interested. It’s enough for some enthusiasts willing to sacrifice some things but by the time Asahi approaches function and performance parity that hardware will be commercially irrelevant. What does this even achieve in the age of license laundering with LLMs?


AI bubble has shown that if you don’t have billions of dollars for lawyers, your IP will be copied and compressed into an LLM and you won’t be able to do anything about it, regardless of license. But at least Apple won’t be able to profit from Asahi team work and BSDs won’t be able to use drivers from Asahi. So much winning.


The reasoning behind why it’s okay to release for Microsoft Windows is intellectually lazy but at least buying video games is now like buying chicken eggs - you can select how much suffering is associated with the grade of the product you buy.


What an incredibly talented developer. They’re working on GBA, GC/Wii, PS1 and SNES emulators, all at the same time, all started very recently. The developer has 400 repos on GitHub. We’re dealing with a savant, guys!


According to data from the Riksbank, only 5 per cent of shoppers said they had paid cash for their last in-store purchase in 2025, compared with 10 per cent in 2023 and 40 per cent 15 years ago.
They’re abandoning it except it’s happening anyway. Torygraph being Torygraph today.


I’m going to try it on my ThinkPad X250 this weekend. I managed to install Gentoo with a handbook printout 25 years ago. This can’t be that much harder or am I in for a rough surprise?


Before I refreshed it there were 4 flagged commits, all from September 1st. Since then there was one new LLM-assisted commit so it looks like the rate is decreasing.


Do those two commits count as “increasingly”?


Most of the software in use is feature-complete and the remaining worry is if it’s bug-free. Increasingly, the apps created with LLM assurance beg the question “who asked for this”.


Yeah, lack of GUI in is rather off-putting. They have so many cool graphics filters now but trying them out without ability to preview them is a PITA.
One thing that becomes apparent when you go through the config file is that it seems that they’re making VRR displays their primary target. This is understandable given weird refresh rates old games run at, but I’m not sure how widespread is the adoption of such displays at the moment. I have a VRR TV but my computer is mainly for work so it’s a plain 60Hz there and I don’t really see a need to upgrade yet.
NATO membership has to be ratified by all members, often through parliamentary approval. This isn’t something that everyone will agree on so it’s not something that can be given away by Trump.
