This all looks fine for developing server apps that don't need a GUI, particularly as long as 3D accelerated graphics aren't needed. You don't even need to be using/developing a 3D game or application, just using a modern GUI without too much lag now seems to require 3D acceleration.

3D acceleration is pretty well supported in VMware and sorta works well in UTM

Complete pain in the butt for anything else like qemu

UTM's backend is qemu, isn't it? so one could check what they're doing

A pity that iOS doesn't support UnifiedPush and probably won't in the foreseeable future[1].

This essentially kills it's utility for a lot of use cases.


Does it? If you're using an iPhone are you really expecting to be able to use a third party project like this for notificatioms with how locked down IOS is and Apple's limitations on what is allowed to be installed on your device?


You just reiterated my point --- and expounded on why it would be more accurately called "DroidPush".


> It’s up to 1.8x faster than M1, so multitasking across apps like Safari and Excel is lightning fast

Is multitasking across a web browser and Excel slow on any CPU nowadays?

More seriously, though, it probably shows that CPU speed is not the bottleneck for most tasks nowadays.


I'm not the person you were replying to, but in the past, I've just used an IP reputation checking website, such as:

https://www.apivoid.com/tools/ip-reputation-check/


Website unusable: Captcha forever waits using latest Firefox on latest iPhone13/iOS 18.0


But now it's not even possible to use the add-on in Firefox for Android, as only add-ons from AMO can be installed.


I was curious if trying to load it via file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/... would work (as my recollection is that .xpi installation is content-type: sensitive) but insult-to-injury is that FF Nightly for Android searches for the string "file:///storage...", so they seemingly have nuked even the file: protocol handler for Android. Good times over there at Mozilla


file:/// is gone in Firefox Android since at least 2 years ago. I discovered it a few days ago https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1806171

It works in Chrome on my Android 11 phone.


Pretty sure file:// is very broken in different ways on every android browser.

For example, on kiwi browser typing in a file URL causes it to be searched, but using the "go to URL in clipboard" button (with the file url in your clipboard) works. Except when you randomly run into some weird android file permission issue and the browser just can't see certain files...


That's not true anymore. You have to press the Firefox logo on the about screen a few times, which will make the menu option appear in settings to install an extension from the local filesystem


Fixing this explanation:

You need to go Settings -> About Firefox -> Click the logo a bunch of times on this page specifically -> Press the back button

You will now see the Install extension from file option.


Wow, that's good to know, thanks!


Anyone have a suggestion, how it would be possible to schedule an overnight backup on a Windows 11 laptop with Modern Standby? This used to be possible using the task scheduler, but that doesn't seem to work anymore.


The concept is interesting, but a problem is communicating with others who use iOS/iPadOS devices. They typically can't use this kind of app, because of limitations imposed by the OS[1]. Then, because of networking effects, it becomes very difficult for most people to use.

Sideband, another LXMF/Reticulum client, has an IOS beta here: https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/discussions/307 (currently the TestFlight link is https://testflight.apple.com/join/ftgW9n0Z but that might change in the future).

Of course it has issues running the in the background, but there are possible solutions to this, like having Reticulum run entirely on an RNode, and it is being worked on somewhat actively.


One of the more popular terms is now the "Global North"[1].

As someone from a developed country in the southern hemisphere, I find that a pretty terrible term.


Rainmeter[1] is also quite alive on the Windows side.

The article describes how to change the default:

> Users who want /tmp to remain on disk can override the upstream default with `systemctl mask tmp.mount`. To stop periodic cleanups of /tmp and /var/tmp users can run `touch /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf`.
