Differences between stal/IX and regular Linux

stal/IX This document contains a regularly updated list of differences between stal/IX and regular Linux. Minimalism “UNIX is simple and coherent…” - Dennis Ritchie “GNU’s Not UNIX” - Richard Stallman stal/IX is not UNIX or Linux in the usual sense of these terms. stal/IX is an attempt to rethink some fundamentals without touching the Linux API and ABI. One of the goals of stal/IX is to build the system from the ground up in such a way that it is easy to understand how it works, not just

Why our website looks like an operating system

I have a problem with many large, technical websites. Often times, I’ll want to refer to different pages at the same time. So I’ll CMD + click “a couple times” while browsing around and before I know it, I have 12 new tabs open – all indistinguishable from each other because they share the same favicon. PostHog.com has the same problem – especially as the site has grown from supporting a handful of paid products to over a dozen. As I looked for ways to solve this explosion of pages, I started

This Pop-Out Phone Controller Could Reinvent How We Think of Mobile Gaming

Today’s retro recreations are so good at replicating the Game Boy’s look, feel, and portability. The problem is, my pockets are already occupied with my mobile supercomputer that contains my life behind a 6.3-inch pane of glass. If my phone has a powerful processor and excellent AMOLED display, why can’t it also become my gaming device when I’m on the go? MCON, the controller hyped to hell and back by young engineer Josh King and brought to market by phone peripheral makers OhSnap, could be enou

How Bill Gates’ fellowship program is adapting to global uncertainty

There’s plenty of uncertainty to go around this year, including a global trade war, shifting policy priorities, and an economy that’s starting to stumble. Breakthrough Energy, a climate tech organization founded by Bill Gates, has also been shifting in response. The group always placed long bets, though it appears to be reappraising some of them. Its policy team was scrapped in March, for example, and it didn’t continue funding a publication that covered the climate tech world. Still, its inves

iMazing 3 gives you full control of your iPhone, with a 20% discount

iMazing started life as a more powerful and flexible alternative to iTunes, but has since grown into a comprehensive desktop solution for managing Apple mobile devices across personal, educational, and professional contexts.

Perplexity's definition of copyright gets it sued by the dictionary

Merriam-Webster and its parent company Encyclopedia Britannica are the latest to take on AI in court. The plaintiffs have sued Perplexity, claiming that AI company's "answer engine" product unlawfully copies their copyrighted materials. They are also alleging copyright infringement for instances where Perplexity's AI creates false or inaccurate hallucinations that it then wrongly attributes to Britannica or Merriam-Webster. The complaint , filed in New York federal court, is seeking unspecified

‘Wednesday’ Star Evie Templeton on Agnes’ Progression From Stalker to Friend

During a chat on the official Wednesday podcast—or rather, woecast—Nevermore newcomer Evie Templeton discussed Agnes coming into her own after being an unhinged stalker fan of Netflix’s favorite Addams. After Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) lays into her at the end of the second season of the Tim Burton show, seemingly to push her to be herself in the meanest way possible, Agnes gets gutted emotionally in a way that could have been a villain origin but goes in a surprisingly positive direction. “I th

Online Media Brands Hope a New Protocol Will Stop Unwanted AI Crawlers

Online media brands, including Yahoo, Quora and Medium, are taking a new step to prevent AI companies from copying and using their content to train models without their permission. The publishers, including CNET's parent company Ziff Davis, see this new tool, called RSL, as another way to ensure large AI developers don't use their work without payment or compensation -- an issue that's already led to a host of lawsuits. RSL, which stands for Really Simple Licensing, is inspired by Really Simpl

Daily Hub is a terrible Pixel 10 feature. Here’s what Google needs to do to fix it

Joe Maring / Android Authority Daily Hub is one of the biggest new software features on the Google Pixel 10 series. And as you might have heard by now, it’s already being killed — at least temporarily. This week, Google announced that it was temporarily pausing Daily Hub as it works to “enhance its performance and refine the personalized experience.” The pitch for Daily Hub was that it would be a central place to see a glanceable overview of your day, but as we quickly discovered, Daily Hub’s

GrapheneOS and forensic extraction of data (2024)

Matthai Hi, I am writing an article and I am sharing a draft with you. I will be glad if you share your thoughts and suggestions with me. GrapheneOS is an Android-based, open source, privacy and security-focused mobile operating system for mobile phones. It is one of the most secure and privacy protecting operating systems (and yes, it does this task comparable and in some scenarios even better than iOS, but we will come to that later). However, in the beginning of May, someone started an at

Don’t just buy a Pixelsnap Charger without thinking about your USB ports

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Some new Pixel 10 owners are running into trouble with Google’s Pixelsnap Charger due to insufficient power input. When buying a charger, make sure that the device you want to power it with is capable of meeting its listed needs. Google requires 35W of input to use the Pixelsnap Charger at full 25W output. Charging phones is finally exciting again! Well, maybe “exciting” is overselling it — and not so much “again,” we guess — but charging is absolutel

iPhone 17, iPhone Air, AirPods Pro 3, and Apple Watch Series 11 event reactions

Benjamin and Chance react to the September Apple event, with opinions in keynote order. Chance was there in person, so that includes some early hands-on thoughts of these new devices. That includes Apple’s unveiling of the new AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Series 11, iPhone 17, iPhone Air and the unmistakably orange iPhone 17 Pro series. And in Happy Hour Plus, the pair talk about what products they are buying from this week’s announcements, and some more on Chance’s experience at Apple Park. Subs

I tried the Apple Watch Series 11, and it's so close to making my Oura Ring obsolete

The feature is available with WatchOS 26 and on the new smartwatches. There's one health tracking feature I wish Apple had announced. Last year, Gallup surveyed Americans about their sleep habits.

The Helix Text Editor (2024)

I’ve come to accept that I’m just a sucker for shiny nerd things. I use Rust, despite never having had a professional reason to use it in my life. I switched to Linux in my student years and I’ve never looked back since, even though it constantly breaks and I can’t get my Bluetooth headphones to connect. I have a split keyboard with home row mods set up because I read some random blog posts and it looked cool to me. I literally learned to program because I figured I should learn how to do more n

How Palantir is mapping the nation’s data

When the U.S. government signs contracts with private technology companies, the fine print rarely reaches the public. Palantir Technologies, however, has attracted more and more attention over the past decade because of the size and scope of its contracts with the government. Palantir’s two main platforms are Foundry and Gotham. Each does different things. Foundry is used by corporations in the private sector to help with global operations. Gotham is marketed as an “operating system for global

Mark Hamill Is Embracing His Villain Era

In a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Star Wars‘ Mark Hamill unpacked his recent resurgence in popularity, stating, “I certainly didn’t expect to have this sudden burst of life so late in the game. I should be spending time wandering the beaches with a metal detector. I can’t explain why, all of a sudden, I have five features this year.” As the actor notes, “There was a point about five years ago where I thought that it’s not easy getting older, and it’s even harder when you’re doing

This New Korean Rom-Com Feels Like a Throwback '80s Teen Movie in the Best Way

As a movie lover who grew up on John Hughes and other filmmakers like him, I was trained from an early age to expect that high school would be filled with archetypes: bullies, popular kids, jocks, nerds and humorless and gruff authority figures. While we've evolved since then (at least a tiny bit), there's something about some of those now-classic '80s movies that remains endearing even if some of the characters and plot details feel problematic or downright silly by today's standards. Don't mi

This Is How Long You Can Keep Chicken in the Fridge

Investing in a meat delivery service has made it easy to have everything I need for cooking dinner delivered right to my door. But there are still times when I don't always finish -- or even cook -- everything I've ordered right away. I've found myself eating leftovers for lunch the next day. Although I knew that chicken (even cooked) didn't have a long shelf life, I didn't realize I might have been flirting with food poisoning by eating poultry that had already started to turn. Poultry is a hi

How to Inspire K-12 Students to Study in Computing Disciplines in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Byte-A-Dynamo Workshops

Software engineering shouldn’t be gatekept to people who can afford an expensive degree. Recently, one group has been working hard to expand artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science teaching to students (ages 10-16) from low-income families in Maryland who have no or minimal computing backgrounds. Computing isn’t just for the elite; it’s for anyone with curiosity and creativity. But resources and training aren’t always widely accessible. That’s why a series of free workshops was introd

Financial Experts Concerned That Driving Users Into Psychosis Will Be Bad for AI Investments

Countless users of AI chatbots are being driven into spirals of delusion, a wave of "AI psychosis" that's alarming mental health professionals. Some even say the tech could give birth to entirely new categories of mental disorders. The grim trend has already been linked to several deaths, including the suicide of a 16-year-old boy, which has led to his family suing ChatGPT maker OpenAI, accusing it of product liability and wrongful death. In fact, even Wall Street is starting to grow uncomfort
