> Deprecation of x86_64-darwin

Understandable with Apple dropping official support but kind of sad as they were selling Intel powered Macs until as recently as 2023 and with Tahoe still continuing to receive security updates until 2028.

How is NixOS on Intel Macs currently? Hopefully Linux can still breathe life into these computers in 10 years time.

I wonder if big companies will now start paying shadow libraries like annas archive for direct access, to minimize publicity of how training data was acquired, like Nvidia supposedly did?

Few tens of thousands of dollars is a rounding error in Meta's bottom line but if this case goes anything like the Anthropic one, I would see it likely.

Of course it wouldn't prevent authors from asking LLM's for content from their books and suing Meta again but I imagine authors would be less likely to with less evidence.

Looks like SteamOS and the accompanying hardware are enough of a success that they're at least spending _some_ resources to try and figure out anticheat on Linux.

What can competitive games even do in the long run against cheating on Linux since cheaters can re-compile the kernel to hide away things like memory reads, mouse movement and rendering?

I also wonder if Apex Legends will re-enable Linux support in the near future to test this anticheat.
