Support for "older" computers is critical for the future of computing. Linux is dropping 486 support... and that is a massive mistake.



Just Microsoft things... Recently they terminated the VeraCrypt developer's Microsoft account. VeraCrypt is a free and open-source disk encryption software that performs on-the-fly encryption (OTFE) to create virtual encrypted disks, encrypt partitions, or secure entire storage devices.


Microsoft suspended the developer account for WireGuard (and also VeraCrypt). Why? Literally nobody knows. Presumably it's because Microsoft hates everyone and wants us all to suffer.

Another day of gaming on Linux. Or at least trying. Trying to use CachyOS to get the "gaming packages" installed and it doesn't work. I guess I'll spend 15 minutes on fixing this in a terminal window.



it may sound insane, but @theo is almost definitely right to suggest that Anthropic should open-source Claude Code. The benefits are obvious: -it would be the most-starred repo of all time by a very wide margin, easily surpassing OpenClaw -they would get a bunch of free engineering from some of the smartest people in the world, and engineering velocity would skyrocket -a lot of the many small bugs plaguing CC would be eliminated -they would receive an unprecedented level of goodwill -CC SDK usage would likely 10x The downsides definitely aren't as pressing now that the source has been leaked. Regardless, 2025 was the year of mediocre harnesses. This will not be the case in 2026. I expect great things from Anthropic, OAI, Pi, Nous, OpenCode, and Slate Because once users taste a great harness, it's hard to return to something that isn't nearly as good.
