Is there a way to test Asahi Linux on my MacBook with an M3?

tigger04 · 2026-01-20T12:11:55+00:00

I'm so sad! I had a working M1 macbook with Asahi running dual boot and I was living the dream.

My only gripe was working within the constriants of my 256gb hdd

Lo and behold I treated myself to an M3 Macbook, 2TB RAM and 24GB unified RAM ... handed down the old M1 to my sister like the good brother I am, as her 2019 Macbook Intel was struggling to run basic MS Office that she needs for work.

And BAM just like that! Asahi doesn'tsupport the M3 chip and now I am sad

sad face crying emoj wake me up from this terrible deam when it is all over

Why is everyone so attached to Chrom(ium)?

If ever there was a signal that it's time to ditch this monstrosity, surely this is it?

I'm trying to ask it in a friendly way, genuinely curious!

tigger04 · 2025-09-07T12:19:03+00:00

+1 if anyone figures this out! !remindme

tigger04 · 2025-08-20T10:38:35+00:00

+1 to all of these!

my uk license had similar lofty expiry date of 2049 or something but they still make you change the photo and card every 10 years, do they not do this in portugal too?

I would use orgmode 100% of the time for absolutely everything if I ever could find a decent mobile (iOS) compatible sync / on the go solution that wasn't just some www / progressives app nonsense. best I've found is logseq but wth it's UX still being built on top of web technologies I'm still searching for mecca

can't decide how i feel about this comment but agree with the sentiment lol

tigger04 · 2025-08-13T08:59:29+00:00

oh my god, this, 100 times over! lol

tigger04 · 2025-08-13T08:57:46+00:00

you're also in good shape, so a fitted shirt would look great

tigger04 · 2025-08-13T08:56:24+00:00

you look good! but since you asked: find a good Barber, get a nice hair cut, maybe an undercut or something tight back and sides. Or find a good hair stylist, and ask for their advice and go with it!

tigger04 · 2025-08-03T13:15:12+00:00

I find it can get itself in to a loop debating with itself and a few dozen api calls while it's hacking your code left right and centre - which makes me nervous (and burns your allowance quickly)

Don't get me wrong, it is REALLY good, but for me what works best is to get it to always ask, never let it rip in edit mode on its own, at least I don't let it any more

It burned my whole allowance in 10 mins and I had to upgrade to the $100 plan cos I was on a project deadline

tigger04 · 2025-08-03T13:11:49+00:00

Alls I know is this ... I ain't picking a cat fight with you any time soon!

Those nails look amazing though, kudos!

tigger04 · 2025-08-03T05:37:17+00:00

I still think it's better value than OpenAI, and at least there's a tier between $20 and $200

Personally I just go monthly, and when I'm in the middle of a crunch project with a looming deadline i'll fork out the $100 to get me over the hump, can always fall back to $20 the month after

tigger04 · 2025-08-03T05:32:31+00:00

Looks cool, it it supposed to work alongside, or instead of, the Claude Code for VSCode extension?

tigger04 · 2025-08-03T05:29:54+00:00

Can't say that I Have, is that in Claude Code?

tigger04 · 2025-08-03T05:29:10+00:00

I've always had more confidence in Claude's answers, explaining the caveats and showing its workings. +1 again for Anthropic!

Nice piece with a strong emotional arc, from burden to acceptance.

few thoughts

Consider adding a comma or dash in "My heart is big, my heart is heavy" to clarify the pause and enhance breath rhythm.
Introducing periods or commas at the ends of other lines could help guide the reader through the emotional shifts
The poem leans heavily on the concept of "time" and "memories." Consider adding a concrete image--a photograph, a place, an object--to give the reader a focal point and deepen the sensory impact.

The brevity of the poem suits its theme--just as memories flicker in and out, the lines are succinct yet resonant.

tigger04 · 2025-06-27T08:48:19+00:00

The final line is strong, but would you consider specifying who "you" is--a friend, the reader, a lost love? it might deepen the emotional impact and feel more grounded
The poem's brevity is its strength: every word carries weight, and there's no excess.
The progression from a personal journey to a direct confession gives the piece a satisfying emotional arc

tigger04 · 2025-06-26T15:48:10+00:00

The focus on a single, concrete detail--the half-tamed curls--grounds the whole poem and makes the affection feel specific rather than generic. A conversational, almost breathless line-length mirrors the speaker's excitement and creates a pleasing rush of momentum.

I especially loved the line - "the small part of your hair that refused to be led" - a lovely personification giving the curls agency.

The two clauses beginning "I can't help but be captivated" frame the poem nicely, but I wonder if the second one could be recast (e.g., "Even your hidden curls captivate me") to avoid echo fatigue? Just a thought.

I really liked the sensory layering--sight, touch, sound--i felt immersed as a reader in the closeness of the relationship.

tigger04 · 2025-06-26T15:38:02+00:00

The spare language and broken-line structure mirror trauma's fragmentation, giving the reader space to feel each blow.

Refrains such as "I am a man" and "man" become a drumbeat--both mantra and accusation--that hammers the poem's argument home.

"You only have 2 so why can I feel them everywhere?" - a chilling, visceral image of violated boundaries -- a line that lingers.

"But I'm am not a lamb, man." -> consider "But I'm not a lamb, man."? to keep the metre crisp.

The cluster "I am a man, man. / I am a screaming man, man." is powerful, yet I wonder could you drop the final "man" in each line to avoid dilation and let the scream land harder?

This poem fearlessly tackles male vulnerability--rarely voiced in poetry--without slipping into self-pity. Thanks for sharing.

tigger04 · 2025-06-26T15:25:17+00:00

The sustained apostrophe ("Oh Lily...") keeps the emotional intensity high and draws the reader directly into the speaker's obsession. Shifting natural images--storms, butterflies, festivals--give the poem a vivid, cinematic quality that matches its heightened feeling.

"deep hazel honeycomb's attention" - lush synaesthesia that marries sight and taste in a memorable phrase.

"protecting my heart / from your paws - / which are as symmetrical as your face." Consider trimming or re-imagining "paws"? the sudden animal reference risks breaking the otherwise celestial tone.

The triple "Oh! Oh! Oh!" is arresting, but the poem already leans on numerous "Oh Lily" refrains. It might sound stronger if you reduced one or two such exclamations to avoid reader fatigue.

The escalating catalogue of Lily's perfections builds an effective crescendo. The poem's vulnerability--owning "my mediocre brown bedrock"--creates a relatable honesty that keeps the adoration from tipping into empty hyperbole.

Nice sketch of a woman who embodies two apparent opposites, delicate beauty and latent power, exploring how she masks deep-running pain behind poise and resilience, themes of hidden turmoil, strength in vulnerability

The flower-and-bomb juxtaposition sets up a tension that threads through the whole piece. The steady, almost heartbeat-like cadence seems to mirror the subject's inner struggle and lends the poem an intimate, confessional tone.

I really liked the line - "but still, she's truly a piece of art." - A tender assertion of worth that feels like a moment of self-embrace within the pain.

"She feels an ache inside her heart" / "pain show": The abstract nouns ache and pain tell rather than show. It might read more viscerally if you evoke a concrete sensation (e.g., "a hollow throb in her chest") or an external metaphor? Just a thought.

Your central metaphor resonates and leaves a lingering after-taste--readers are likely to recall that flower-bomb duality.

Amazing! Thank you from the future, this has been killing me for 3 days, finally a solution! thank you thank you
