artists hating LLMs for programming more than programmers is very strange to me, especially in the context of a game
I’m sure those 10 lines of code in big walk did more environmental damage than the power draw of thousands of GPUs rendering a game for hours. God forbid anyone have any nuance

I'm grateful for the work Asahi did on Apple Silicon, and in the best open source spirit, we've been expanding that with TouchID, M3 GPU, DisplayPort over USB-C, deep sleep, MacBook Neo. But thanks to agent acceleration, Asahi rejects upstreaming 🤷
Finally solved the long-standing issue with Linux on Apple Silicon, power management
Neo during suspend now draws **0.05 W** on average, just like macOS. It cuts off the power rail to SoC while keeping DRAM in self-refresh loop and still supports wake over LAN/USB/BT, so it works well in docked setups too
And now it's finally possible to just let your Mac running Linux sleep for days without losing battery (well, negligible amounts)! Most of the time was spent covering all sorts of edge cases with USB / weird coprocessor gotchas across suspend
As expected, it wasn't too big like the GPU work was (just difficult to get right, and touches a fairly big amount of subsystems to implement suspend/wake in each) - needed me to sit down for a while and actually get it done... it took a lot of tiny details to get here, but I've finally developed a nearly complete understanding of how it works. 2 days into this rabbit hole and the result is, deep sleep works on Neo and expectedly super similar across M4-M6, where deep WFI looks a little different, others on team like Andreas and @tiredkebab have gotten it to work on M1/M2 as well
Technical deep dive in a blog post coming soon from me and @RyanTheTide regarding the whole Neo bringup we did in the matter of 2 months, it's been a lot of fun & it's just the beginning of what @AuroraSilicon team is doing with @OmarchyMac
Will be working on shipping this feature to our mainline kernel now

the slop conversation is so one sided, it's not just that you can produce more code
you can also observe, debug, and refactor more code
even if the code is slop you have such good tools to deal with it. even if you write code manually, it's still 100x easier to maintain it

As the exclusive sponsorship begins, another big thank you to @Omarchy's Omacom Foundation for sponsoring Hyprland for 3 years!!
This will allow Hyprland to smoothly continue development for the coming years and bring more and more hypr into linux.

Touch ID support for Linux on Apple Silicon is finally shipping soon!
It’s been a while since I got Secure Enclave driver working, huge props to @SiliconForested & team for taking over and making it reliable and work across more machines. Also wouldn’t have been possible without all the other contributors who tried it on early and submitted PRs.
We’re also shipping more complete Thunderbolt support & hot-pluggable external displays and all sorts of accessories, building on top of Asahi’s incredible basic USB4/Thunderbolt support.
This is JUST the beginning. Much more exciting stuff coming. All new Macs are getting covered as we speak. Long-standing issues like power management are also being tackled.
I've never been more excited to hit merge on a PR than I was for this one. 🎉
It took 15 people on five continents to get here.
@jondkinney kept a branch alive for almost a year. @tiredkebab's fork pushed the idea further. Then came a lot of long conversations with @maralcbr and @bi9kahuna to get it over the line.
Major props to the rest of the Omarchy M team who helped in various ways as well: @martiano @riverleaf88 @buildwithdjdev @RyanTheTide @Acelogic_ @LiamRay1O @ewninjaofficial @jaidipsubedi @JoshuaSWarren @shawnyeager @novuon_ai
Thank you all. This one's special, and lays important groundwork.
There's a new version of this post

I’m delighted to welcome @namespacelabs to the Omacom Foundation as a Distinguished Corporate Patron, contributing $100,000 a year in compute that we’re plowing straight into ARM builds and QA. We will push these Apple Silicon chips to the max! omarchy.org/news/2026/10/nam…
Turns out Astra is not stupid, I just needed to replace it with Sol 6.1 ultrafast. This is a whole new world.

We are glad to support the Omarchy team
Thrilled to welcome @spacexai as a Founding Corporate Patron for the Omacom Foundation. That's $1,500,000 in @grok tokens for the maintenance and development of Omarchy. Maybe soon they'll be beamed straight from orbit? Let's go 🚀🌕 omarchy.org/news/2026/10/spa…

Meanwhile, Portal 2 running on MacBook Neo. Linux GPU driver for A18 Pro is almost complete!
Linux 7.4 To Introduce Initial Device Trees For Apple M4, A18 Pro For MacBook Neo
It will boot on these Mac M4 devices and MacBook Neo but not doing much beyond that.
