JayDustheadz··on macOS 15.0 supports Nested Virtualization on M3 chips
That's the issue - you can not run Big Sur on macOS 14 on an ARM Mac - from what I know, this is only possible on an Intel machine. Perhaps also on the very first M1 Macs, though I'm not sure about that one. Or am I wrong?
JayDustheadz··on macOS 15.0 supports Nested Virtualization on M3 chips
I'm not a super-advanced user, so could somebody please let me know if this will allow running Windows on an ARM based Macs? Or perhaps running a VM with macOS Big Sur on macOS 15 ( I'm looking to install a specific version of an app via App Store - a version that is limited to macOS Big Sur )? Thanks in advance!
JayDustheadz··on Ask HN: Should I medicate my ADHD?
Imo that depends. If you don't encounter any major issues in your life, then I'd skip the meds. Not only they're really expensive, they're also really difficult to get ( especially recently, for some reason they rarely appear in the pharmacies ). They also don't always work - this is most likely different for each person, but I feel that they provide only a slight boost in my concentration and motivation ( in my case though, this is does make a difference ).
JayDustheadz··on x86-64 Assembly Language Programming with Ubuntu (2022)
Hopefully not offtopic: if I'd like to learn/use asm on Apple's ARM Macs, what would be a good start? In very short, I'd be interested in, at some point, improving the performance of the code for the apps that my company creates.
JayDustheadz··on Ask HN: Those with ADHD. What's a hobby that never gets boring?
There's no such thing sadly, at least not for me. Been looking for a hobby for several years no, nothing sticks. The only thing that I actually continuously enjoy throughout the years is helping other people. Guess there's a lot of truth in "There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving".

JayDustheadz··on GIMP Turns 27
It's, sadly, a LOT faster on a Windows machine. Performance (especially boot times) is horrid on even more powerful Macs (M1Pro f.ex).
JayDustheadz··on GIMP Turns 27
I want to love GIMP, I really do. But at the same time, I despise how slow it was/is on OS X/macOS (especially when compared to how it works on Windows). I mean, what modern program takes more than 15 seconds to start? How come this slow start is plaguing macOS GIMP for more than what, 8 years now?
JayDustheadz··on Apple claims Safari is the world's fastest browser
If only Safari would support uBlock Origin and other necessary modern extensions. I would happily hop over even today!
JayDustheadz··on Ask HN: What would you be working on if money were no object?
Myself.
JayDustheadz··on Troll jailed for 5 years after swatting of Twitter handle owner ends in death
Only 5 years? For a "prank" resulting in somebody's death? It's a sad world to live in :(
JayDustheadz··on Ask HN: How do you deal with work pressure?
If you don't mind a personal advice, keep the following in mind: that there's no point in even a well paid job if you're going to spend the entire paycheck (or even more) on meds/healthcare. High pressure jobs ALWAYS leave a mark on you, always affect you (even if you're not at work). People tend to ignore this when they're young, I did as well, and I very much regret doing so. Whatever you do, good luck and stay safe and healthy!
JayDustheadz··on Ask HN: What do you hate about Slack?
Mainly the fact that you can't ignore people.
JayDustheadz··on Ask HN: Can you give me a challenge or goal to complete over the summer?
Here's 3 challenges from me: - skip acid, don't even get close to it, - don't curse for a month, - at least 2 selfless good deeds per day for a month.

Good luck, especially with the first one!
