That'll be it for my 2018 Mac mini then. There is, of course, OpenCore Legacy Patcher . . . -

Support cost cutting and nudging people to upgrade for profit. Pure and simple. Nothing as noble as hardware actually becoming "obsolete" about most of the hardware requirements from Apple, Microsoft, or Android companies either. iMac 2017 with AMD running legacy Core still have native GPU support in macOS 15 and run perfectly fine. Doesn't even need any fancy patching outside of the minimum patching needed to get macOS 15 on the system to bypass Apple system requirements aking to running windows 11 on a PC that doesn't match the arbitrary CPU generation requirements that make you bypass them too. You can usually tell if hardware is truly in the realm of "obsolete" if you are having a hard time finding a major Linux distro that'll install on it. -

>Mozilla's Firefox has been left behind over time in terms of market share, as it has not been able to keep up with Chromium-based browsers in the performance department. I have no problems with Firefox's performance whatsoever. I suspect the reason Firefox is lagging in market share is that average consumers haven't heard of it and are fine with what was installed on their systems. -

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is a new narrative-driven sci-fi RPG inspired by Mass Effect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Out of nowhere, a narrative-driven sci-fi action RPG has been announced that will take players into the universe of The Expanse TV show and novels. The reveal trailer landed today during the Future Games Showcase, offering both a cinematic look at the setting as well as snippets of gameplay. Check out the The Expanse: Osiris Reborn debut trailer above. The studio behind the project is Owlcat Games. Some may remember that name from being involved in the role-playing titles Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, as well as the most recent hugely well-received RPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Now, the studio's sights are set on The Expanse universe, and it's going for the over-the-shoulder third-person gameplay route for the first time. “We’ve been dreaming about building a sci-fi action RPG of this scale for a long time, and The Expanse is the perfect universe to bring that vision to life,” says Owlcat’s Creative Director, Alexander Mishulin. “It’s a world grounded in realism and complexity, perfect for telling a story the way we like it— mature and character-driven, where your choices truly matter." The story will have players taking the role of a custom captain that can be from the Earth, Mars, or the Belt to take control of the most advanced ship currently available. There's a crew to meet and lead, tactical third-person combat, and, as expected from this franchise, a divided solar system to navigate and make decisions on. The studio was also very direct about this experience being inspired by BioWare's Mass Effect trilogy. Aside from the action-heavy gameplay seen in the trailer, Owlcat is promising plenty of political intrigue, as well as romance options for players to dive into. Game Design Producer Yuliya Chernenko added "many of us first played it in our teenage years, and it left a lasting impression," and that "we are building on that legacy and expanding what players anticipate from this experience." The Expanse: Osiris Reborn does not have a release window just yet, but it will be coming out on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. -

I don't know of anyway other than winareo tweaker to set the font type in Win11. They took that option away! No wonder people are staying with Win10, or 7. It's not our computer with Win11.... it's theirs!

Question
rwx
I want to distribute some software that was compiled with the MinGW compiler which is bound by the GPL but my software is closed source and my software requires the GCC run time environment. (It uses the DLLs so no static linking).
According to this:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception-3.1-faq.html
Based on my understanding, I can keep my code closed as far as I don't mess with the original source files (which I don't, I only use the compiler to compile the program). Then it says this:
It doesn't meantion: libwinpthread-1 but it does say "and other libraries distributed with GCC." I spent quite some time searching for the answer but I could not find out if it's covered or not. So I had to download the MinGW source code and try to make sense (this is the first time I was looking at its source code) and I found a file called: "thread.c" in src-4.8.0-release-rev1.tar\src-4.8.0-release-rev1\src\gcc-4.8.0\gcc\ada and in it:
But I don't know if this file is responsible for "libwinpthread-1.dll" because there is also a folder called "winpthreads" and in it there some files and not one of them mentions "GCC Runtime Library Exception" so I am really really confused.
I have done so much research but I could not find an answer.
My objective is to release the software without later on being forced to release my code because if that's the case I may as well buy Vision Studio and compile it using VS.
