Sneak peek of something we're cooking up...

Pink + Purple == Apple? 🌸🍎 Got Google's Fuchsia OS booting on an Apple M3 MacBook, through to userspace! Apple's interrupt controller (AIC), timer, and m1n1 virtual UART are working on native hardware. Here's how it works:

Install today with: curl -L alx.sh/ | EXPERT=1 sh Let me know if there's anything we can do better!

You can now install Linux on Apple M3 MacBooks! 🐧 We've got USB, Audio, WiFi, and more working, but not the GPU yet. Instructions to install in the reply. It was so fun to help make this happen, and credits to the rest of the team too! Let me know how you find it!

So I got a bit addicted...

My work on console inspired me to start helping with Interop 2026! Fixed a small issue with fetch that will turn 4 tests selected for Interop green. As Chrome/Edge are the only ones that fail these, the change (once merged) will raise the overall interop score.

Tested a bunch just now and seems like Ladybird might fit this? It doesn't support %c for CSS but supports other format strings, and doesn't support %% as an escape.

Only Chrome does it that way (Firefox, Safari, Node etc. don't), though due to a technicality that's actually what the spec says to do. Submitted a PR to the WHATWG Console spec and Chromium to fix it!

Raw data here! Note that this is JMH results, and real-world stats may vary. Link to the patch here: github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/… I recommend anyone reading this to get involved in OpenJDK, it is a really nice and welcoming community! You can learn more here: openjdk.org/guide/

Just got my first performance patch merged into OpenJDK. ☕ It fuses separate multiply instructions on x86_64, yielding a ~1.85x speedup for 128-bit multiplication on the JVM. Big thanks to the reviewers who helped guide this through!
