Dear Lazyweb, have you succeeded in installing Rockbox on an iPod 5 via macOS 14 or Raspbian 12? **Please note the extreme specificity of this question.**
The changelog says "1.5.1: Fix bootloader installation for Ipods" but the 1.5.1 DMG of RockboxUtility actually has 1.5.0 in it and does not work. Compiling from source on a Pi took nearly 24 hours to build the gcc toolchain and eventually failed with a bunch of undefined OPLL symbols.

Folks are very rightly upset about Facebook, Google, and Amazon partnering with company that listened in on people's conversations to figure out what ads to show them.
But I'm not hearing enough about the company that actually did the spying:
Cox Media Group, aka CMG.
Say their name. Say it with venom. Hold them accountable.

I'm serious. The trend is towards massive cloud computing farms for everything we do. Eventually, local computing will disappear completely.
I call this The Computational Web, aka Web 3.0.

It's nice that they're improving. But I'm not going to recommend any of this to developers until *the data* comes back green.
And that isn't about a stovepiped "isn't our thing slightly better than it was last year?!" comparison, it's a "does this work well for teams in general?" sort of view.
And there's a decade of busted sites and broken promises trailing behind React and Vercel that mean the only acceptable form of that data is from a third party.

Yes, we *all* have a long way to go, and yes, we need to celebrate progress. But that doesn't mean we have to pretend that picking Vercel's products aren't a business-limiting thing to do.
