We are entering an era in which AI models are starting to shape device specifications.
AI models are beginning to define device specifications, rather than device specifications merely determining which applications you can run.
Apple shows just how far its devices can go with on-device AI, without relying on the cloud
We’re moving from models with up to 14 billion active parameters on iPhone/iPad, to 35 billion on MacBook Air, 70 billion on Mac mini, 120 billion on MacBook Pro, and up to 480 billion on Mac Studio.
By clustering multiple Mac Studios together, Apple says it can run models exceeding 1,600 billion active parameters.
A demo that shows just how crucial unified memory and its bandwidth have become for running massive AI models locally.

Best overall CLI coding tool right now?
What do you think is the best CLI coding agent overall?
I’m mainly comparing things like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Aider, etc.
I care about:
- Coding quality
- Speed
- Cost / token usage
- Cache hit / caching
- Context handling
- Reliability on larger projects
If you’ve used multiple, which one would you pick as the best overall and why?

KDE Plasma 6 Global Menu applet (macOS-style panel)
Hi KDE folks,
I’ve been working on a small Plasma 6 project called Global Menu KDE.
GitHub:
https://github.com/ChathurangaBW/global-menu-KDE
The idea is simple: I like KDE’s native Global Menu widget and didn’t want to replace it with a custom macOS-style panel. I only wanted to add the part that feels missing when the desktop itself is active.
When there is no application exporting a global menu, the widget shows:
File Edit View Go Tools Settings Help
Those menus contain desktop-related actions such as:
- File: Home Folder, Documents, Downloads, Trash
- Edit: Clipboard History
- View: Show Desktop / Restore Windows
- Go: common locations
- Tools: Run Command, Konsole, System Monitor
- Settings: System Settings
- Help: KDE Help Center
If you find something broken, especially menu actions, panel behavior, persistence after reboot, or application-menu switching, please open an issue on GitHub with your Plasma version and distro.
Repo:
https://github.com/ChathurangaBW/global-menu-KDE
Feedback, testing, code review, and contributions are welcome.

Love the macOS-style desktop experience, but still want the freedom and flexibility of Linux?
I’ve been working on AppMenu, an open-source GNOME Shell extension that brings a macOS-inspired global menu bar to Linux.
It includes:
• Application-aware global menus
• A Spotlight-style search experience
• Workspace and window controls
• Recent files and system actions
• Fast user switching
• Support for GTK, Qt, Electron, Flatpak and more
• No external daemon or background service required
The goal is not to turn Linux into macOS. It is to bring some of the best desktop UX ideas to GNOME while keeping everything open, customizable and community-driven.
The project is open source, and contributions are welcome. Whether you want to report a bug, suggest a feature, improve the documentation or contribute code, your support can help make AppMenu better.

I built AppMenu — a macOS-inspired menu bar for GNOME Shell
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on AppMenu, a GNOME Shell extension that adds a clean, macOS-inspired application menu to the top panel.
It includes:
- File, Edit, View, Go, Window, Help, and application menus
- Window controls such as minimize, maximize, tile, fullscreen, and close
- Working Copy, Paste, Cut, Undo, Redo, and Select All shortcuts
- Recent files and applications
- Fast user switching with avatars
- System actions including lock, log out, restart, shut down, and force quit
- Automatic focused-application detection
- An application blacklist
- Multiple Linux distribution icons and an optional Apple-style icon
The extension supports GNOME Shell 45–50 and works on both Wayland and X11.
It is still under active development, so feedback, testing, bug reports, and contributions would be appreciated.
