I don't like these landing pages which explain nothing. does it emulate windows under linux and vice versa? then it definitely would be very interesting if it just sandboxes applications in the respective OS it could still be useful but has less advantages

I love when LLMs add stats that do not convey anything

> 2 OS targets

Well yeah..

Edit: I would like to add that I checked out the GH and it seems like a really cool project, hence it's a shame that the website did not reflect that.

But they are not for you! They apparently help to appear on the HN frontpage.

And probably also winning some ~sponsor~ investor money.

As usual, the repo (https://github.com/momo5502/sogen) should be the HN link.

On first look of the linked talk/demo, the German guy behind the project seems of legit DRM-background expertise.

If the landing page is slop, just assume that the code is, too.

That's quite a thing. I wonder how can it be used, providing that most apps for windows are GUI. Maybe serving an old C# app?

It'd be nice if it was possible to toggle the different log classes after the fact.

The sandbox worked well on my phone. Seems really well made.
