Tbf, I feel like omarchy is just Arch but with preconfigured hyprland. What are they going to do with 8 million?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Canonical is Funding a PhD to Automate C to Rust Translation for UbuntuEnglish
62·3 hours agoFrom what I get, Rust proposes to make low-level coding easier by forcing programmers into a certain workflow.
Yes and no. It forces programmers to a certain workflow like using a borrow checker to manage memory, but it actually makes programmer’s lives easier, because it prevents bugs from runtime. The compiler will throw a fit, over your buggy code if you try to compile, unlike C.
The funny part is that rust is actually a high level language that can do low level stuff.
But functioning C code is as good as functioning Rust code right?
Yes. I prefer C because it is easier to learn than rust, and feel like rust is more comparable to C++. I also feel like llm plus rust is a good combo, these days.
I might be mistaken, but I think kvm stands for kernel virtual machine. Having no /proc, and interacting with sysctl instead sounds more secure, IMO.
Did you know openBSD does not have this folder? I think the BSD’s do not use /proc. I do not know why though.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux 7.2 finally cuts off ancient x86 fallback codeEnglish
8·3 days agoI mean what can’t run NetBSD? I feel like we should start writing drivers in rumpkernels instead of writing drivers for our OS’s.

Linux@programming.dev•Orion Browser for Linux Officially Enters BetaEnglish
9·4 days agoIt is interesting because we are getting a popular web browser on Mac to gnulinux. I am not a big fan of it though because it is nonfree.
You can’t really decrappify browsers without first decrappifying the web.
I agree with this point a 100%. Wish something like Gemini would succeed (Gemini the protocol, not the google bot). The web is so bloated and “unprivate” if that is a word.

As the creator of the GNU Hurd community, I approve. Prepare everyone’s old thinkpads or old dell laptops, and prepare some Ethernet cables.

432·5 days agoI kinda agree with him as an artist. It makes me sad to see people generate art with ai when they could’ve made a noobie drawing that will still be far much better than the ai one. Ai art can be so weird as well.

I played SuperTuxKart before. Is pepper a mascot somewhere, or is it a character for SuperTuxKart?
GNU screen I am assuming? Or is this ratpoison? Whatever this is, I am in love with it.
Edit: I see it is tmux. Why does the fastfetch show xfwm4?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The Gemini Protocol in 2026: growing, but still not setting the Internet aflameEnglish
1·6 days agoYeah it sucks that google coined the name after their ai chatbot. The first thing that comes to everyone when they hear the name gemini is that bot.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The Gemini Protocol in 2026: growing, but still not setting the Internet aflameEnglish
4·6 days agoGemini is probably going to go the way of the Hurd sadly, IMO. It is a niche that only privacy enthusiasts and FOSS enthusiasts wish to succeed. The Hurd is doing pretty good for how little people are working on it. If anyone is interested checkout my community, which is centered around the GNU Hurd.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GeForce NOW's Linux app exits beta, gets official Flatpak repo - OMG! UbuntuEnglish
81·7 days agoThis is a concern I have as well. Normies are getting into Linux, or should I say GNU/Linux, without understanding the core concepts of Software Freedom. I feel Linux is has been ready a long time ago, but now Linux is more compatible with nonfree software. That is not really a positive thing. But atleast we are making a FLOSS OS more mainstream.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GeForce NOW's Linux app exits beta, gets official Flatpak repo - OMG! UbuntuEnglish
12·7 days agoIt could be, but it’s now in the hands of the same evil corporations that made some guys start GNU and shit.
GNU was started because of a broken printer. Jokes aside, RMS got upset that the company that manufactured the printer could not give the source code for him to modify it to make the printer better. That is when he founded the gnu project and the fsf.
Idk why your comment has the most upvotes. I will give an upvote to you anyways.
BSD actually heavily inspired crux, arch, and gentoo. The aur and portage were inspired by BSD ports. Now of course, I do not know which BSD did the inspiration.






Lmao.
