I’m replying to you from Asahi Linux on an Apple Silicon Macbook. The drivers are definitely there!

He’s a self-described democratic socialist, which is different from a social democrat, as you labeled him. Yes, many of his proposed policies are steps toward social democracy, rather than actual socialism, but I can’t expect one mayor, even in one of the largest cities, to somehow enact real socialism.

That distinction aside: all we can do is apply pressure and hope that Mamdani doesn’t meaningfully sell-out the working class in NYC.

It is unwise for anyone to bet against certain odds.

Fuck that. Trans people are my friends. Transphobes can catch these hands.

The Linux app is just the desktop app, which doesn’t have the functionality that the Android and iOS apps do. It only works when paired with an Android or iOS device, so you’d still be shackled to those ecosystems without proper support for a mobile Linux app.

Canonical does a lot of bad shit, but switching to uutils is not one of them. The “challenges” are expected because it’s going in a non-LTS release, which is basically meant to be a beta of the next LTS. And those challenges are being quickly addressed as they’re being surfaced. This is exactly the right way to introduce something new, IMO.

I don’t like the uutils pushover license license though :/

Because their sandboxing format subtly breaks so many applications (more than flatpak) and Canonical very nefariously co-opts your apt install <package> with a deb package that’s actually a stub to install the Snap version, so when your shit breaks, you can waste hours before you realize that they fucked your installation.

Beyond that, Snap cold start times (installations or updates) are slow as shit (yes, even with LZO compression), and since each snap application can update on its own, you’ll also encounter random times when your shit appears to “freeze” but what’s actually happening is Canonical is busy polluting your loopback devices to decompress their shittified version of your app.

Canonical, being demons, have Snapified things like GNOME, so even your desktop environment will be encumbered by that dogshit packaging format.

Do not use Ubuntu if you value your time and well-being.

Well, for one: no Rust SDK 😭 This is a half-joke. I’d make some apps for Proton, but I’m not touching JavaScript to do it.

Hopefully, they make more language bindings. I saw that C# was planned, so hopefully they keep the language bindings coming as they stabilize their SDK.

Pedophile defender, Ted Cruz, doesn’t want you or your children to have privacy. I wonder why…

Rapist’s mentality.

Better than 90% of shit on the modern web. Keep up the good work!

Can we avoid calling taking action against valid moral objections “drama”? It only serves to make the people doing the right thing sound like they’re being immature, even when they’re obviously right.

Objecting to a fascist government’s influence over very powerful build infrastructure used around the world is the right thing to do.

This type of comment is indistinguishable from the low-tier, rage bait comments under every Phoronix article.

oniux might be exactly what you’re looking for.

It was still in early development when I played with it months ago, so I’m not sure if it’s ready for daily usage, but it’s from the Tor Project team themselves, so I imagine it will only keep getting better.

Lol. No.

If this works out, it’s likely something that container engines would take advantage of as well. It may take more resources to do (we’ll have to see), but adding kernel isolation would make for a much stronger sandbox. Containers are just a collection of other isolation tools like this anyway.

gvisor already exists for environments like this, where the extra security at the cost of some performance is welcome. But having support for passing processes an isolated, hardened kernel from the primary running Linux kernel would probably make a lot of that performance gap disappear.

I’m also thinking it could do wonders for compatibility too, since you could bundle abandoware apps with an older kernel, or ship new apps that require features from the latest kernel to places that wouldn’t normally have those capabilities.

The --stream functionality looks very useful as well. Super cool!

One thing I really miss from Unity is the efficient use of the top bar doubling as a title bar for full screen windows. I wish modern DEs would do this.
