Do they even allow that kind of interoperability? I thought Discord was 100% our terrible browser application way or the highway?
This is funnier than it has any right to be
Seems like it worked in this case (if you beat a random guy in the streets I’m not sure what else to call you)
Hasn’t this been posted five thousand times already?
Chimera Linux (not to be confused with ChimeraOS, a variant of SteamOS). It introduces itself like this:
Chimera is an independent, general-purpose, rolling-release Linux distribution developed from scratch. It utilizes a FreeBSD-based userland, musl C library and the LLVM toolchain, along with the dinit service manager. Its primary focus is correctness, consistency and simplicity, but not at the expense of feature set; its primary desktop environment is GNOME
It’s worth mentioning that it’s a Linux without GNU (though not for the sake of being that). In general I think projects like this one has a value from a ecosystem diversity perspective too, which also has become immediately apparent when Chimera Linux wasn’t hit by the two last security issues I learned about (the recent SSH regression and the xz debacle).
I’m particularly impressed with their relatively lean setup, but I haven’t had opportunity to use it yet. It’s a bit too immature for my desktop use and I’m already happy with the server I have so it makes no sense to switch.
Someone described open source as the commons of capital and I guess that’s not entirely incorrect. The availability of boring things like server operating systems, encryption libraries, etc, cheapens many commodities to the point where they are viable because people can afford them. Imagine the price of whatever IoT trinket is in vogue if the maker had to roll every software it touches from scratch.
It’s also a lot better than doing it in 100% C++ templates!
I assume we need a lot of breakthroughs to even have useful quantum computing at all, but sure.
Isn’t quantum encryption interesting for end users?
The comments on this one really surprised me. I thought the kinds of people who hang out on XDA-developers were developers. I assumed that developers had a much better understanding of computer architecture than the people commenting (who of course may not be representative of all readers).
I also get the idea that the writer is being vague not to simplify but because they genuinely don’t know the details, which feels even worse.
Interesting! Do you have a link to a write up about this? I don’t know anything about the windows memory manager
Presumably you’d have a QPU in your regular computer, like with other accelerators for graphics etc, or possibly a tiny one for cryptography integrated in the CPU
I’m kind of souring on Fedora Kinoite. I generally sometimes pop in to try how Linux is doing, and I had great hopes for KDE Plasma 6 and immutable distributions for stability. However, I’ve found that many things in the UI are still wonky and broken, fonts don’t render well, and I keep running into limitations in the flatopak/containers ecosystem.
Here are a few paper cuts:
I meant, obviously in the sense that Windows and macOS both apparently already do this and that it’s a desirable property to have, not that it’s technically easy.
Lots of bad answers here. Obviously the kernel should schedule the UI to be responsive even under high load. That’s doable; just prioritise running those over batch jobs. That’s a perfectly valid demand to have on your system.
This is one of the cases where Linux shows its history as a large shared unix system and its focus as a server OS; if the desktop is just a program like any other, who’s to say it should have more priority than Rust?
I’ve also run into this problem. I never found a solution for this, but I think one of those fancy new schedulers might work, or at least is worth a shot. I’d appreciate hearing about it if it does work for you!
Hopefully in a while there are separate desktop-oriented schedulers for the desktop distros (and ideally also better OOM handlers), but that seems to be a few years away maybe.
In the short term you may have some success in adjusting the priority of Rust with nice, an incomprehensibly named tool to adjust the priority of your processes. High numbers = low priority (the task is “nicer” to the system). You run it like this: nice -n5 cargo build

Meanwhile, me asking for spare parts for a few years old bike trailer: lol that’s the old model we don’t have the parts for that one
I have no idea what you’re talking about but you seem to be quite upset about something I guess
