What? Nova is a rewrite of Nouveau from scratch by Redhat devs to better support newer cards.

Breaking: Democrats do something

Water makes the curls coherent, everything else makes them incoherent, a reminder that entropy always increases. Also that makes it frizzy.

Specifically in the Linux kernel, the 2 big reasons to use it are memory safety (huuuuggee benefit) and that a lot of younger devs like it and thus it will attract their contributions.

The only reasons I can think of to not use it are that some people want their own toolchain and having multiple languages in the kernel adds complication. But tbh, none of that justifies banning Rust stuff that realistically wouldn’t have been written at all if C were the only option.

And then there’s the people who show up in Phoronix, HN, Reddit, and YouTube comments saying Rust is over-hyped without showing why it’s unfit for purpose and also trying to dictate what someone does with their own project. Perhaps it’s something to do with the representation of queer people and other minorities in the Rust community, because otherwise I do not understand why people would be sooo passionate in hating the Rust community like the group I described above is.

It matters to potential contributors. It’s also a floating signifier for a lot of things.

cargo cult

Yeah, you wouldn’t. My point is that’s because it’s preinstalled, not because of any GUI/CLI advantage.

These things add up if you’re doing them all over a 1 million line codebase, by which point it’s incredibly painful to claw back performance if you need it.

man genfstab gave an error? Neither CLI nor GUI is gonna help with simply not having something installed that the guide assumed.

I thought the joke here was that your unbalanced parentheses would make me angry (they did))

You’re actually the real Nazi for being mean to Nazis

It’s the Nazi bar effect

I demand to see your manager

I have said “my brain isn’t braining” several times, people have always understood.

I love their strong stance!

With a library like Wlroots you almost get that, it’s just in-process rather than out of process. The real problem there is doing some fancier things requires nonstandard Wayland extensions with low support across the ecosystem.

But I wanna be a pirate :(

*******

What did you mean by that?
