    GNOME User Sharing Ported From C To Rust, libadwaita Adds Adaptive Preview Mode

    Phoronix: GNOME User Sharing Ported From C To Rust, libadwaita Adds Adaptive Preview Mode

    It's not only KDE seeing nice improvements ahead of the holidays but GNOME developers were also busy this week preparing new improvements to their open-source desktop stack. There's been some rather exciting changes on the GNOME front as we prepare to cap off the year...

        Cooking what? The water out of their heat syncs because the spell and grammar checks are pinging all the cores? All you did was make me see punctuation and grammar issues. I can't unsee that kind of shit.

        Are you talking about the horrid comma usage all throughout the This Week in GNOME article? I wasn't gonna comment on that due to how many of those folks aren't native English speakers...

          Well, all the Phoronix articles use horribly convoluted writing style. Some are passable, but most of the time it's impossible to read them without cringing at least once.

            The individual sections for TWIG are written by the individual people IIRC. From what I remember there is a matrix channel where the individual maintainers post their updates and then they all get automatically aggregated to this blog post once a week.

                The GNOME User Sharing service for easy-to-use, user-level file sharing has been ported over from the C programming language to using the Rust programming language. The Rust version of GNOME User Sharing offers the same features as before but with better security.
                I will ask he obvious question, are these people so incompetent that they can't improve the security without porting the code from C to Rust?

                They need a compiler to hold their hand?

                Of course the question is redundant and the answer is yes, because this is Gnome after all and the developers may just be the most half-assed of all open source programmers and that is quite an accomplishment.

                Gnome, the joke that keeps on giving.

                  Well, your question is in the wrong context. It isn't even possible to write secure C code in the first place. So the answer is yes because C isn't capable of being secure.
