3K Lines Of New Rust Infrastructure Code Head Into Linux 6.13

I assume you spell "color" as "colour". I know that because you spelled it "civilised". It's spelled "civilized". If you were civilized you'd know that. Well, technically, "it's" is spelled "it's".

Civilised is a valid spelling. Saying it's not is like expecting French people to use Québécois slang.

FTFY, given that UEFI runs PE-format executables, not ELF. (Luckily, Linux stopped being a toy by your standards once Microsoft decided to get into the cloud-hosting game with Azure because so many people were already running the toy and wanted part of that action.)

Oh, wouldja lookit that. Microsoft also cares enough about Rust that they donate Azure time for its giant regression/conformance suite that runs on every push.

Why you modified my message in the quote and your response makes zero sense. Microsoft has been part of the UEFI Forum, thus would of supported it using the PE binary format and agreed to the specification, which makes sense given they make the largest user (Windows) of UEFI firmware.

"Civilised" is british, very few people use it.

I didn't want to write this comment to avoid derailing the thread, but it turned out to be worthless anyway, so here I go.

It took me a good minute to figure out that Tux in the article picture isn't covered in blood after getting a c-section, it's just rust.

Let's tone down the racism.

I can build mainline with the latest gcc-15 (master) or clang-20 (main) without any problem, so can you build any rust module on mainline with 1.85.0-nightly?

Can you not?

Rust project builds RfL in CI for every PR, so I'm pretty sure the answer is "yes".

That's because the French are civilized, too. Civilized people don't live under a monarchy. Civilised people do.

It's a meme response format. FTFY = Fixed That For You

My point is that, if running Linux on Apple Silicon is a toy because it's designed for macOS and Apple doesn't officially support it, then running Linux is also a toy on motherboards from vendors like Gigabyte which are designed for Windows, whose support reps will say "Linux is the problem. Our board isn't buggy/broken/whatever. Switch to Windows." if you don't lie about running Windows when reporting firmware bugs that also affect Windows.

As a Canadian, I think I feel qualified to say that we're more democratic than the U.S., despite having a king/queen, because we don't have the Electoral College, and our king/queen (or, usually, governor general, who is also unelected)'s role is 99% ceremonial, with the only real remaining power of note being to call an election if congress is acting like a bunch of spoiled children.

(Australia's parliament also works that way and it's been used to fire a shot across the bow of Republican-esque obstructionism in the past. I don't know for certain about the U.K., but I think they also work that way these days, with the king/queen's role being 99% ceremonial.)

Basically, when the king/queen of England isn't visiting (and, thus, taking over the ceremonial role from the governor general), the only difference from what we'd probably set up if we became a republic is who's on the money.

What is wrong with British english? Not everyone is american.
