Finally Wayland! What are your guys experience with Wayland? Do you prefer it to X.Org or do you still prefer X.Org Server?
I still had some minor...

[uid313]

Maybe with the NoScript extension for Firefox.



It is worse than that, it by default uses ASCII, it has this legacy EBCDIC things....

[uid313]

This is why I want PDF libraries to be written in Rust, and PDF applications to be sandboxed with technology such as seccomp, Flatpak and Snap.

[uid313]

Not all of Firefox is written in Rust, only parts of it, such as the CSS engine. Gradually more code is Rust, so it gradually will get more and more secure....

[uid313]

It is only if you put Firefox to use it's dark mode theme. If you use a dark GTK theme then the about:newtab page isn't in dark mode, however the aboutreferences...

[uid313]

Yeah, but I think they fixed some things though, such as adding DevTools support for WebSockets and Server-Sent Events....

[uid313]

I like Firefox but it misses some things:

• HTML dialog element.
• CSS font-family "system-ui".
• Password visibility toggle on input with type="password".
• Entry

But my system is an x86 system. Not much has happened in the x86 space. In the embedded space, such as ARM lots have happened, now they 8 cores, which...

[uid313]

What parts of the Linux kernel would benefit the most from Rust?

I can imagine WireGuard would be nice to have in Rust. What else?

[uid313]

Rather uninteresting. I would be much more interested in open source firmware, UEFI, and fingerprint sensor.

[uid313]

Nah, I have my 7 year old system from 2013, and I don't feel that it is legacy. Not much has changed, at least not in the x86 space....

[uid313]

But ARM just released ARMv9. So ARMv8 is the old stuff now....

[uid313]

Then slowly it creeps to more and more, until all the sites use it. Imagine first maybe it starts with Netflix and some other services, then YouTube....

[uid313]

Yeah, until software start requiring that this be turned on. Like to be able to play video on some service you need to turn that option off, else you...

[uid313]

Oh this is great for spyware, trojan, viruses, and malware. It can hide well in secret memory. Also good for DRM.

[uid313]

Since FFmpeg isn't written in Rust, all applications that use FFmpeg should probably sandboxed with Snap or Flatpak.

[uid313]

No, I never use DKMS directly myself, and I don't think my current system do. I think my old system with a Nvidia graphics card and VirtualBox used DKMS,...

[uid313]

I don't know why GCC and LLVM are installed by default. As a normal user, I've never needed to use any of these. I just use packages from the package...

[uid313]

Yeah, but I use GNOME and it does not have any screensavers, so that means I cannot have any screensavers since its handled by the compositor and it has...

[uid313]

Why do you think that Rust is a terrible language?...
