  • with only Sen. Mitch McConnell breaking GOP ranks to oppose her

    Oh so NOW you’re worried, it would seem, about your legacy and whether you stood against fascism?

    Mitch McConnell, you will always be remembered for obstructing, gaslighting, packing the SCOTUS with toadies, and then flip-flopping on impeachment and accountability for your party, the insurrection, and enabling the orange menace to return to power. Forever. People will piss on your grave, and they will be justified.

    TOO LATE.


  • Writing a kernel in two languages when it has for its entire history been written in one is just asking for needless complexity.

    If Rust wants to have a kernel, then perhaps port or re-write Linux in Rust from scratch as a separate project. Once it’s reached a point of being self-hosting, let ‘the market’ decide in an open competition.

    If the Rust version is demonstrably superior and more secure, then it’ll naturally supplant ‘legacy Linux’.










  • As someone who hasn’t yet moved to Wayland, how good is support these days for alternate keyboard mappings? Is this something that each individual window manager needs to support, or does Wayland itself manage them?

    Not just “international keyboard” support, but truly arbitrary keyboard/symbol mapping support. I muddle in programming with APL, which needs its own key mapping with Unicode symbols.

    I recall KDE had its own mapping support which used some system APL layout but I’d rather not have key mappings tied to a specific window manager.
