The kernel is probably too large to rewrite the whole thing at once. This could lead to a future without any new C kernel devs, leading to stagnation, while the Rust kernel could be many years away from being finished. (Assuming we actually move away from C.)
At that point you might as well just start an entirely new kernel and hope it is good enough to eventually replace the Linux one once all devs are gone. Kinda the X11 and wayland thing.
That’s probably the main reason to reason to ban AI. They want a mostly clean training set and they will probably add their own AI answers to each question as well.
My only windows machine left still runs Winamp. It may be old, but at least for playing my offline library, I really don’t know what they could possibly change. For everything else, I wouldn’t use Winamp anyway.
The main draw of xmonad is that you can modify pretty much everything, as the config itself is a Haskell file (the entire thing is written in Haskell). There are tonnes of modules to use, you can define your own window layouts and add whatever functions you can dream off - I haven’t seen any other window manager offer this kind of freedom (with the added joy of learning Haskell!).
As for the second point, about half a year ago, they started doing exactly this. Rewriting xmonad for Wayland. Guess I’ll sit this one out.
I just set up xmonad because I was in the mood for change. Took about a week of tinkering a bit each day and I really like it. Afterwards, I was still in the mood for configs and looked at Wayland. There isn’t much progress on Wayland xmonad, so guess that has to wait.
That’s a common problem I’ve been hearing for almost 10 now - the software support isn’t quite there yet.
Half of them fly, that’s pretty impressive.
Haskell? Curry? Maybe even Brooks.
It’s a command line tool. If you don’t know how to install it despite having the instructions, you don’t know how to use it too.
Not with the stuff we currently have.
Image generation is neat. But now there are so many badly generated images out there that any new model likely feeds on shitty data. Also the whole copyright debate for the images used.
LLM are neat. But there is no point in widespread adoption. Any model that is built to generate correct sentences but not correct content kind of wastes a lot of time for the user and nothing else. They are inpressive, they can be fun and sometimes they are really helpful - but you never know whether or not they hallucinate any given information.
Voice and Avatar generation is neat. Like genuinely neat. But you rgey are so easy to use already, you don’t nees that many specialists.
eDEX-UI - its basically a terminal, but as shown in movies. Mostly inspired by TRON I believe.
As always, you guys are way too fixated on size.
According to my earliest photo taken, I got my current phone about 5,5 years ago. It still runs perfectly fine and I have yet to encounter performance problems on any app I have used. Haven’t even used up more than 50% of its memory. The battery still holds the entire day. Why would I ever get another phone until it breaks? Granted, I don’t play any games besides the occasional handheld emulation on long train rides and I’m on an outdated android version, that’s not supported anymore I believe.
Personally, I like the theme by td0 the most. Minimalism was never my preferred style. Although, I don’t like the color choice for leap specifically.
I’d love to take Haskell, but there’s neither enough support nor enough jobs. Same with most functional languages really. But nothing else compares.
I honestly don’t get it. I had to use it on a job until recently and needed a few plugins for it to be useful. Every major plugin either got worse over time or never fully functioned to begin with. On top of that, it was sometimes slow as fuck despite me having a rather strong machine.
Fist Nintendo and now Valve. They really dream big. But even if they would be up for purchase, I don’t think it would be allowed after how long it took for Blizzard to be bought.
I’m using Alacritty. It’s fast, it includes a Vi mode within its viewport/scrollback and it is highly customizable if you want to. But I haven’t customized it much to be honest, since I mostly go straight into tmux, vim or ranger.
Just in time for the Rust debate to kill its momentum development wise! (/s, likely)
