  • From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?

    They won’t. Don’t download random shit and if you’re worried, run it in Flatpak

    What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?

    Not really possible, since X11 is only built on top of the kernel’s graphical interface (same as Wayland). Even if that wasn’t the case, the kernel doesn’t delete any code that anybody uses (that’s why 30 year old programs still run)

    Lemmy default UI should seriously consider a daily donation goal, similar to old Reddit. Implement a backend API to fetch the daily amount needed and the current amount donated, and stick it on the right hand side by all the trending communities. As a stats nerd, this would seriously motivate me to donate more.
