It’s basically the best virtualization platform. It can do full system emulation across a number of platforms, or hardware assisted virtualization (using KVM). It’s incredibly useful for debug as well as doing real work.

Uh, what? The Ayn Rand garbage philosophy? I’ve never heard that and don’t see how that jibes with a free, crowd sourced encyclopedia…

I’ve never seen a repo so reticent to tell you what it is.

My guess is it’s the journal software running the .org but everything also seems to be down half the time.

So, the answer to the question “Can Linux directly host another Unix-like operating system’s binary interface?” at the moment is “partly, experimentally, and impressively.”

As if there was any question on that? You can have Linux “handle” Windows PE binaries by telling it to invoke wine, dealing with a Unix-like scenario is a much lower bar.

The question is who is this useful for? FreeBSD has the Linux compatibility layer because it’s playing catch up to Linux, but the Venn diagram of stuff FreeBSD can do but Linux can’t is tiny, especially if extra special kernel feature stuff is stubbed.

Can anyone name a project that is BSD first, doesn’t rely on BSD kernel features, doesn’t have a native Linux port, and isn’t a distro tool?

That was so badass. It’s really a crime how hard Disney fucked the sequel trilogy, but The Force Awakens was at least fun. The other two were hot garbage.

This is definitely about the D language, I just haven’t heard anything about in a long time (since Rust ate its lunch) and nothing about it using AI or long time devs leaving.

Was there drama with D? I’m out of the loop…

I think M-M-Monster Kill is more appropriate, even if it’s just one guy.

Do you think benchmark results like these are meaningful when comparing Linux distributions?

Almost never. Bumping the minimum architecture version and optimization levels is all well and good, but unless you’re doing tons of vector oriented workloads it’s not going to qualitatively make a difference.

Yeah, not a tankie but the PRC and the USSR were huge in lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and generally creating stability in parts of the world that effectively still practiced feudalism.

Doesn’t make them anti-imperial or excuse their more disastrous/evil decisions either.

First time tripping shrooms, eh?

I don’t think it’s misleading, you just have to know that “KDE Linux” is a distro, not the DE. If anything, poor choice on the devs for choosing such an overloaded name.

Yeah, I picked that up, but is that so novel it can’t just be a layer on DBus or something? Again, I don’t know shit, it’s just rich IPC seems like a solved problem at this point.

This is cool, love to see the Haiku / BeOS lineage playing nice with Linux. The graphics stack is ripe for experimentation in the KMS/Wayland era, although I don’t have enough knowledge of the architectural differences to know why this makes sense as an alternate stack and not just a compatibility layer built into a Wayland compositor…

Oh, that’s interesting. It is pretty distinct.

Like the energy, but Comic Sans is also a war crime.

Sure, I didn’t mean to post this at you or anything, the topic is just something I wrestle with on occasion and don’t really have a better answer for.

I am an anarchist, but prison is something that’s really hard to abolish entirely. Yes, you can eliminate huge amounts of “criminal” behavior by reorganizing society to be more just and less brutal, and I believe incarceration should be incredibly rare compared to other forms of correction repairing ones relationship with the community.

But in practice, without some form of incarceration, how do you deal with people who are acting against your society, and also have no stake in it? You can’t force them to make reparations, and if you exile them, they just go back to actively work against you.

What should the CNT-FAI have done with fascist POWs instead?
