I agree. E-mail is the original federated service. And 50 years later e-mail spam remains a big problem. I hope Fedi projects can get spam mitigations on-par with email before spammers start getting serious about this place.

America and Europe have been supposedly allied since WW2. That’s “no longer” the case, now more obvious than ever before.

Linux royalty backs adoption of Rust for kernel code

跳过

Moving from C to C++ would also not solve any real problem. C++ of course adds OOP which I think can be nice (not everyone agrees with this!) but it also adds an insane amount of language complexity and instability. Mentally reasoning about C code is hard, reasoning about C++ code is nearly impossible.

Rust however brings a novel solution to classes of problems like ownership and mutability with the borrow checker. It's now accepted to be a great tool for writing high performance code while preventing a substantial amount of common, but often subtle, bugs from slipping through. It's not arbitrarily the first non-C code to be accepted in the kernel. And it's used in other operating systems like Android and Windows already.

Not letting me reject trackers without paying is some real garbage..

Steam Deck update gets a small battery life boost with the Frame Limiter

Duh, I missed that it was under Steam Input. Yeah, most likely that's just controller polling. Amazing that somehow saves 6% battery.

Oh, you refer only to this specific patch. I'm not 100% sure about this patch, but there are other kinds of polling rates, including a global kernel polling rate which greatly affects performance, and tweaking it might perhaps save battery life. And I just mean in general it appears Valve invests a lot of time into mobile power efficiency and I wonder if some makes it upstream.

It has been my experience, which seems generally accepted online, that Linux is greatly outclassed by Windows when it comes to power efficiency on laptops during normal usage. So contributions of new ways in which power efficiency could be improved would be great.

I wonder how many of these updates make it from Steam Deck into mainstream Linux. Because my Deck lasts a lot longer on battery power than my Linux laptop does.

You're not wrong, though I'm not so sure about blaming "welfare teat-sucking". EU right wingers in many countries have pushed hard for decades to slowly dismantle the welfare state, while also neglecting European security. The rich helped the rich get richer, and everyone else is paying the price. Clink clink.
