In my experience it Just Works ™️. I spin up a distro/toolbox, compile some software (e.g. Emacs) then run the executable inside the container, and up pops the GUI window.
If you use distrobox, you can even distrobox-export desktop files, at which point a containerised gui application is practically indistinguishable from one installed on the host system
Its just the symbol The Register uses at the end of an article. Like how some papers use a filled in square.
Kotlin targets the JVM right? I think you'd need either a port of the runtime (dalvik?) Or an api translation later a la WINE.
But I don't actually know anything, so don't listen to me. Having a fully Foss phone with support for the android app ecosystem would be wonderful though
I always thought that people using searx etc over duckduckgo were just gluttons for punishment. Having gone an entire morning without search, maybe now is the time to dive down that rabbit hole...
Machine learning is just gradient descent through a subset of algorithm-space
Whilst I've heard lots of talk that lunduke is getting increasingly politica, and I disagree quite strongly with his politics, I'll have to agree with him here. IA did something unnecessarily risky (redistributing unauthorised copies of print books), which has more jeopardised their mission of archiving the internet.
I also agree with everyone here saying that current copyright laws are ridiculous (and not just because they are "outdated", the Victorians had better copyright laws than we do). However, I think only the most radical overhaul of copyright law would condone what IA did, and that isn't coming any time soon (If ever).
There's a former apple designer on the team I think, which they've been leaning into hard to get the hype train rolling.
How bloody dare you!
Thanks, fixed! (TIL you need the https:// bit on Lemmy)
There is, they just don't publicise it. Actually one of my favourite features of the service tbf. Just load up a web page and all my messages are there, regardless of where they came from.
Iirc microkernels have been the future since before Linux existed. There was a bit of a flame war between Linus and the guy who wrote the MINIX kernel about how being monolithic would be the death of Linux.
GNU Hurd also wanted to show the world how good microkernels could be, but sadly never got off the ground.
I'm not saying microkernels are bad, but I do wonder if there's some reason we don't see them out in the wild much.
Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't find the "chip makers don't have to pay licence fees" a compelling argument that RISC-V is good for the consumer. Theres only a few foundries capable of making CPUs, and the desktop market seems incredibly hard to break into.
I imagine it's likely that the cost of ISA licencing isn't what's holding back competition in the CPU space, but rather its a good old fashioned duopoly combined with a generally high cost of entry.
Of course, more options is better IMO, and the Linux community's focus on FOSS should make hopping architectures much easier than on Windows or MacOS. But I'd be surprised if we see a laptop/desktop CPU based on RISC-V competing with current options anytime soon.
