We really need to have a mainstream desktop microkernel operating system because: 1. no need anymore for kernel bypass mechanisms (too many to name for linux, btw) 2. decoupling of drivers from the kernel 3. instead of waiting for a backpor

Because Redox's aim is to be as little non-Rust as possible. I agree it'd be ill-advised to rewrite seL4 rather than use it, even though it's been a while since a revision was verified, because it's been battle tested, i

Yeah, I wish they had teamed up with Robigalia in order to build on seL4 or at least translated that 1:1 to Rust, foregoing the verified nature of seL4.

Do you know of an icon set conversion of those that would work with gtk3? Even most icon themes that work with gtk2 are incorrectly structured for gtk3, with wrong icons display for, say, +/- controls. Using the ugly Adwaita set becaus

I am one of those X11-only, no-toolkit Emacs users. The only times I need gtk support is when I run a variant build with gtk3 support in order to have a native Wayland window which doesn't require Xwayland. But I primarily use X11 so t

Sure, that's why I asked if there's topic branch, even if now obsolete, which I could merge into the 25.1 branch. I'll do some digging, since this seems to be a single commit from what I can tell.

Can we get this in 25.1.2 or in a branch/commit on top of 25.1 for those of use who don't want to track trunk's development, given how long the reschedule schedule is? The patch from the list didn't the apply cleanly, bu

I have tenkeyless cherry mx keyboard already, but I know there have been tenkeyless model M's in the past, which is what I was interested in.

I tried and failed to get comfortable with thinkpad trackpoints, so if it's anything like that, I'm afraid it will just sit there unused.

I'm just grateful pc gamers' realization of the benefits of proper key mechanisms has led to more production when it seemed like mechanical keyboards were only marketed in the enterprise. There was a time when flat rubber keyboard

IBM used to make tenkeyless Model M's, wish Unicomp would offer the same since I'm very used to having the mouse closer to my hands. Then I could give a Model M a serious try, having used Cherry MXes for two decades, with the occa

I cannot type comfortably on anything but MX black or browns, so I wasn't able to use an ergonomic keyboard yet. There's one company in Australia that builds to order ergonomic keyboard with mx keys, but the price is in the same r

I've just realized that both Dave and Thomas have been focusing on the topic of abuse prevention, while my comments concern fixing the inexcusably wrong treatment of victims. That must be source of the major misunderstanding here. Huh.

On Thinkpads you can disable the routing of signals of the mic and camera in the firmware. Afterwards, it's not available to the kernel. Whether that's somehow hackable via a UEFI bug I don't know, but there are also laptops

Thanks, now that you point it out, I can see how that part can overshadow the whole comment and be read in a way I didn't intend to. I'll aim to do better in future comments. I admit that I'm less prepared to comment in a min

It's unfortunate that's how you read my comment, and I take full responsibility for failing to write an unambiguous comment. I did not mean to blame the victim, and don't think I did, but I'm willing to improve the wordi

You're right. In some communities it's enough for a police car to come to your house for the neighborhood to treat you differently.

My point was that the structure of said society may lend itself more to facilitate the events leading to the inexcusable, tragic result. That said, there have also been harassment/bullying (not comparing, equalizing the events, to be c

And it may not have helped that the place in question has tribalism in place which classifies persons by their heritage in ways that are unimaginable to most of the HN crowd.

Given that iSight and Facetime HD cameras required drivers and firmware to get running under Linux, I would be positively surprised if the new camera is easier to set up, meaning I don't think it works right now. Even the existing came

Thanks, I need to reread it, because I'm not sure who invokes the syscall. Quite possibly it's automated via an innocuous looking DDE invocation. Basically, I'm wondering what piece of code writes to the table and then makes

Windows Atom Tables are nothing special and are, like many APIs invented for other features, very old. Think using lookup for DLLs in the same dir as the program or autorun.ini as similar old feature that were abused as attack vectors. htt
