Yes, it is, and over 50% of Linux CVEs are memory-safety related.

A ton of stuff related to eBPF, last I saw.

It makes it so that your mirror would have to be exploiting apt, instead of effectively anyone. As a result, using TLS for downloads would mitigate this (but not fix it). I've read the arguments against HTTPS for apt many times. They&#

I find the touchscreen support to be pretty good with Fedora's patches running on Wayland. I think these patches are slated for upstreaming, so get excited! Disclaimer: I contribute to Firefox and enjoy it quite a bit.

Also, since Fedora is primarily an integration project, many users report bugs upstream.

It really isn't that ridiculous that someone who has worked as a network engineer for a decade would use Erlang, C++, and Go. Even Haskell isn't too much of a stretch, considering the user's company has functional programming

In your particular example, the ownership system would help here, since `foo` is consumed by `doBazWithFoo`. (Only exception is when `foo` is `Copy`.)

In Rust, you're supposed to use `unicode-segmentation`[1] if you need to split on logical character (grapheme cluster in the Unicode standard). Otherwise, the iterators `.bytes` emits raw bytes, and `.chars` emits UTF-8 codepoints. Bas

In retrospect, you're correct. I should have said "WR reduces the cost of the paint/composite cycle".

I'm going to offer a different explanation, but first, the standard one: Mozilla doesn't want to miss a paradigm shift, especially one where the only players currently in it are very proprietary. They learned their lesson with mob

That's also a problem, though, because an attacker just needs a large number of nodes to effectively control the currency, which is not challenging or necessarily costly (see: Mirai). Doesn't stop the hardware race that leads to c

On Fedora, there's a system Python interpreter installed at `/usr/libexec/system-python` that is used to run Python tools installed in the base system like `dnf`. On my F29 system, it's version 3.7. You can't i

Red Hat does not own anything that's valuable aside from their developers, who chose to work at Red Hat due to their pro-FOSS positioning. If IBM chose to start shutting projects like Fedora down or move in the direction of closed-sour

For these "pet containers", Fedora has been building this: https://github.com/debarshiray/fedora-toolbox . The Toolbox is built on top of runc, but uses it to run a mutable container. I'm excited about Si

Right now, this is automatically enabled based on whether the application runs in a Flatpak sandbox. I spoke with GTK developers on IRC, and while they want to enable it by default, there are some unresolved issues, summarized in this Reddi

In case this is serious, 64-bit builds of Firefox have been produced officially for a while.

The environment variable only works with apps using GtkFileChooserNative, a GTK3-only API that landed in GTK 3.20. (In Firefox, my patch will fall back if you have an older version of GTK3.) GtkFileChooserNative was designed for use by sand

It should be possible to build this with an extension, but I haven't tried. That being said, there are a few alternatives. Firefox Top Sites supports search engines, as described in https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox&#x2F

This depends on what `xdg-desktop-portal` DBus service is running on your setup. In most non-DE environments, there is no `xdg-desktop-portal`, and as a result, GTK will automatically fall back to GTK file selectors. If you'd like to u

I don't know about that. This particular environment variable is handled by GTK, not Firefox.

Kind of a niche thing to comment on, but this release lands a commit I made that enables XDG desktop portals support in Firefox. If you're on KDE Plasma, you can run Firefox with the environment variable `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1` set and it w
