I'm sorry, but which ones of these are complex? I'm looking through some [1] [2] [3] of the output PNGs and they look trivial. Like, my first 3d model in Blender trivial. In comparison, here's one of my recent designs: what I

I agree that new software should avoid memory unsafe languages, but I would disagree that rewriting existing projects in a memory safe language at all cost is a universally good idea.

No matter how I look at this, it's churn for the sake of churn. Even if the translation was free and into ideal idiomatic Rust (and it's obviously not - it's now Zig with Rust syntax) then this would be churn for the sake of

You don't need a kernel LPE to root a Linux developer machine. Just alias sudo to sudo-but-also-keep-password-and-execute-a-payload in ~/.bashrc and wait up to 24 hours. Maybe also simulate some breakage by intercepting other comm
