Dillo browser

IMPORTANT NOTICE ⚠️

(Boosts appreciated)

The package for will be removed from the repositories in two weeks.

https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/issues/230

The current maintainer seems to be unable to continue taking care of it, and I'm not familiar with Debian packages to maintain it myself.

Is there a Debian maintainer who could help us by adopting it? We already have a working package:

1 year ago I switched from Mac to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible:
- Why I switched to Linux
- How you can do the same.

I cover design-specific concerns like:
- How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux
- Which design tools are available and how to install them
- How to find help if you get stuck

@bagder I use it a lot for UDS sockets when doing automated kernel testing. Is that in the list?

@chez14 Yeah, I think this should be one of first things to learn with Rust ;-) It has super-accessible documentation.

I'm getting allergic to "immutable state". It's like a cancer ;-)

Usually that is by itself "a thing" with no context of an application.

Is it too obnoxious to say that I zero care about immutable. I've just barely got used to keeping SELinux enforced and not looking for extra complications for my machines 🤷

Do you like sex? YOU'RE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS COUNTRY, says the freakyfreaky, clammy-handed incels at the Heritage Foundation who can't wait to surveil your periods, architects of Trump's Project 2025, WHICH WILL PUT AN END TO ALL THAT "senseless" use of birth control.

@tdelmas GCC is not just licensing wise important. There's bunch of weird embedded hardware etc. where GCC is the only supported toolchain. For that to gain Rust support would be improvement. Often these companies are also conservative to make any changes to their years long status quo.

I think at least two compilers for any possible widely used system programming language is optimal because that keeps innovation happening in the internals and adds some healthy competition to the sauce.

@tdelmas I'd be interested to check like how my own user space programs compile with it and maybe even try to fix any possible issue but so far I have zero clue where to start :-)

@tdelmas yes obviously. My guess is that "the year of Rust" in kernel won't happen before we can use GCC to compile Rust.

I've tried to find some instructions on how to test GCC-Rust but still puzzled how to get it setup for Fedora :-) I don't have any picture where it is at.

I wish that some day #Bitwig will have #wavetable editor like #Cubase has: https://www.steinberg.help/r/halion/7.0/en/halion/topics/wavetable_synthesis/wavetable_editor_r.html

Feels retarded to have spawn #Serum just for the sake of editing wavetables. This is actually trend. Many DAW's have added wavetable oscillators but no means for editing them. Like why even bother? Totally useless feature without the editor part.

#FM8 is still useful today. I don't use it to play anything but it is best tool and workflow to design patches for any other #FM synth (also for hardware synths) because it has such a great visualization of the interconnections and envelopes:

WordStar 7, the last ever DOS version, is re-released for free

Before WordPerfect, the most popular work processor was WordStar. Now, the last ever DOS version has been bundled and set free by one of its biggest fans.

One forgets today how massive WordPerfect and WordStar were in their days. In fact, anyone ...continues
