    (It reminds me of a Hungarian tech news/forum site which wrote (they probably still do, I just don't go there anymore lol) about Windows all the time, and highlighted each Linux vulnerability saying "see, that's why you should just stick to Windows" while they also wrote about Windows vulnerabilities so they contradicted themselves pretty noticably. And the sad thing is they have quite a lot of readers who are also brainwashed zombies shilling Windows in the comment section, and if a Linux user accidentally finds the way there, he/she quickly gets humiliated like crazy. So Linux users are the elitists? Hmm, not so sure about that lol)

  3. Redox gets installer improvements, merges new CPU scheduler

    Another month started almost two weeks ago, so we've got a new monthly report from Redox, the general purpose operating system written in Rust. The month of July - it seems the report was published with a bit of a delay, regardless of what the date on their site says - brought improvements to the installer, with new op

  5. Redox gets GTK3, Tcl

    Redox did the develop cools stuff thing again for a month, so we've got progress to talk about. This past month, GTK3 has been ported to Redox, as well as the Tcl programming language. Support for per-window fractional scaling has been added to Orbital, Redox' desktop environment, but it's still relatively limited for now. There's also new USB gamepad support, which already works in quite a few

  8. Xfce ported to Redox OS

    Redox progressed another month, and that means a ton of improvements and new features to talk about. The biggest news this past month is that Xfce has been ported to Redox, which offers a better X11 experience than MATE currently does. There's still some bugs but apparently is works quite well. The porting process for the COSMIC desktop environment also progressed, with COSMIC's new Monit

  10. @mastodonmigration @deFractal @Blender The name isn't as important as recruiting projects dedicated to human only contributions. There are plenty who have pledged to keep AI out, #RedoxOS for instance.

  11. Never mind just Linux; this would seem to raise serious issues for any group producing their own kernel without an army of lawyers on staff e.g. *BSD, RedoxOS, Graphene, ReactOS, Haiku, illumos and perhaps even plan9 and operating system textbooks and learning frameworks like FluxOSKit. There is furthermore some significant scariness about packets crossing borders rendering ppl liable for violations of all this when passing through spaces wherein USA agents may apprehend them.

  15. Redox gets new CPU scheduler

    Another major improvement in Redox: a brand new scheduler which improves performance under load considerably.

    We have replaced the legacy Round Robin scheduler with a Deficit Weighted Round Robin scheduler. Due to this, we finally have a way of assigning different priorities to our Process contexts. When running under light load, you may not notice any difference, but under

  16. Capability-based security for Redox: namespace and CWD as capabilities

    By reimplementing these features using capabilities, we made the kernel simpler by moving complex scheme and namespace management out of it which improved security and stability by reducing the attack surface and possible bugs. At the same time, we gained a means to support more sandboxing feature

    Redox, the rapidly improving general purpose operating system written in Rust, has amended its contribution policy to explicitly ban code regurgitated by "AI".

    Redox OS does not accept contributions generated by LLMs (Large Language Models), sometimes also referred to as "AI". This policy is not open to discussion, any content submitted that is clearly labe

  18. 🎉 Redox OS, the hipster operating system nobody asked for, is now proudly enforcing a Certificate of Origin and banning LLMs like it's the 1990s! 🚫📜 Because nothing says "cutting-edge" quite like retro bureaucracy and a firm stance against those pesky large language models. 😏💻
    gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/r #RedoxOS #RetroBureaucracy #NoLLMs #HipsterTech #CertificateOfOrigin #HackerNews #ngated

  19. For example, @redox is demonstrating how this is done practically.

    gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/r

    No AI generated code permitted, and attempts to bypass will result in a ban. Clear and straightforward.

  21. @pointlessone @rayk @tomekw There are frameworks in the making aiming for that, more over there are frameworks aiming at that with use of WebAssembly instead of JavbaScript on the browser side. It's just complex problem to crack. Rails is 21 years old.

    The point was you're focused on web frameworks ignoring tons of other stuff built from zero within last 5-6 years, including adding #Rust to #Linux Kernel, #RedoxOS, #Cosmic Desktop and embedded ecosystems.

  22. Redox gets NodeJS, COSMIC’s compositor, and much more

    February has been a busy month for Redox, the general purpose operating system written in Rust. For instance, the COSMIC compositor can now run on Redox as a winit window, the first step towards fully porting the compositor from COSMIC to Redox. Similarly, COSMIC Settings now also runs on Redox, albeit with only a very small numbe
