First Albatross, First Out

Ah yes, the "extended Berkeley Packet Filter".
Wikipedia:

eBPF is a technology that can run programs in a privileged context such as the operating system kernel.

Phoronix:

Hornet uses a similar signature verification scheme similar to that of kernel modules. A pkcs#7 signature is appended to the end of an executable file. During an invocation of bpf_prog_load, the signature is fetched from the current task's executable file. That signature is used to verify the integrity of the bpf instructions and maps which where passed into the kernel. Additionally, Hornet implicitly trusts any programs which where loaded from inside kernel rather than userspace, which allows BPF_PRELOAD programs along with outputs for BPF_SYSCALL programs to run.

So this is to make kernel-level instructions from userspace (something that's already happening) more secure.

The thread linked by the OP is Jarkko Sakkinen (kernel maintainer) seemingly saying "show your work, your patch is full of nonsense" in a patch submitted for review to the Linux kernel.
Edit: the OP has edited the link, it used to point to this comment in the mailing list chain.

I see a lot of overlap from where I'm standing.

You got me curious, so I looked it up.
This isn't a "let me google that for you", it's an "I'm joining you on this journey".

Looks like you drop a .desktop file into ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus.
Name the file extensions, write your Exec= line, fill in a couple other details like what icon to use and what it should be called in the right-click menu, save it, and you're done.
I imagine it's similar in xfce.

You're right! But also, horses were native to North America but they went extinct 10,000 years ago and weren't introduced until much more recently.

Yes.
That's the list of things I know I should be doing but can't.

I feel a sense of ownership over my OS. I tinker, I experiment, I break things and sometimes I fix them.
I still get mad, but it's our problem. We got here together and I know that we can do better.
Windows feels like renting. The landlord only shows up when I'm not ready, fixes stuff that wasn't broken, doesn't fix any of the things that I need fixed, keeps raising the rent and installing hidden cameras. If I want to fix anything, it costs way more, is way harder because the landlord won't tell me where anything is, gets un-fixed every time the landlord visits, and after all that it's just fixing someone else's house.

Dear god

Good old Bobby Droptables

I hate those condescending "goodwill gestures"
