Canonical is Funding a PhD to Automate C to Rust Translation for Ubuntu in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] 69 points 1 month ago* (18 children)

IMO this rust shit is just an attempt to convert a GPL licensed ecosystem into the Corpo-CHUD preferred MIT license.

Just like with Clang, the Corpo is simply intolerably offended by being asked to contribute back to the community.

    X11 vs Wayland in c/linux@lemmy.ml
    [–] 4 points 4 months ago*

    You can run either. The truth is depending on what you want to do, what hardware you running, and software versions you have available, your experience will be very different.

    Personally I run X11 because I'm used to it. It's extremely stable and the failure points are well known.

    The waylandism design really bothers me, and so does the attitude of waylandists. Throwing stuff that works away for no reason, chasing some sort of Android trash ecosystem dream that's never going to happen.

    Whatever man, you're taking xgamma away from me over my dead body. cocks shotgun. Come and get it.

    Downloads making Firefox increasingly sluggish during downloading files (lemmy.ml)

    I'm running the Ubuntu snap version of Firefox and recently I've had a problem where the more files I download the more sluggish downloads become. When I download a file now, even a few KB, Firefox becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, including video in other windows freezing. For longer downloads, Firefox is unresponsive the entire time. During downloads Firefox uses 1 core 100% in htop and about:performance shows "Firefox" using 100%

    Clearing all data in settings doesn't help

    Clearing the list of downloaded files doesn't help.

    Deleting the profile fixes it, but the problem comes back as I download files.

    I have a policies.json file that sets some privacy related settings and installs 3 addons (uBlock0@raymondhill.net, treestyletab@piro.sakura.ne.jp, @testpilot-containers).

    I also have a hosts file that blocks all mozilla domains (except addons.mozilla.org)

    I have a fast CPU, tons of ram and a nvme drive.

    I'm not really sure how to debug this?

    Are PressTV and RT banned? Is there a list of banned sites and tech used? (lemmy.ml)
     

    I can't seem to access https://www.presstv.ir/ or https://www.rt.com/

    Are these banned in the UK?

    Is there a list of sites banned in the UK (whether by ofcom or any other agency or company)?

    I couldn't find any news stories or discussions about this. How does the UK banning people from being able to access foreign news sites apparently just fly under the radar?

    What is the technology used?

    Thanks.
