Now that you mention it, there really has been like a year since rust has first been introduced the the kernel officially. I don't know if any parts of it have been written in rust as of now or whether new drivers have been made, but I suppose it's most likely still experimental in a way.

what do you mean? it's still being used in many many projects and is as great as ever

Oh my god, so many of my friends studying computer science try to complete entire projects using chatgpt without even understanding the basics and then fail miserably because they can't even properly form the prompt

True, but at least its engine, WebKit, is open source and a few other open-source browsers are based on it. Also it works on Linux.

y-yes

I use arch btw

Thank you, I really enjoy that theme @ass_destroyer@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I think the terminal should be in light mode tho to match the rest

Apparently nowadays they were able to extend the battery life quite a bit with the new generation of 61Wh batteries (instead of the previous 55Wh)

Just look at South Korea where Samsung's revenue is equal to a whopping 17% of the entire country's GDP, making them hold enormous power over politics, education, journalism and the legal system.

To be honest I expected nothing else from the Linux kernel as by now it's so widespread and essential to so many companies' operations that they need to have their dedicated developers to make patches and push new features into the kernel. The notable fact though is that Linux is licensed under GPL and somehow the companies still embraced it, so it's not as "toxic" to them as expected. I am aware of the fact that Linux and most other popular GPL projects are mostly contained to binaries and there's even one notable example with the ogg vorbis audio format where Richard Stallman himself decided that relincensing it under BSD license instead of the LGPL would improve its adoption over the patented MP3 so clearly GPL isn't always the right choice, but if people don't actively push for copyleft licenses then we'll forever be stuck in a world of companies actively blocking the spread of knowledge, selling us software filled with DRM and proprietary software, making insane profits, but graciously letting a few developers to contribute some of their company time back to these open source projects. I don't think it's fair and GPL may not be solution for all the problems, but what else it to be done?
