Thanks Brodie! It is clear you really understand where COSMIC is coming from and where we want it to go. A little negativity will not slow us down!

It is painful to me that I have seen a few big accounts say something to the extent of "why don't the Rust folks make their own kernel." Either they are not aware of Redox OS or they are ruling it out for unknown reasons. I would appreciate elaboration.

So, is memory safety "woke" now?

2024-08-29 12:49:19

This kind of treatment is exactly why I started @redox_os from scratch and written primarily in Rust. There is a lot of resistance to even minor beneficial change in Linux and related projects. I don't even try to contribute to the Linux kernel anymore.

We have tagged all COSMIC repos with the tag epoch-1.0.0-alpha.1 to help packagers stay in sync without following unstable development. The Pop!_OS 24.04 Alpha 1 release will contain COSMIC at these versions, and we encourage distributions that want to co-release to have images ready on August 8th!

I grew up in Montgomery, Alabama. School taught us about heroes: Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr, the Tuskegee Airmen, George Washington Carver, and many others who lived in our state and changed history through their perseverance.
We were also taught about villains, the constant effort to maintain a society built on injustice where only one kind of people can be lifted up by the effort of all others.
Now, helped by school vouchers and "parental choice", the villains can erase this history.

This is similar to my feelings about both-sideism in the upcoming US election, see the alt text. We need ranked choice voting, but we do not have it. Donald Trump can win, and with that will come a large set of executive overstepping on day one.
I will not protest vote. I will not vote for a third party, no matter how much better they are. I will not abstain from voting. I will vote for Joe Biden.
