So in principle Linux needs to build fully:

1. In GCC
2. In LLVM

This because there is need to be agile and robust with toolchains and it is higher priority than language support.

And the existing problem with Rust is that a kernel compiles either with:

1. In GCC + LLVM
2. In LLVM

This blocks Rust features from defconfigs, which simply mean that they cannot turned by default on.

Fixing this problem is more important than fixing any other possible problem with Rust because it is environmental constraint.

This is exactly why gccrs is important and it is good to see substantial progress being made:

lwn.net/Articles/991199/

The progress in gccrs factor over any Rust code in kernel in my opinion because it enables the *production value* for it.

PS. Just wanted to point out the actual issue because I did not spot anything at all from Plumbers :-) Weird because this is something that actually matters, not the stuff how people feel about programming language X.

This is the question i made on the Linux mint discord yesterday. If someone has an answer, i could at least use that, even if a bit blurry.

Tiger in Town by Robin Darius Conz (Germany)

This image focuses on a tiger on an Indian hillside against the backdrop of a town where forests once grew. The protected areas in the Western Ghats, where tigers are carefully monitored, are some of the most biodiverse landscapes in India and have a stable population of tigers.

Thunderbird for Android is go – at least the beta is

theregister.com/2024/10/09/thu…

A traditional-style rich email client – but for phones & tablets

← by me on @theregister

I signed up for the beta. I've used TB as my desktop client since god was a boy and I'm hoping TB for Android will gradually get more like it.

I played around with K9 before, but ultimately settled on AquaMail, which I've used on Android for a good few years now.

I'm really trying to like the TB beta but I still much prefer the AquaMail UI. I have it set up so the main window is like two of the three panes of the TB desktop setup - folders on the left, message list for the selected folder on the right.

You can't currently emulate this on TB beta (AFAIAA) Because even with the folder list open, you can only display one account at a time (plus the unified inbox, if enabled).

#Russia military channel responds to one overzealous reader who already sees Russian flags in Slovyansk with a detailed analysis of #Ukraine fortifications on the #Pokrovsk direction. This is all open-source data built mostly based on satellite images and photos posted by Ukrainian HQ, so no secrets are revealed here. It helps understand that Russian advances in Donbas are not result of Ukraine’s armed forces weakness or collapse, but previously unseen concentration of Russian resources and that they are making these gains at excessive price, which their military experts do understand. The channel posted the photos with a comment “FABs alone don’t win wars” (FAB - glide bomb) and “all that needs to be walked by our infantry, boots on the ground”.

They posted much more, with some commentary in Russian, if you’re interested - I just reposted the high-scale maps:

Yes, and that’s why most of Eastern Europe is now in NATO since 2000’s and exactly why Ukraine also wanted to join.

You are changing the context.

Those are not "Russian threats". We have far passed the point of threats and posturing. Ukraine is at war with Russia, and there are a large number of deaths, injures, acts of crimes, unspeakable suffering and losses.

Th EU, the NATO, the UN - name any other global good-doer organization you like - they are all rotten, compromised, corrupt, reeking of incompetency. You think all those fucking organizations should have resolved this, instead of keep it going, keep it escalating?

Look around you, our entire Civilization is falling apart, and its all due to LEFTIST policies of the last 80 years or so. This is no longer about what country is going to disintegrate next - it is about how much longer our Human Civilization is able to keep the lights ON.

You think Ukraine joining NATO going to solve anything? If you do, let's mute each other because I am pretty tired of reading your nonsense.
