Everybody ignores some GPL requirements. For example the following one:

> a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices > stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

Look at any GPL project. Do they have "prominent notices" in all files modified by someone who is not the initial author? For every person who modified them?

How long would be the list of dates alone for files that are often modified?

It's logical to skip that step.

As long as the systems programming tasks are strictly sequential, without threads, coroutines or signal handlers.

There is more to memory access than just out-of-bounds access which could be solved by just allocating every accessed memory page on demand as a slightly alteration of your variant.

I think "The parser would hypothetically be implemented in C++" would be more correct as this looks more like an empty skeleton with hypothetical benchmarks.

> "Security through Omission" model

I guess a systems-level programming language that omits the implementation like Orbit is indeed more secure, but also not very useful.

- compiler used for building the distribution, - libc implementation, - C++ standard library implementation, - coreutils implementation, - system shell, - kernel (e.g., using Hurd), - PAM or equivalent, - util-linux, - package manager,

and so on. systemd is just one more thing in that looong, looong list.

I don't think so: there are Debian forks that aspire to fight against the horrors of GNOME, systemd, Wayland and Rust, but they don't attract people to work on them.

Reminds me of sites that required ActiveX to run arbitrary code on the user side when visiting a web site outside a sandbox. Turned out to not be ideal from a security point of view.

But I guess `ssh -X` users still miss those times...

> Rust is already a hard requirement on all Debian release architectures and ports except for alpha, hppa, m68k, and sh4 (which do not provide sqv).

And just like with the kernel the fallback gets removed eventually.

The other mentioned architectures hppa, m68k and sh4 are at a similar level.

You can of course add your own "apt" binary in /usr/local/bin/apt which can be written in any language you like, say COBOL, Java, Common Lisp or Python.

Please don't make up wrong facts that would be trivial to check first.

All minimal Debian installations include bash as it is an essential package. Where essential is used in the sense of https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#esse...

That's not how open source software development works.

I wasn't asked by Linus whether ipchains should become the default over ipfirewall nor whether iptables should become over ipchains.

I wasn't asked whether GCC should use C++ instead of C as the language to build GCC itself.

I can go on with lots of examples.

Why should APT be different and require the maintainers to fork their own project do introduce changes? Why should an undefined "community" (who is that? apparently not the APT developers...) decide? Does this have to be done for every code change in APT?

False claims don't really make the claims about the evils of Rust more believable.

Lol, charliebrownau's antisemitic mails don't get blocked, they get approval:

Seems like a party is going on in the Nazi bar of "well behaving adults" as you call them.

I'll stop discussing with you defending antisemitism, "investigating" preteens and conspiracy bullshit (including the antisemitism). Feel free to enjoy further discussions with folks like charliebrownau or metux in the Xlibre community.

I think overall Xlibre is still a win for the Linux community as the toxic parts of the community like those mentioned above hopefully leave for Xlibre or related projects. I fully support you attracting all the charliebrownaus.

I guess the Lunduke and XLibre community proudly branding preteen children as "pedophiles" after thorough "investigations" into said children is an important part of being "pedo-free"? Just as the other mail is an important part of being free of antisemitism?
