but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.

Maybe.

Still, there are other sources of bugs beyond memory management.

And i'd rather have GPL-ed potentially unsafe C code to... closed-source Rust code.

I fear moving away from GPL that moving to Rust seems to bring, but Rust does fix real memory issues.

So you prefer closed-source code to potentially unsafe open-source code?

Take the recent rsync vulnerabilities for example.

Already fixed, in software that's existed for years and is used by millions. But Oh no, memory issues, let's rewrite that in

<language of the month>

as long as the linux kernel is still gpl.

I seem to recall some drama about rust in the kernel... what could that mean...

I don’t actually get the joke with clbuttic, though.

Replacing "ass" everywhere with "butt".

See other comments: all these rewrites are not using the GPL but rather permissive licenses like MIT. Bye-bye FOSS (in those ecosystems).

Kinda like a full 180° back to UNIX™.

The access is limited but of course...

This in an interesting watch.
Can't wait to have 3-4 constellations in LEO. /s

I'm happy with FeedBro (browser extension), very customizable.

Wrong target audience, Bob.

Microwave. Strong magnets. Drills. Scrapyard shredders. Volcanoes.

Does Dokuwiki count?

Actually I think that term was coined by Windows 98 for hardware you could connect and it would Just work™ (I.e. without the need to install drivers).

It's like a vinyl record, but fancier.

I.democratically hate all smart TVs.

So does my dumb TV. No subscriptions.

What account?

I'd mean people who don't know linux in particular but are marginally tech-savy.
Mint has been described as "the distro your granny can use" (and some do), but it does require some knowledge to at least install it — but it's nothing a tutorial somewhere won't help with, it's a low bar.

You're probably thinking of PairDrop (which also allows extranet).
