This is Redox OS (@redox), a Rust and micro-kernel based operating system that I created, running three COSMIC DE apps (with only Rust dependencies) that I authored. Even the C library, relibc, is written in Rust.

Are we OS yet?

I think cosmic-term can do all of this except for sixel (and I'm open to implementing that too!)

I live in Colorado's 4th congressional district and, as an independent, can vote in one of the party primaries. Having a really hard time deciding if I should vote against Boebert in the Republican primary, or vote in the Democratic and hope she is crazy enough to lose.

> It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

this has nothing to do with microsoft recall! anybody you send stuff to can have it compromised. you message your high school friend, she gets caught at a protest, now cops have all that data

you can never control the data you give to somebody else, recall or not

The Right to Repair bill that just passed in Colorado is an amazing triumph for all consumers and one that System76 wholeheartedly supports as a local manufacturer of hardware.

I wish it didn't have any exceptions carved out for special interests, but still amazing progress!

"Geraldine Charbonneau Dubourt was one of nine sisters who said they were sexually or physically abused by priests at an Indian boarding school in Marty, S.D. She said that she was 16 when a Catholic priest repeatedly raped her in a church basement and that a doctor and several Catholic sisters later forced her to undergo an abortion."

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.

In case you forgot that Trump is terrible for Palestinians, in addition to all the other stuff he wants to help do (see Project 2025)

cosmic_bg_theme by my coworker Ashley sets up your COSMIC theme with a color palette derived from your background. I started using it with a rotating set of 4k backgrounds and it is pretty awesome!

I love seeing people go through COSMIC for the first time. It is always useful to see what worked well and what needs adjustment. If y'all have any questions about COSMIC, don't hesitate to ask, I wrote the editor, file manager, store, and terminal.

@soller Any idea when NVK will become generally available in Pop? Would love to ditch the nvidia drivers.

Any idea what the process of swapping from one to the other might look like?
