> That increase is despite adding features slowly down a lot. A massive monolithic kernel written in a memory unsafe language is a bigger liability than ever.
rust in the kernel is in the corner like “am I a joke to you”
it’s uhhh real rich that the AOSP fork suddenly has a problem with a massive monolithic kernel written in a memory unsafe language now that LLMs are on the table
and the solution is just LLMs, only that. not fixing the massive, monolithic, or unsafe language bits at all. making them much worse, in fact. thanks!
also, here’s how much you can trust that they’re only using it strictly for reviews:

> The AGENTS.md talks about the bot writing new code. On the available evidence I don't actually believe they're not coding with it.
not that “only doing using it for reviews” gets good results. you end up programming the way the LLM insists you should anyway. reviewing like this is exhausting and quality goes straight into the toilet. most people just cognitively surrender to the bot after a bit. this is an extremely common methodology in professional code, and it’s the reason why half the software you use right now fucking sucks.

@hazelnot @avesbury_rosetta @zzt The Linux ecosystem has the potential for it, though; it just needs to be realized with openness, and empowering users in mind instead of the way Google decided to do it.
@ariarhythmic
@hazelnot @zzt
If I recall the main limitations in Linux are- Lack of proper hardening in the stock kernel, including the memory hardening that Graphene does
- Lack of a MAC by default, like Apparmor or SELinux
These can be fixed

@zzt I have zero idea what you're talking about but I am here for the piss and fire.

"It's a new developer we hired"Why did they hire them, if not to slop?

@avesbury_rosetta @hazelnot @zzt The very design of Linux is a horrible mess, it's not really about incremental hardening improvements.
It can be secure, yes, since GrapheneOS is secure, but honestly, we really need a better kernel project.

@aspensmonster I used to have that reaction, but this has got to be the third or fourth time something I wished I could have used/bought/migrated to full-on corrupted. (Versus the two or three times something I'm currently using blew up in my face.)
Now I'm at a constant "fuck it" and my throat feels better.

@AnarchoNinaWrites yo @davidgerard we’ve got a second channel idea for pivot and at least one subscriber!
more or less what we do on awful.systems but in video form. actually not a bad idea at all, do we know anyone with a good voice for it?

if you’re in infosec or pretending to be in infosec and you’re about to start gooning in this thread with the contents of anthropic’s marketing campaign for mythic, a model whose results are shit: reconsider
reconsider a lot of things, really

gotta use the wrongness machine, no sorry, “frontier models” because the coptech adversary is using them and also mythic’s great at finding vulnerabilities til you find out you can do the same job without it. great! https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/117226938743085364
@zzt Looks like GrapheneOS is out as a possible OS for my old Pixel phone.

@avesbury_rosetta @zzt we need mobile linux, to start with. Android is a non-open, user-adversarial dead end. It takes a special kind of wrong mindset to be as determined to work on, and advocate for it, as GrapheneOS
@ariarhythmic @avesbury_rosetta @zzt Now that there's slop in the Linux kernel too, it might make sense to start completely from scratch (while maybe keeping Linux/POSIX compatibility to tap into the existing applications).
It's what I want to do too. Working title is KittyOS, an operating system built around end-user accessible scripting and programming features. I'm currently already developing the programming language for that, see the #Kittyscript hashtag or the repo at https://codeberg.org/LunaDragofelis/kittyscript-kotlin if you're curious. (TLDR: it's supposed to become an ultimate, all purpose, hyper-extensible programming language for everything from kernels to scripts.) -

@zzt I wonder what the situation is with other custom ROMs. I hope LineageOS hasn't ruined their work either
