"In kernel development, debugging is very hard for several reasons:

  • Documentation is often hard to find, and BIOS implementations may be flawed (more often than you would think)
  • On boot, the kernel has full access to the memory and is allowed to write where it should not (its own code, for example)
  • Troubleshooting memory leaks is not easy. Tools such as valgrind cannot be used
  • gdb can be used with QEMU and VMWare, but the kernel may have a different behaviour when running on a different emulator or virtual machine. Also, those emulators may not support gdb (example VirtualBox)
  • Some features in the support for gdb in QEMU or VMWare are missing and gdb might even crash sometimes

All those issues are reasons for using a memory-safe language, to avoid them as much as possible.

Overall, the use of Rust in the kernel allowed for the implementation of a lot of safeguards. And I believe that it is, to this day, the best decision I have made for this project."

Diaspora allows for whitelisting visibility of posts to certain users(and servers.. depending on where users are hosted)

POS does not consume resources.
This goes to show how low-effort the criticism campaigns are.
However... all cryptos have their health tied to bitcoin which is a large energy consumer. So the point is actually still very true (due to some other reason).

This is what flatpak brings to the table

Diaspora has private groups. But many downsides.
For example.. discovering people, first involves sharing with them.
