Can we just eliminate bad actor nation states like China and Israel from the Internet? Filter all packets coming from or going to there, have the backbone spyware sever proxy connections, etc? One year the first time, forever with repeat offenders.
It's all gotten too complicated, clearly the direction of Linux is controlled by big companies who are mainly interested in the datacenter. I used OpenBSD because it's still Unix, it's not trying to become something it's not, or change itself to suit whoever pumps in the money.
I always run the water in the bathroom and kitchen until it's super cold, letting me know I've gotten to the stuff fresh out of the main. But I was trained to do this because when I was a kid we had some lead pipes in our home, heh.

There were no lead water pipes in our home but lead pipes were used to couple gas meters to iron pipes presumably to make installation easier. What was worrying was that all the street water mains were made of asbestos cement.
Decades ago, when I first traveled to France to visit relatives I noticed that all the water plumbing in their home was lead.
When I commenced on it and the dangers they thought I was a little eccentric and commented that that was the norm in that area of Paris and no one had become sick from the lead pipes.
My only comment is that my French cousins who are roughly the same age as I am are much smarter than me. (Pb is supposed to dull the brains of kids so what went wrong here?)
Unless the water doesn't have the appropriate corrosion inhibitors, like what happened in Flint. Then it'll leech out. It's common that it will be coated in minerals, but it's no guarantee.
It would be very informative to compare the chemical composition of the water in Flint with that as I described in Paris. The immediate observation is that with Flint the Pb was already in the water, presumably with Paris the supply was clean (or comparatively so) and the only chance for it to get into the water would be household pipes.
Clearly the French weren't overly concerned about it. Like most of the EU they overregulate everything and presumably would have mandated the pipes be changed if they thought them a problem.
Or if the corrosion inhibitors actually cause more lead to be leached like the water treatment lab found in Madison, WI, so they rejected the plan and replaced the lead pipes instead
I don’t like the idea of acidic coffee inside the aluminum, it seems like your average consumer just doesn’t know, or care, about exposure to aluminum through this vector though.
The long line support improvement could be a game changer. I’m less interested in tree sitter and pixel-scroll seems like a nightmare - emacs users know how screwed up scrolling is already especially in large buffers.
I’m just glad that you can still compile a minimal emacs without dbus.
Canon and Nikon both sell verification kits which can be used to cryptographically prove that a photo wasn't tampered with. Although these kits cost money, it seems it's just a flash drive with special software on it.
