ladyanita22··on ESP32S3 cluster running 1.58-bit (BitNet) Language model
This is something I've been fantasizing about for long.

Let's say we took Rust, a language that makes parallelization easier than others (as it helps you avoid some common footguns). How difficult would it be to have a massively parallel computer system made out of many tiny, simple microcontroller-like chips? Let's say we picked many little Risc-V's. Surely this would be an interesting experiment (though I'm not sure whether it'd make economic sense or not...)

It is a choice indeed. Well worded.
ladyanita22··on Linux on Older Hardware: The Complete Revival Guide
Yeah, this is what always surprises me with modern software targeted towards low-specced computers.

Windows XP run fine in 256MB ram computers yet it could be altered to make it look fantastic, with the Royale or Royale Noir themes.

I guess even Linux back then could be made beautiful on similarly specced computers. Yet, AntiX or even LxQt is hideous despite consuming more resources!

I believe there were some efforts to port Rust to the Nintendo Switch as well.

I will pluralize as all of them port some drivers from Linux
ladyanita22··on The Future for Tyr, a Rust GPU Driver for Arm Mali Hardware
BSDs and other Open Source OSes that rely on Linux drivers.

Windows probably has not many (or any) drivers ported from Linux.

I think this is true. But that'd be nonetheless up to the subsystem maintainers.
ladyanita22··on Is Rust faster than C?
Rust has UB overflow as well, just unsafe.

ladyanita22··on Show HN: Xcc700: Self-hosting mini C compiler for ESP32 (Xtensa) in 700 lines
That's super cool! I have been wondering what could be done with ESP32 if it weren't for the lack of RAM.

As a fun of Rust, one thing that saddens me is knowing these things would be difficult to achieve with a Rust compiler, given the language seems to be vastly more complex.

Unless someone created a subset of Rust without (some?) safety checks, I guess.

Which distro supports partial upgrades? AFAIK no major distro supports it.

The only difference between Arch and any other regular distro is simply that in Arch there are no major upgrade versions, so any breaking changes you have to perform them manually. Period.

In the rest, they do it for you. But they update key components as well and/or stop getting updated at some point (same as not updating Arch).

For example, I am a happy Fedora user, but I don't get why they don't upgrade the Plasma or Gnome version in the same release but they do upgrade the kernel, when the kernel update may bring more breaking changes...

A PPA is suspicious of hosting ransomware.

FreeFileSync's Flathub flatpak, still live, has been mentioned in another subreddit to have had contributions from the same username that was promoting this PPA on Github (3ddruck12). He has been banned from Github.
