I beg to differ.

Consider using "reader view" / "reading mode"

I don't see any suspicious JS on the page, so I suspect it's a styling issue triggering some inefficiency in Firefox. There are animations and text-shadows.

has tree calculus been used to prove something interesting about something that is not tree calculus?

The kinds of things that you list that an attacker could do with root access don't sound like things that an actual attacker would want if they are infiltrating random people's personal computers for their own gain. Modifying the kernel or arbitrary programs is so far beyond what typical malware tries to do that I think it seems kind of silly to consider those things when evaluating the security of an operating system designed for personal computers.

I think you're just illustrating my point. Those concerns don't apply to personal computers and they don't stop an intruder from doing anything they might practically want to do for gain. Like installing ransomware, participating in a botnet, exfiltrating personal files/browser cookies/etc (all accessible as non-root!), ...

Why would an adversary being able to execute code as root on a personal computer be a bigger threat than their being able to execute code as non-root? Surely just about any of the stuff that a malicious hacker might want to do to someone's personal computer can be done without root... right?

From what I've seen it seems to be a very common opinion that the pro 3 is worse than the pro 1 and 2. Hopefully the new tip design is just a temporary indiscretion like the touch bar.

I think it could be made much faster by emulating Linux system calls instead of running a real kernel, and translating x86 binaries to wasm before running (using something like cheerpx).

> The first time you run a binary, it is translated from x86_64 to WebAssembly and that takes time.

If the binary is running under a real x64 linux kernel running in qemu, wouldn't that imply that the binary is never translated to wasm?

what is "PCC"?

It's because it's effectively impossible to make a markdown authoring app that meets everyone's needs, and people tend to be picky about what they want in a writing environment. People have strong preferences about WYSIWYG, flavor of markdown (pandoc/quarto/GFM/etc), theming support, some want notes to be able to link to each other, etc. As an example, I require math notation support for basically everything I write which automatically rules out 90% of markdown editors for me.
