Sure flatpak have a static permission system too, even it is not recommended and xdg portals are the way of integrating with a host.

JEP 504: Remove the Applet API
Glad to see this being removed. Java plugins especially on Linux were awful and required by tons of corporate stuff. Anyone remeber IcedTea Web? A functional and opensource Java plugin and Java Webstart implementation?

At this moment ReactOS guys should consider distributing their apps separatelly from their bundle.

We have been banned from using Ami Pro for writing a technical reports on my highschool in late 90s and required to write them by hand as an attempt to combat copy&pasting. We "shared" all the calculations in the class anyway, so it haven't worked well.

> I don’t feel like a consumer, but a janitor. I don’t want this.
I think it was Jorge Castro, the creator of Universal Blue, who called it the sysadmin culture. Most Linux distros are made by sysadmins for sysadmins, and you're expected to change and configure your system. I was a sysadmin myself for a long time. I used Slackware; switched from the 2.4 kernel to 2.6; tweaked CFLAGS on Gentoo; replaced SysV init with systemd; used PipeWire from the earliest versions - you name it, I did it.
Nowadays I use https://aeondesktop.github.io/ - an immutable system with Btrfs snapshots. Everything is installed from Flathub. The major roadblock is that much of the Linux world expects you to modify the system one way or another, so your mileage may vary. I replaced my printer because I did not wanted to install binary blobs from HP/Samsung.
> Perhaps I haven’t found «the right distro»
I’d look at immutable or image-based offerings, which aims at low or no maintenance: Aeon Desktop, Universal Blue, Endless OS. There are reviews on sites like LWN.net

It really depends. I learned Lua in order to contribute to kulala plugin for neovim and found the language nice and easy to learn.
Of course it has its warts, but given the topic, almost everything is better than a vimscript imho.

https://github.com/mistweaverco/kulala.nvim is an another restish (it can do gRPC to) plugin for neovim. It is intended to be compatible with a Jetbrains as much as possible.

Shameless plug. I had experimented with Go iterators a while ago and did a https://github.com/gomoni/it
It was updated to 1.23, so it is as idiomatic as I can get. And yes it has a map method between two types. Just a single simple trick used.

I believe libkrun is the tech behind.

Why bother with Varlink IPC, and why now?
The Varlink IPC has been around for a while, but recently we started using it heavily in systemd. In this talk I'd like to explain what Varlink IPC is, and why we are now adopting it so heavily. And I also want to explain why I think that Varlink is a good candidate as IPC of choice for any Linux software, both low-level and higher-level. We'll compare it with D-Bus in particular, and highlight where it shines (and where it doesn't shine so much).

Well written list of what made Go better language during last years. I'd add iterators, the recent big thing from Russ.
