  • I’m starting to think Wayland is the systemd of desktop graphic environments. Might be amazing eventually, but pushed onto the community too soon by opinionated devs who have fallen victim to the second-system effect.

    Mod me down, don’t care.

    Edit: Woohoo, into the ground! Mod me down further, and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine :p

    I don’t troll often, but when I do… it’s about Wayland and systemd. Nyah nyah.

    Honestly if Wayland will work 100% on my next setup and apps appear as expected, I won’t give a damn what system I’m using.



  • I haven’t kept up with it, but OpenCores is a balwark against this type of thing. FPGAs, while not as efficient as fab silicon, AFAIK lets one implement CPUs, interconnects and peripherals without any predefined channels to target for subversion. The NSA or other boogeymen couldn’t craft a backdoor for your FPGA CPU, since the FPGA is just a ‘blank slate’ until programmed so they have no idea even what to attack beforehand. The chip could be literally anything once programmed. FPGAs by design have to faithfully implement the basic gates, with no jiggery-pokery, otherwise it would be evident immediately that something was up. Right?
