I am just going to say that it does not matter if the software is open or closed source. The people are going to pirate the thing, I mean like there are projects on linux that literally make the posibility of having a VM of MAC really easy.
I mean like I kind of understand the point that you are trying to put, but Apple is not trying to make software for industrial applications, they are making software for end users and AWS literally has nothing to do with that.
Hustle culture is a problem because of the romantization of the subject. A lot of people I know irl just want to work all day and not stop because they think that is the right thing.
This needs to stop, at least we are starting to stop and looking up at people like Elon[1]
[1] His work ethic is just to much for almost anybody.
As in graphics in the terminal? The way that works is through the draw(3) kernel device which is a 2d engine with an rpc interface. You load text and bitmaps into the draw device and then issue rendering commands. The kernel terminal device, cons(3) is where the terminal text is written to and cons sends that to to draw. When you start a graphical program, it overwrites the window graphics from cons(3) until the graphical program exits or the window deleted. There is no in band cursor control in plan 9 as it is a graphics oriented OS.
So its not just porting a terminal. It's the entire OS. Of course there is p9p, plan 9 port, which is a port of the core plan 9 user space tools to Unix systems. It does offer a draw server that can be mounted.
A lot of terminals supports at least somewhat similar functionality via Sixel (bitmaps) and ReGIS (vector graphics). It's limited and certainly could be improved a lot, though.
It is a good idea (the metaverse) but you can not take this shift seariously because they are trying to reflect the bad press of the whistleblowers of the last weeks.
Facebook is staring to show some really bad cracks. I think they should start checking their PR a bit more because if they follow this path, they could have congress in their neck for some time.
I think that this is for certain true but the solution of the problem is where the onteresting part is because most people do not want to go and live im a cabin
Qubes really needs at least 32 GB. I have maxed mine out at 40 in my laptop and I sometimes wished for more.
If you have the memory, and you can live without GPU acceleration, there is really nothing like Qubes. The biggest benefits to me aren't even the security aspects. It's the ability to test things without worrying that anything unrelated gets affected.
If you want to install some random piece of software, especially commercial software that always comes with an install script (or worse, a binary) it's very comfortable to be able to give that program a dedicated playground. When I want to uninstall it, I run qvm-remove vmname and it's gone.
