Any FreeBSD/Linux users there??

When will Rust Emacs be available in Ubuntu?

If they are ditching the GNU core utils I would expect that in some point in the not so far future, they also replace GNU Emacs with Rust Emacs.

There has been attempts to make it possible:

+ https://github.com/remacs/remacs (no longer maintained)
+ https://github.com/emacs-ng/emacs-ng (no longer maintained)

But in my opinion, the best attempt to port Emacs to Rust is RUNE (https://github.com/CeleritasCelery/rune).

This is a project that should receive some love (and money) from a big company that supports Free Software. No, Microsoft doesn't count, neither Apple. (Does Canonical still counts? I don't know.)

So, @ubuntu … when are we going to have our Emacs “oxidation”?

@arrjay which is why I intent to package it for my #GNUfree #toybox + #musl / #linux distro called OS/1337...

  • Because #GnuPG sadly is the prime example of what @landley once said: '[...] #OpenSource can't do [good] #UI'[...]

  • There is nice looking #FLOSS but #GPG is really one of those things that gets beginners to choose violence in their dreams...

It also allows you to add some cool functions in your .bash_aliases if you so choose.

  • Like encrypt $FILEMANE $KEYFILE that then spits out $FILENAME.encrypted.asc as a #PGP-encrypted file...

Either way, #enc is a pretty awesome tool and I think it's one of those essentials anyone looking for a #TUI / #CLI-first distro would want.

So feel free to checkout #OS1337 & @OS1337 ...

So there are people so fed up of the #gnulinux propaganda that they took efforts to create a #nonGnu #Linux OS…
The more the #freeasinfreedom software the better.

::: Chimera Linux - GNUless Linux & built from scratch  

...now entering Alpha state!

The infrastructure in place:

* Central build system (build / publish packages)
* Continuous pull requests
* A proper package repo browser
* Nightly global update-check for packagers

The C library is provided by musl (patched to use LLVM's).

Entering alpha stage

Today marks the day when the project enters the alpha phase. This has some implications, though it is not a release per se, considering Chimera is a rolling distribution; let’s take a look at what it means for potential users and contributors.

Hi all, anyone experience with #Savannah #NonGNU projects? I'd like to port a Hg repo there, with a #LibreOffice #Calc file... But I'm using #CC BY-SA license. Is it allowed or shall I change to #GNU #FDL? Not that changing would be a problem, anyway.
