Does Firefox work with Haiku already?

Did so years ago. Everybody uses it from my family and friends. I’ve had a very active group chat there for eight years with friends. My mom uses it actively, even calls me using Signal. My partner knows it is the best chat app and actively uses it.
I just asked ages ago for everybody to switch to signal, they valuated the features and for a group chat automatically deleted messages and strong encryption were really interesting for everybody. Now we can shoot shit in a group chat without needing to worry that the logs are stored somewhere forever.
But they give their data when the officials ask. That is all that matters. And I seriously hope none of us uses Telegram or WhatsApp to any discussions. Use Signal because that is so far pretty unbreakable.
Telegram is already in the hands of that tiny Russian old man and WhatsApp is owned by a lizard.
Signal always responds to authorities when they ask for data, and they give them all they have: the day they registered, their phone number and the timestamp they last used the app.
Telegram has unencrypted channels of drug dealing, and what I heard is a lot of illegal porn too. The authorities want information on certain users there and Telegram doesn’t comply. This is directly against the law Signal is not breaking, because they always send all the data they have to the law enforcement.
It is one of the most addictive games I’ve played. The good thing is that it is cheap and doesn’t have any microtransactions. And a lot of fun.
Wtf is run0

Edit: Is that nyx flake made by the same guys as the Chaotic AUR repo for arch?
Looks like it if you check from GitHub.
Thanks for sparking my interest on cachyos kernels and what they patch. In addition to bore, they also patch the sched_ext support!
https://github.com/CachyOS/linux-cachyos?tab=readme-ov-file#cachyos-default-kernel
Now, what this means is you can boot this kernel, then just start the scheduler from userland, e.g.
run0 scx_rustland
It uses bpf, so the scheduler switches immediately and is as fast as anything in the kernel space. What makes this rustland scheduler super interesting is how it can detect what application is currently active, and give it a full priority over anything else. So you can compile code in the background with all cores, and at the same time play a game with the best frame rate.
There are other sched_ext schedulers available, at least on nixos with the cachyos kernel I get a bunch of scx_ binaries to play with.
For nix users here, nyx flake packages and compiles the cachyos kernel:
They have a few in the main branch: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel
I see rt and zen at least being available. Would of course be quite easy to just send them a PR for bore patches, but I think I wait for sched_ext to land instead…
Not until sched_ext lands, and you can then switch schedulers as you wish. Maybe in 6.12?
Me neither. But. I think the answer is much simpler here: Microsoft doesn’t make their money with schedulers, but bundling that Office and tracking to everybody, and charging rent every month. They have way less people working on making the kernel as fast as possible, compared to Linux where:
This is why, for a pro user, Linux is an amazing platform.
It’s pretty easy to patch the kernel in NixOS:
https://git.sr.ht/~pimeys/nixos/commit/2a023c5ccc8a499dcb4ea14b0ab52c33db3f3523
It definitely feels snappier even with my 5950x. I hope this lands to mainline soon, compiling kernel for every update takes a few minutes extra.
Not yet in the Torvalds tree of Linux? There’s a ton of interesting schedulers coming when sched_ext lands to the mainline:

Also, would be great if more distros would compile packages with AVX512, there’s a ton of perf left on the table:
Yeah, same with the next gen zen5 laptops. The Ryzen 9950x can compile code faster and by using less power compared to 7950x. It is going to be awesome for dev laptop performance and battery use.
Meanwhile these CPUs are amazing on Linux

For some reason Windows scheduler is not as good as the one found in the Linux kernel with the zen5.
Yeah. He is pretty horrible. What surprised me though is his daughter’s film company has a pretty solid track record on quality movies and tv series:
