I haven't used s6 much, so I can't really comment on that, but Chimera tends to boot significantly faster on the same hardware, compared to Alpine with OpenRC, mostly because of dinit's parallel initialization.
As for system performance, mimalloc's effect isn't particularly noticeable in regular use. Or maybe I just don't stress the allocator often enough. There may be more daemons running by default, but they are also activated on demand if you aren't using them, so YMMV on that.
For desktop use, it feels like an early (but already quite usable) version of what a respectable systemd replacement would look like, and I think that's its greatest strength in practice.
I've switched to Chimera from Alpine a few months ago. It's much nicer for desktop use. The service supervision is great, and many things that require some setup on Alpine just work out of the box. The packaging system is nicer too, though it does have less stuff already packaged.
> Christianity considers any sexual activity other than heterosexual sex for procreation within marriage to be sinful,
Mostly true, except the "for procreation only" part. That's specific to Cathlicism.
Protestant doctrine tends to be "anything goes, so long as it's in marriage", with the implication that marriage is heterosexual.
> and female sexuality to be inherently corrupting because "it was Eve who tempted Adam in the Garden of Eden."
I don't know of any non-sectarian modern Christian group that think like this. I don't think it was even current thought at the time of the Reformation.
> The Christian dogma
You are, once again, talking about Catholicism. No other denomination calls their teaching "dogma", because only Catholicism claims to be infallible. And for that reason, any serious error in their dogma is nearly impossible to excuse without some serious mental gymnastics. Other denominations can go to the Bible and point to a passage showing some attitude was wrong, change their doctrine and move on. But not Catholicism.
I also heard these things in sociology class at school, but they are outdated and partially incorrect. And it's a very anachronistic interpretation of history.
> That isn't "sex positive" in any commonly understood sense of the term.
No indeed. Modern Christians aren't either. But that's not what the GP was referring to. What you got was women actually being consulted on who they should marry, getting basic human rights and so on. Which, at the time of the first century A.C., was rather revolutionary. A lot of these were weakened over time by Catholic (and also some Protestant) culture, but treating people like people is very much a big message in the Bible.
Another big message in the Bible is restraint, so of course Christianity can never be fully "sex positive" in the modern anything-goes sense of the term.
It works as a fork deterrent; forks can't easily prove they are still correct without the test suite, so if a company needs to tweak SQLite for any reason, they are better off paying for the tests so they know their tweaks won't break anything.
Because the whole goal is to not need any sort of "pointer discipline". The way he does it, you can store as many pointers to the arena as you want without keeping track of them, as long as they don't survive the deallocation of the arena.
One example would be having a big graph inside the arena. Pointers to other elements can just be plain pointers.
With "conventional RAII" you need to know if your pointer is the only pointer left to know whether to call the destructor. That requires some sort of pointer tracking.
They have already shown themselves to be both able and willing.
Hopefully the backlash from this current decision will delay their plans long enough for GrapheneOS, Lineage and others to figure out how to work around it somehow, which is why I'm eagerly watching where this is going.
They didn't. They implemented the WebExtensions API for WebKit. It's not complete (e.g. Stylus doesn't work yet), but it's enough to run uBlock Origin.
You can install full uBlock Origin in the Orion browser, on iOS. It also has decent built-in ad blocking (though uBlock Origin is still better).
I had been thinking for a long time to switch to Android (GrapheneOS, probably) when my current iPhone 13 dies, but this whole thing with "sideloading" on Android is making me reconsider. If I can't have the freedom I want either way, might as well get longer support, polished animation and better default privacy (though I still need to opt-out of a bunch of stuff).
