All non-trivial software has bugs, and it’s unsurprising that in a sudo implementation in any language, many of those bugs are security-related. This is still quite young software. Ubuntu was premature in making it their default, I think, but that just means it’s immature, not that it’s completely broken.

Then again, I use su exclusively and don’t even have sudo installed, so I’ve got no dog in this fight.

(As for Rust itself, I am neither for nor against. It’s a programming language. It has some issues that mostly seem to be related to how building and distribution is carried out in practice, rather than the core language design. I have never met a programming language without warts, and I’ve used several. If you’re experienced with the language—whatever it is—you learn how to handle them.)

As with all the other alternative browser-related projects, I wish them luck. It isn’t easy just keeping pace with the details of current standards documents for rendering webpages—climbing up from zero (even if they’ve already made considerable progress) has got to be even more difficult.

For what it’s worth, Pale Moon can still be built for 32-bit Linux ( fish through contributed builds, or build your own). Sufficient for many, many sites, although a few will break or require workarounds.

“Artificial Intelligence” doesn’t actually want anything. It has no agency. Meta/Facebook wants to sell you stuff while the world burns, but that’s nothing new.

TDE will run quite happily on pretty pathetic hardware (that laptop with 2GB RAM that I retired this year ran TDE). It can’t do anything about Firefox being a pig, though.
