Todd C. Miller has been maintaining the #sudo codebase for over 30 years. This is exactly one of those cases where an entire critical infrastructure is held together by the work of a single volunteer who apparently can’t find anyone willing to sponsor him for some financial support. #opensource #linux #foss #GNU
Well, this might come in handy if you are addicted to the damn thing called Emacs.

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

Amazing work by Minad on #GNU #Emacs : https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=80281. His patch adds a canvas image type which adds a canvas to Emacs (direct pixel buffer manipulation that we very desperately need see: https://codeberg.org/MonadicSheep/emacs-reader/pulls/126#issuecomment-9191474).
This work was inspired by the various PALE demos by @divyaranjan.
This means emacs-reader and PALE will be able to delete a lot of hacks and have even better performance :D.
@divyaranjan Here is a demo of the new canvas API:
@divyaranjan yet another demo, this time Minad ported #Doom to #GNU #Emacs. ( #Doomemacs?)
