    Can we rather make the kernel more stable before we change the design? These instabilities cause the whole process to hang itself up or terminate FAR to often!

      Yes, too many of the current subprocesses are just straight up cruel (most often directly to the local machine root loser user). It feels like someone wrote it as a placeholder/prototype or a sadistic joke & they just went with it, no revisions.

          because you mentioned the kernel I was riffing off the Linux copypasta


          I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

          Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

          There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

    I’d like to reengineer the mosquito to draw blood samples, identify viruses, then create and spread vaccinations.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who has nightmares of slipping on ice and falling down stairs when I sleep. The kicks I do are annoying.

    I would absolutely go for 6 fingers. Preferably an additional thumb. Not to mention an additional joint in each. Let’s go base 12!

    Ah yes let’s make the entire system vulnerable so a single attack vector can shutdown every node.

    If teeth regenerate, do we have to constantly chew on things like rodents? Or is it an as-needed thing?

    These are the sort of genetic engineering/eugenists I want to see. None of that “deleting gay gene” or “breeding smart people” pseudo science garbage.
