Nyxt is an unusual web
browser that tries to answer the question, “what if Emacs was a
good web browser?”. Nyxt is not an Emacs package, but a full
web browser written in Common Lisp and available under the BSD
three-clause license. Its target audience is developers who want a
browser that is keyboard-driven and extensible; Nyxt is also developed
for Linux first, rather than Linux being an afterthought or just a

[$] Slowing the flow of core-dump-related CVEs
The 6.16 kernel will include a number of changes to how the kernel handles
the processing of core dumps for crashed processes. Christian Brauner explained
his reasons for doing this work as: “Because I’m a clown and also I had
“. The
it with all the CVEs because we provide a **** API for userspace
handling of core dumps has indeed been a constant source of

them in the future.
