   @skinnylatte There's kind of a bell curve to this though.

   At the very bottom you have time but no money. Community can be built on the cheap though, when you have time for it.

   In the middle you have money but you don't have time anymore. Your community is the PTA or whoever else you're stuck with from work.

   When you get back towards the affluent end, you have time and money. You get to pick your community again.

   I was born on a PDP-11/70 running Version 7 and raised on a VAX-11/780 running 4BSD. And although there was a DECsystem-10 in the computer centre, it was run by a small cadre of powerful system administrators and professors, who jealously guarded the monster. We undergrads never got to play with it.

   In fact, I never got to use a 36-biter, because the workstation revolution took hold while I was in college, and the rest, as they say, is RISCtory.

   @Suiseiseki Today. But it’s coming, and you can’t stop it.

   In ten years, GCC will end up so different it can no longer build your ancient code on modern systems. It will be someone’s full time job to hold it together with tape.

   And then they will give up.

   You will say you can run an older OS that still offers a path to keep the libraries your ancient gimp depends on.

   Then Google will fuck the entire Internet into HTTP3+SSL2.6 and you will die.

   The retro hardware lover experience all over.

   @domi @lanodan
   IME the hardest part of the problem is that if a python library has 50 functions

   one of them is vulnerable

   and you use a different one

   with input that is not user-controlled

   it's still getting flagged, and there's no way to filter that out without someone who understands the code taking a look at it.

   In an ideal world, vulns would be expressed through a type system.

   This is one of those hard cases that make for bad law.

   Prosecutors really hate self-defense cases.

   Because it takes what is a slam dunk homicide conviction and punches holes in it.

   In order to claim self-defense, you first have to admit that you killed someone.

   "Yes, I killed him, but the law says that is ok under very specific circumstances."

   And they really don't like that.

   This will get pled out to manslaughter with little jail time.

   Nobody wants this to go to court.

   I've never installed Line, so I don't know much about it. Nobody here uses it.

   In Taiwan I discovered they have Line Pay, almost every little shop accepts it there. I guess every chat app tries to expand until it becomes a bank.
