@alice It’s even worse in Sweden. We have the Scandinavian Model here (buying sexual services is a crime, and sex work is automatically considered exploitation), and because of the consensus-seeking nature of Jante Law society, everybody agrees that this is right, including leftists, liberals and sex workers. (There’s a similar, though perhaps slightly weaker, consensus on Nixonian zero-tolerance drug laws.)

Borland TurboVision (the PC text mode windowing UI used in Turbo Pascal/C++) has been open-sourced and updated to work seamlessly on Linux and with Unicode:

It’s all in C++, though if someone hasn’t wrapped it in bindings for Python/Rust/&c. yet, surely they will

@emenel @jimbob @inthehands So labour-saving devices like dishwashers and washing machines are morally reprehensible, and the only ethical alternative is to do the work manually or pay someone a fair price for their time and labour? That’s quite a take…

@publicdomainrev Listing Savonarola, the fanatic who destroyed much priceless art and literature including most of the works of Sappho, as a victim of intolerance is certainly a choice.

Hacker gets annoyed at Amazon’s Kindle apps, reverse-engineers the Kindle web reader’s protocol (which basically sends each page as a set of glyphs in a deliberately broken variant of SVG). Such obscurity, much security.
