@iska Yeah, it weirds me out reading that page you linked like... why not just write some minimal runtime/VM/whatever with capability addressing & enforcement... and that's it?
Why are capabilities mentioned nowhere in the entire page?

@jeffzugale @NanoRaptor I do miss having connectors you could screw in and be sure they wouldn't randomly shake loose after a while.
@TCatInReality @SirTapTap It's pretty obviously hyperbole for humorous effect.
That being said, you cannot *honestly* claim that those bills aren't almost always being used as part of the #FourHorsemenOfTheInfocalypse to ram in a bunch of privacy & freedom destroying laws and regulations that have no actual positive effect on child safety (and in fact usually make the situation worse for them too).
@TCatInReality @SirTapTap That's a false dichotomy.
Nations with stronger privacy laws (which incidentally would rein in those techbros, along with more labor laws, antitrust and get rid of the slave visas) have no such problems as those which you enumerated that are uniquely American.
One can infer from that alone that more surveillance isn't the fix.
And surveillance isn't a risk, it's a guarantee with a law to back it. Those laws' "unintended side-effects" are fully intended.
@TCatInReality @SirTapTap I wouldn't conflate the UK with the EU, the UK has a much worse laws on personal freedom and privacy (and France isn't much better, they sure do love their authoritarianism).
There are a number of countries in the EU that techbros largely avoid because it's a lot harder to get up to their usual bullshit than in others.
As for the laws regulating social media, depending on which ones, they can in fact be healthy. It isn't all or nothing.
@TCatInReality @SirTapTap But the vast majority of those "protect the children" laws? Those aren't it.
Those are false flags being used to ward off criticism at entirely intentional side-effects (and indeed primary intended effects) of those laws.
Most of them, if you ask any expert or professional working with children, healthcare & child welfare are counterproductive.
In many cases what would demonstrably help a lot more children is to fund those organizations adequately.
@publicvoit @timbray I bothered with not spacing right up until I noticed that at some point tab-completion had become a thing... like two decades ago (that I noticed, not sure if it became such earlier).
I promptly stopped caring after that. I eventually picked-up #Emacs (and more specificaly #dired) which made it even less of an issue and also covered weird/corrupt characters that most shells don't handle properly.
@publicvoit @jonan_gallas @timbray So did I for the longest time.
I'm rewriting some of them in Guile Scheme and Common Lisp these days (honorable mention for those that were already in Racket), for those that are still relevant.
Some of them are /pretty/ old so it's nice to see the differences in how I implement them now vs back then.
@terraboops More outdated and an indictment of the schooling system they went through.
There's a difference between knowing better and purposely persisting, and not knowing better because of system failure.
@Suiseiseki Not really, most I2P torrent clients are specifically for I2P and don't really do any cross-seeding (this is seen as a feature by many, as it prevents misconfiguration accidents).
BiglyBT explicitly has a plugin for cross-seeding, but it's also almost entirely Java.
If you want something memory-unsafe that /could do/ cross-seeding (some assembly required) then libtorrent has been integrating I2P support and that's in C++.
@Suiseiseki @bunni @mangeurdenuage Content-addressing is fun like that.
Those magnet links, if you remove the tr= parts, should also be usable in I2P, though if no one is cross-seeding or directly seeding them on there you'll get nothing.
@mmu_man @LuciferMorningstar Not sure how it's surprising that anyone who has been consistently bombarded with propaganda would be surprised at just how wrong it is.
@Suiseiseki @voidlink_ >It's proprietary, as that kernel contains proprietary software;
That looks more like firmware than a driver, what a weird hierarchy the project uses.
In any case, does Linux Libre strip this out?
@Suiseiseki @jeff Do you watch vtubers that use Free Software though?
Well now, look at them values in a bunch of places.
Sure, Covid is over⸮
@lightning @chjara Very pretentious ancient greek for "the people" or "the proles".
And housing in America (USA & Canada, probably the rest too) has been fucked into completely ridiculous prices by car-centric development and SFH-only zoning. So despite there being ample territory, it's so mismanaged & misused that there's a constant lack of adequate housing which drives the prices of the rest through the roof.
@chjara That'd get the hoi polloi questioning why their housing costs such an absurd proportion of their wage, can't have that.
The problem with #Java isn't that it's trying to do too many things, not even remotely.
The problems started when they saw #Smalltalk's #ObjectSystem and thought "how can we keep only the bad parts of this and make something much worse?".
The memes about the completely absurd "enterprise Java" practically all flow from that initial flaw.
So, other than the obvious writing things in #C in the 21st century, how did #Google fuck-up on the #webp implementation?
@LLS Never used it, they wanted me to dox myself to be able to register.
I don't play that game.
