that’s… not a great argument though… plenty of people didn’t think their phones were missing anything and then the iphone came along

they’re all on planes that fly around the world, constantly experiencing 8pm

peter thiel?

absolutely correct… in australia, you respect the wildlife because it often has the ability to protect itself… its not like people die here every day from it

totally agree, but also you can do more with an electron-like app - elevated privileges, less sandbox, etc because the user expects such things from an installed “native” app

make their browser engine useable for 3rd parties and sell support, make an electron-like product and add premium features… there are so many browser-based products that people sell, and owning 1 of the only viable browser engines should be huge… the fact that firefox is still only barely able to be embedded is a travesty

it’d be especially valuable if they made a premium electron product that provided security/privacy guarantees, performance benefits, etc - they should siphon some of the profit off the number of for-profit companies that build electron apps

worth repeating the KEEP YOUR PRIVATE KEY SECURE part if you’re trusting a root - if you trust a root, it may be able to issue a TRUSTED cert for other domains - mybank.com, etc and leave you open to attack

that’s only partly true:

economically liberal indeed means free markets and capitalism (this is why the australian conservative party is called the Liberal party)

however liberalism as a whole includes individual rights like human and civil rights, secularism, etc (this is what the US tends to define as liberal)

it’s an overloaded and imperfect term for our current global political cultures

similar applies to left and right wing:

the left are supporters of change and generally change that supports less fortunate and leads to less social hierarchy

what both these things have in common is that liberal and left wing are about change and new ideas, whilst conservative and right wing are about maintaining the status quo (or as is more currently the case, regressing to a previous status quo)

i guess the point is not to brag - it’s to rattle the cage and yell “THIS IS NOT NORMAL” and “IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS”

… there are lots of americans that just consider what they experience as normal, and that’s absolutely not normal for similarly privileged countries

… then you unionise and this forms part of your demands ;)

okay but that’s kinda the point… unlimited leave isn’t really that because nobody ever takes that leave… it’s not your fault: it’s literally designed to make you think it’s your fault… if you decided to take 2mo PTO i guarantee your “unlimited” PTO would suddenly not be unlimited

apparently this is an issue with some part of the hardware that lots of hardware security devices use too, so not as simple as just buying/building an alternative

rust was literally written as a systems programming language to take a similar place as C. i’m not sure of the restrictions you mean

i think that’s really the point - unlimited isn’t actually unlimited. unlimited means unspoken, and often variable limits based on the mood of managers

5 weeks is… pretty minimal

worth clarifying though afaik brave has said they won’t remove v2; not that they will continue to support it… ie if there’s a breaking change in upstream chromium, i’m not sure i have confidence that they’ll spend a bunch of time working around it

literally if anyone else did stickers half as well as telegram

na unlike that loser they don’t have to commute from their bed to the fridge!

i wouldn’t say inferior… mozilla extensions were more performant and flexible, web extensions (ie the initial chrome format - now a standard that most browsers use) are easier to develop, and thus there were a lot more of them

stupidity is a once-off

malice is a pattern

and even if it’s not malicious, a pattern of stupid action needs to be stopped just as much as malicious action

this changes nothing: microsoft should have sent a patch remains microsoft should have sent a patch; internal policies are irrelevant to actions and effecting external projects

that’s fair, and i think that in the context that we were both talking about, what we both wrote was reasonably correct

arch is a reliable OS that is sometimes unstable

but a server needs a stable OS to be reliable, which means that whilst arch can be a reliable OS, it does not make a particularly reliable server
