Except that his grievances are extremely surface level. For example, he claims that legal experts, regardless of their political leanings, agree that the small-boat crisis cannot be solved without primary-legislative…
Here's the link to Parliament's own on-demand video: https://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/c32e3478-65af-41b2-aa7... I'm somewhat dubious of a Youtube channel called "Western Liberty" that was created the day of…
One would presume they are making a clear distinction between people who design for design's sake, and those whose design is a result of interviews, research, and testing.
What I think everdrive is saying is that for it to be a smokescreen, there needs to be smoke: if it was only the government participating in the Purge to eliminate undesireables, it'd be extremely obvious and rallied…
TIL that &c means etc. I just spent more time than I'd like to admit googling for "&c" thinking it was some kind of FFI functionality or something xD
Yes, we are in agreement that empires bully their smaller neighbours. This is bad, right? You agree that this is bad... right?
Yup. I cannot stress how much the conversation has changed from a decade ago: the mere prospect of a European army was feared enough to be one of the reasons why we left the EU, but now it's something being seriously…
To be honest, I don't think most people's first interpretation of someone's claim to a "Discord-esque feel" when describing the UX of their open-source IRC client is that it's therefore riddled with dark patterns to…
While I don't doubt that regulatory bodies and/or ethics boards would have some cost effect, I don't think it'd be to the degree that you suppose. If anything, the long-term costs might be less. For example, say you…
Curious to see whether, in five or so years, we'll see another talk by Ryan Dahl announcing a new JS runtime: doen!
The "just asking questions" defence is most exemplified by this South Park clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKsfJHZ9vXE. But the concept is not confined to questions: it describes how attackers hedge their…

Very true, though the suspicious mind seeking to evade Google's dominance will be naturally wary of then picking a browser that's kept afloat in-part by Google. I do correct my previous assertion though of a…
> Your takedown of Iceweasel completely misses the point. This is not a takedown of Iceweasel: it was merely the example that they provided. It could've been anything. > Some people don't allow imperfection to stop them…
From what I can tell, Iceweasel is more or less a reskinned Firefox: there's some code changes to make it compatible with Debian's licensing guidelines, but it would be reasonable (in my opinion) to describe Iceweasel…
Seems like Kling is a wee bit of a chud. The claim about human rights likely stems from the "trans rights are human rights" mantra and is likely is reference to this (https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814)…
And you are certain that its maintainers comply with your requirements?
Fair enough. Which browser are you currently using?
To be fair, I'm inclined to believe that most of this pressure to lean (if not rely) on LLMs is not coming from programmers, but rather from middle and upper management: banks are resisting this not because their…
That's probable, though if we want to give them the benefit of the doubt, it could be a non-optimised benchmark, ie, something that may be written during the average devoper might ordinarily write, rather than…
Nah, Twitter is still absolutely rotten with toxicity. The Great Xodus happened due to the rapid chuddification of Twitter under its new management: it was over politics, not toxicity. As such they brought the toxicity…
Stealing that
I originally had "self exiles" but thought the pun was funnier :P
Bluesky is pretty decent and has features that I like over X, but much of its user base are Xiles (pardon the pun): people who frame their switch to Bluesky as some kind of boycott of X, ie, a bunch of moralists. They…
It doesn't surprise me that corporations [whose primary, if not sole concern is the profit motive] don't care about the morality of their customers. What I don't understand is why you're objecting to me voting with my…
