- chungy 3y ago"Download blasphemous books"? That sounds like a highly specific use case, one I've never sought out. Why would it be inherently dangerous on Windows 95? I think there's some context or euphemism I'm missing.
- mananaysiempre 3y agoNo, I’m being literal, it’s just the environment I’m suddenly finding myself in in recent months :) I simply meant that the security of the TLS library (port) is founded more on good wishes and optimism than on testing or expertise (which the authors freely admit), so don’t use it as a daily driver.

- classichasclass 3y agoOne of these days I'll get that Win32 port done. Shouldn't be too difficult with things like mxe available.
