No, that's not fair enough. It's a very one sided contract where one party has all the power.

Yes, that is what makes Spains lax border controls a problem for the rest of Europe.

So basically your solution to foreign interests undermining democracy is to undermine it yourself first.

The greatest harmful misinformation at all is that the government should be the arbiter of truth. The purpose of a democratic government is to reflect the will of the people, not the other way around.

Does the US also have a state-run betting monopoly that it grants excemptions to?

Why does that obviously follow?

That's implying that those currently in power don't want to put this structure to use. I think that's naive.

It's not even true as being able to tell the character length from the first byte is not a property that extending UTF-8 past 36 bit payloads preserves.

The internal string encoding and its limitations does leak into the APIs.

> You're also a mod of six different forums. That alone shows that the hyothetical "you" is the last person who should be allowed to moderate anything.

People also get mauled by dogs yet we don't consider that to mean that they can't be domesticated. A domesticated animal is still an animal and if its big enough to kill you can coommon enough then some people will be killed by it

I don't think its specific to the community here. Seems the whole world has decided that everyone should be a grifter.

Why are you talking in hypotheticals when we have lived before the AIpocalypse and posters were not at all as horrible as they are now.

Pushing back on companies breaking social norms you think are important is one way to make the world how you wish it to be. The point is to make it clear that doing immoral things will affect their finances. Setting on "companies exi

A loop without a terminating condition in the loop header is not the same as a loop that doesn't terminate.

Think of the alternative where we'd be dealing with endless issues because someone though 255 or 2^16-1 characters ought to be enough for everyone.

For physical keys I don't need to ask permission to be able to make a second or third copy.

Sites didn't need to do anything special for this use case with passwords so it is a passkey problem.

The difference is that no password manager I used ever tried to hide my passwords from me.
