Can you name some renowned such creative works that were "weaponized against a huge swath of internet users"?

Vaguely related is Haxe, https://haxe.org/ . Originally a way to do ActionScript, now it targets a lot more and is quite nice to work in.

None of that matters for the kind of creative work the grand parent likely had in mind. Perhaps there was a memory leak in Unidentified Flying Assholes or the endless line of punch-a-celeb games or the thousands of stick fight productions a

I do a lot of development and sysadmin stuff on phones and tablets, to a large degree due to PentiKeyboard. It helps a lot to see the entire screen and have all the usual keyboard sends that a regular, physical keyboard has. https:/&#

WebDAV is a nightmare, breaks when you least need it. Once I moved a few TB over it, it took a week with all the retries and troubleshooting. As I understand it you can work around it with Nextcloud by running some other transfer service an

This article is about the political culture in a country that supplies a lot of technology and software to other countries, including the one where I live, that they have developed through occupation, apartheid and genocide. If I lived in t

When I teach I constantly tell them to start with data and hard coded, literal data representations, this seems to make it rather easy to get used to a functional style.

Most pork they export to Sweden for sale in supermarkets is awful and sold as the cheapest, worst alternative.

Many, but one often overlooked is experiences of a pornographic or erotic character. This is one of the most important future uses of what we today call chat bots and "AI".

The Taliban was formed in 1994 and had very little to do with the Soviets. They became popular on a kind of 'tough on crime, say no to drugs' platform, because the US had invested heavily in local war lord drug barons and made a l

What do you mean by "war", exactly? The US bombing Somalia, Colombia and Venezuela clearly does not count, and neither does the SOF:s in Syria and Iraq, or the proxy wars in Ukraine, Yemen, Palestine and Lebanon. I suppose the tra

There are no such laws that I 'do like'. If you want to make the claim that there are laws that aren't backed up by state violence, in this case in Germany or elsewhere in the EU, name them and show that it is the case.

The last time Janjaweed-style gangs engaged in similar acts of apartheid and genocide in Darfur the US opposed it and openly called it a genocide. This was in 2007. I'm not sure when UAE ramped up funding and equipping of similar group

Netanyahu having had people transfer cash was a big scandal in Israel. Trying to murder the negotiating team in Doha was an effort to stop the US from pushing through 'a deal' as it's commonly been called. They've previo

It's also likely that the US is kept at bay by trading UAE acceptance of Israel in return for diplomatic cover and military passivity. The US destruction of Libya has been quite important for the UAE:s ability to supply the RSF as well

And those that supposedly oppose it just happen to fail to act in line with that position. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/mp-och-v-rostade-fel-om-k... https://emanuelkarlsten.se/vansterpartiet-

I think you have misunderstood something. As far as I know no state has ever declared that its own behaviour can amount to terrorism, and one reason for this is that the state applies to some degree arbitrary violence for ideological gain.
679.
by cess11 1y ago
No, it's not. One important feature of the modern state is that it makes a claim to a monopoly on violence and institutionally back up its enforcement of its laws with this threat of violence.

Once upon a time HTML was a kind of XML, which is why the current version is very similar to XML and hence painful to write. This in turn is why we tend to use programmatic tools to handle the HTML, and you should if you work with XML too.

In practice this means XSLT execution will be moved from clients to servers and I'm not so sure this is positive with regards to security.

Yeah, you should be very adult and say that when corporations come to you and remind you that they think you owe them something.

Not really. What other political tendencies perform violent colonisation at home? And, well, yeah, they have a lot of similarities. They both agree on things like 'Arbeit macht Frei', extremely violent punishment of petty crime an

It's not "another" "country", though. That's a misconception about Israel, which is not a country, it's a colony. It doesn't have borders, it's dependent on financial handouts from its imperium,

They publicly agreed to do genocide, having a slightly criminal communications protocol in a contract on the side amounts to an ethical rounding error.

I'm not a fan of extensive mocking but you're conflating two rather different test cases. A test where you mock out the database connection is testing something in application code, which has nothing to do with database configurat

Fascism is capitalism violently colonising its home turf, there is no conflict between a group calling itself a "free market think tank" and being part of a fascist movement or tendency. Obama is quite pro-capitalism and hence muc

Yes, that was the promise you made. You said 'besides our commercial offering we're going to support your personal projects you run out of passion, forever' and then you changed it to 'actually, we're going to delet

Many of us grew up on stuff like SDF/Freeshell and IRC and ad-supported web hosts. "Free forever" actually meant "free forever" to us, until services that used the same language to make promises ripped us off and tu
