How exactly are you going to be able to trust elections at this point? I don’t mean as some kind of conspiracy theorist but in a very practical sense that I can’t think of any meaningful controls or external oversight mechanisms that I coul

I sincerely hope to see some kind of Fuchsia desktop experience someday. Even in the form of fuchsia -> Android -> ChromeOS which publicly at least seems those layers are actually converging somewhat.

This is completely made up bullshit masquerading as a fact.

iOS is without question one of the most secure OS out there today with any amount of real world use but the gap between what it is and what state of the art looks like is also insane. Fuchsia is actually quite well aligned with something th

It’s also a totally different security architecture that is considered actually defendable rather than the cat and mouse game we have going on today. It’s actually well designed for modern threats.

Is it? I don’t think those statements are incompatible in either example. In both scenarios we are looking at very meaningful leaps forward in terms of the underlying architecture and what that enables that simply aren’t possible within the

I think the lack of public information about their future plans for the project combined with the “killed by Google” meme got smashed together here and that is actually a really common perception but also one that is completely made up out

I know people tend to get very upset by this but if I’m not mistaken the M1, M2 and I think the M3 processors all now have “unfixable” hardware level security bugs on par with SPECTRE that destroy the concept of a Secure Enclave AFAIK. htt

Yes, excellent theory, rich people are famously not greedy assholes.

I really don’t understand what in 2025 lead you to possibly believe that people are suddenly developing critical thinking skills. The US just essentially voted a pro qanon party into power who is currently in the process of destroying the w

There is absolutely zero real life evidence that anyone can possibly point to that supports the Trump is secretly a genius and is playing 4D chess theory.

This isn’t normal. Hand waving it away as nothing like you seem to be doing here comes across as extremely weird I have to be honest.

Wtaf are you talking about?

I can’t speak to other languages but for Dart specifically this is a non-issue where you can: * use the exact same web APIs as outlined on MDN like you can in JavaScript. * Without having to leave Dart and all of the type safety and tooling

One of the really nice things about Dart in addition to the fact that it’s an AOT compiled language with truly excellent tooling and documentation is the fact that because it’s not a superset of JS it can skip a lot of the messy parts while

The entire point here is that this is changing. Granted to various degrees. Running Python, Ruby or PHP in the browser requires shipping a interpreter compiled to WASM and is indeed a lot of overhead, however compare and contrast that with

There’s really not a neutral position here that involves just ignoring what happens in the US, that is entirely wishful thinking but completely detached from actual geopolitical realities

Reminds me of the old saying that republicans would happily let someone shit in their mouth if it meant that a liberal had to smell their breath.

Comment history suggests it’s not sarcasm on their behalf.

Precisely because all of the US election infrastructure is at the state level without meaningful federal or external oversight I think it’s hard to come to a conclusion other than you aren’t going to be able to trust the results from a lot

That hasn’t been true for at a minimum half a decade now and much longer in practice I think.

And Dang will be here to say that the system is working exactly as expected and there’s zero reason at all to change any controls. It’s perfectly good and normal to have a system where a tiny handful of people can control what others see wi

I would politely suggest that history is absolutely filled with examples of others taking action outside of government in situations like this to prevent a descent into authoritarianism and that people might want to learn from them rather t

That’s literally the same underlying lesson just stated differently.
