I actually think in practice the meaning has always been "things I dislike". Before AI you could see it applied to all kinds of things in media, WWE is slop, Soap Operas are slop, Genre Fiction is slop. It's almost exclusivel

I have an allergic reaction to anything that feels manipulative, and "gamification" is probably the most manipulative. I've abandoned every learning app that prods you with points, achievements, and other noise.

I'm kind of had enough of unnecessary policy ratcheting, it's a problem in a every industry where a solution is not possible or practical; so the knob that can be tweaked is always turned. Same issue with corporate compliance, I&#

So I guess to properly clarify, I absolutely do not mind that someone wants to build coreutils in Rust. I don't have a problem with Rust Coreutils existing. The problem, and the real issue I have is that this project is being used as t

GNU utils is battle tested, well reviewed, and STABLE. That's really what I want in an OS, stability. Rust solves only one case of security issues, but it cannot solve logical errors, which there will be many of in a new software proje

87.75% compatibility, as measured by a comprehensive, but incomplete test suite. They want 87.75% compatibility to be an accurate measure, but we know that in reality the real number is lower. Also, I have major issues with dumping GPL user

I would assume some good faith on their part. Verification would be valuable, but so would timely release of information. If the reports are true, an active harm to those organizations are being done, and it would be valuable for the public

We will see how that goes. I love GrapheneOS, I've used it for years, but the details matter. An OEM partnership might promise a lot at the start, but a lot can change between now and delivery.

At this point I'm convinced that ad spending has nothing to do with sales, revenue or any real business principal. It's about power and influence. Advertisers control the culture, news and the public discourse by always paying mor

This is pretty cool, I am literally working on a project very similar to this. IMO most of the current agent sandboxes are not great, they're either insufficient for the threat model, too platform dependent or saas only. A microvm I th

We have always been in the life simulator philosophically speaking. Everything is a construct, and the universe is mostly an existential horror. You're only chasing misery by trying to be the information vegan.

Absolutely this, models acheive very highly on kind problems; ones that you can master with sufficient practice. Which is just remarkable, but the world is a wicked learning environment, and repetition is not enough.

So we don't get the security benefits or accessibility. I'm not sure what is being solved. I'm all for a modern display system, I'm just not convinced the security claims are in anyway justified.

A security in depth approach obviously. Run less, use vetted sources, when running suspect software execute in a properly sandbox context. Seriously what's the point of securing screenshot and key loggers if a malicious process has ful

I will never understand why people are so obsessed with this. You don't like it, dont engage with it. If you can't tell the difference, and it's entertainment stop worrying about it. If veracity matters, use authorative sourc

I would argue the largest CDN provider in the world is a critical path.

I 100% agree with the performance improvement goals, but I think the security claims are overblown, and overly cautious. I honestly don't understand the point of trying to implement the security boundary in the display manager. It solv

Saying this as a long time lover of Linux, that's not impressive. Put another way, 0.056 percent of the user based attempted switching to Linux. Whether users stick with it, we'll see.

I swear the majority of UL and CE marked electronics on amazon are fraudulent. Honestly, I don't think certification is going to work, at least not with out a long term economic policy to onshore manufacture. There's just no pract

Again, principles! Not an argument about law. This an argument about aught not is.

The problem is that rules need to be viewpoint neutral to be fair and effective. If we allow authority to pick approved opinions, we end up with this incoherent bullshit. One year you can't mention anything contrary to the CDC and the

No one is confused about the correct application of law, this is clearly an argument about principles as they apply to de-facto corporate controlled commons. Google is not the state, but essentially controls one of the few means of self pub
