Apparently what stops it from wide adoption is people commenting on Mastodon while not knowing it. If you want to curate your timeline you use lists; one I use is "those accounts who rarely post and I want to see it all"

Capitalism isn't about standards of livings, it's about exploitation of the majority by and for a minority, whether you give the exploited shackles or golden shoes.

Thanks for the comparison ! I see there are some advances compared to recutils, those would benefit being put to the front !

I'm not sure the paper-like presentation of the article shows that the author was in pure discovery mode, eager to share something new and interesting. My message is an echo to earlier comments of earlier posts that talked about a simi

Is this a serious article ? The state of the art of knowledge ? There are at least two (2) existing prior art implementation that have done this for years, only better (as in, with better tools): - recutils: https://www.gnu.org&#

Maybe that's the root of the problem. Making technological toys for fun is absolutely ok, but when we pretend to solve people's problems we should probably take a look at old ideas first

Being cheap and easy is not a problem, quite the contrary. That we as a society make this a good thing for spam is a problem, but I don't want to make the system shittier just because of the bad use of it.

Totanly agreed. We as a profession do not learn what existed before, only what the latest are doing and it's tiring. We value creating instead of reusing and maintaining, as seen in the extreme in the evaluation process at Google. We h

The pop-up is not part of the law. The law says user should be aware and able to do informed changes, not that they should be annoyed. That part is entirely on companies

It is code, so it is the most flexible that can exist. You can call the code with an application that includes it, you can make your own server with your own API although that isn't really useful if the server is going to be local anyw

Isn't that better isolation though ? A memory corruption will at worse break the OS which is the app and nothing else. Push the model further and you can have one unikernel per user and reduce even further the consequences of bugs

GNU licenses don't mandate for the source code to be sent all te time. It only says that it must be available upon request, and the author must give pointers to get it (an url to download content or inspect it, an email to ask, ...)

Because saying "AES" is enough to talk about encryption ? Nothing else is involved ? Because if we're going in this direction everyone should just use XORs for encrypting and everything would be fine, and the rest would be im
