Sure, there are dozens of metrics by which the world is getting objectively worse in ways that have very real human and ecological costs. But OP didn't cite any of those. They did, however, complain that the minimum wage worker who mad

Software is an expression of something (an algorithm, layout, etc.). So yes, you can copyright it. What you can't copyright is the underlying principles; e.g., the implementation of Google's search engine is protected by copyright

For one, while the Irish faced discrimination, it was significantly less than that of non-Europeans. More importantly though, how does this have any bearing on why the question is relevant today? Are you somehow under the impression that th

I was thinking something similar to your third point, though more for cdc_stream, since as of last year sshfs is no longer maintained anyway.

Nexus and Pixel devices are top of the line phones that are famously well supported by ROMs, the sort of "check for support in advance" I mentioned. Unofficial builds are not the "exact same", else they would be official

There are solutions, but they come at a steep cost with regards to usability, so would shrink the anonymity set to what would be an unacceptable level for the uses Tor cares about. The reality is that these attacks, while theoretically poss

It's already pretty common to choose federation status based on moderation policies. Many instances will only federate with instances that require content warnings for NSFW content, and some won't federate with instances that allo

I use Foundry VTT regularly (and develop a plugin for it). While I've never had functionality problems with Firefox, in practice, it's the main thing I keep a Chromium install around for, since on heavy scenes even Chromium barely

It can make things faster is not the same as simply running it in the kernel will make it faster. There are definitely certain situations that making use of fewer context switches helps with, and where page mapping isn't sufficient

You seem to be under the impression that this filter is based on message content. It's not. All content is e2ee, and this filter is not downloaded to the client. The filter is to stop abusive network behavior, e.g., someone enumerating

By that reasoning specifications can't have bugs either. Sure, by some extreme prescriptive understanding of what a compiler or specification is, there are no bugs, but if a cryptography specification allows attacks in the threat model

You (and Price) are painting yourself into such a bizarre rhetorical corner. You honestly believe that nobody should have consequences for any actions outside of the literal legal system? If I let someone use my house to hold parties while

Rust also has checked operations (i.e., checked_add/sub/mul/etc. that return None when there's an over/underflow). You use wrapped operations when that's what's supposed to happen, checked operations when

Worth pointing out that list comprehensions aren't just a stylistic preference or syntactic sugar, they're significantly better performance than the equivalent for loops.

Tor's exit relays, like all non-bridge relays, are listed publicly [0] (by necessity, that's how the client chooses a circuit). You can see in the screenshot of whatever you're using to monitor by GeoIP that Tor traffic alrea

Which relays are guard relays is public knowledge (by necessity, it's how clients know which hops to select). If you operate a middle relay, and you see traffic coming from a relay not known to be a guard, you know it's from a non
