I doubt most casual users would know the distinction between "native filsystem access" and what the browser does already. They'll just (wrongly, in this case) assume the browser is safe as long as they don't download and

This is a security nightmare. It looks like major browser vendors have pushed back against it and for good reason. Even a website I absolutely trust should not be able to access my bare filesystem because I don't know if that website w

It shares the code generator with gcc. It doesn't transpile C to Rust or vice versa. The goal is to produce machine code directly.

Spammers would pay too, maybe even outbid the genuine users. They already invest a lot into getting past filters.

You can use VNC/RDP to remote into a graphical session. Graphical vs. terminal are both arbitrary binary streams over SSH, the computer doesn't care. There's no advantage to the terminal based one other than maybe less netw

It's easy to blame all the flaws of human character on its most highly available and proximate expression which is speech. There is violence, anger, hatred, envy, all kinds of evils in the world, the world isn't perfect, man isn&#

Richard Stallman was right. The computer (smartphone) for millions of people has become a prison. The smartphone has been a tragedy for the human species. "Oh it doesn't matter they went after people I disagree with" Okay wis

Unfortunately phones with SD cards are hard to come by these days. I think that was intentional to help prop up streaming because both each of the duopoly has heavy investments in streaming media.

The government could also just announce they're imprisoning anyone who owns Bitcoin. Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Grayscale all shut down overnight. Everyone rushes for the exits and drives the price down below $1. If it is ever to return

In a world with 500k Bitcoin the electric bill would be denominated in Bitcoin as well. No "new [fiat] money" would need to come into the market. Mining would be like any other business in the world that has expenses and pays oper

Eliminate TikTok from the US markets completely and watch how fast Facebook and others would rush to improve it. The reason they haven't is those efforts wouldn't be guaranteed to yield market share. That could change with a ban.

Is the brand really that valuable? Because the app is not magical. With a few million dollars you could replicate it top to bottom. Couldn't the US government just ban it and help the new US-based competitor succeed? This is what China

That would be impossible to enforce or prove. Bitcoin may not be anonymous but it is pseudonymous. The government could make a case that you own this or that public key hash, but that can be litigated till kingdom come since they have no ph
