> treaties [...] not based on trust

How are these treaties enforced? All international treaties are ultimately based on trust. There is no higher authority, only elective councils of and voluntary commitment to procedures (a.k.a. promises) by sovereign states.

Specifically not even these formal promises have been given by e.g. the United States of America which to this day has signed but never ratified either the VCLT[1] or the VCLTIO[2], so is figuratively giving a lukewarm "let's see about the convenience of that when it comes up".

A 2016 talk by Tribeflame CEO Torulf Jernström about the monetization of mobile games called "Let's Go Whaling!" also caused a bit of a ruffle a while ago.

Ominously delivered with smug smirk, met by smug laughter: "I'll leave the morality of it out of the talk. We can discuss it, if we have time, later."

Turns out they would have had time later but for some reason opted not to.

Written as though it's competing for the attention of fourteen-year-olds against meme scrolls, video games and online porn.

Unfortunately that is also the problem with rational arguments if they are deliberately or ignorantly reductive, i.e. without holistic perspective.

Web.de was founded in 1995 and GMX in '97. Both now belong to the gigantic German United Internet AG founded in '88 which currently has roughly 10,000 employees and EUR 5.5bn revenue.

Or if homogeneous data is fine, just cat or dd from a source like /dev/zero.

> If every statement fit within the column limit of the page, yup. It’s a piece of cake. (I think that’s what gofmt does.) But our formatter also keeps your code within the line length limit.

I think you are correct and am confused why you're being voted down without explanation.

Maybe I misunderstand, but didn't JSLinux[1][2] do system emulation running a proper kernel basically since 2012?

One Jesus of Nazareth is tolerable, a million people preaching their opinions everywhere would be truly awful. Therefore what Jesus was doing is immoral.

Sorry, but Wikipedia also doesn't get to decide what words mean, nor you or I, at least not authoritatively.

Linguistically, tax evasion is: evasion of taxes. I can use the words to describe any action taken to evade paying a tax. The words simply do not imply a state of legality.

That there are domains that overload the terms with extended restrictive meaning is by definition arbitrary and has no priority over natural language.

Usually Wikipedia indicates this by explicitly naming the domain, e.g. "In US tax law, tax evasion is ...", but fails to do so here.

> a relief when i click on a link to any site, and the page loads, and there's no animated anything whatsoever

I've recently disabled CSS animations globally in Firefox's userContent.css and my Web experience has indeed improved considerably. (Annoyingly this particular page content still jumps a little because of some deferred image loading.)

  * {
   animation: none !important;
   transition-property: none !important;
  }

This obviously does not affect scripted animations.

It would be nice if sites respected the prefers-reduced-motion browser media feature.
