Stop blocking login from user agents which are not using whatwg cartel web engines, thx.

Is your "security" provider making love with gogol and its whatwg cartel friends or do I have active parasites on my internet lines?

Well, HN comments are kind of dead: too many AI bots and a abused "karma" system. Not allowed to disagree or provide alternatives.

Sorta no point in argumenting.

Still, we can use news and comments as a channel of communication and publishing.

And support email addresses with IP literals: mailbox@[x.x.x.x] mailbox@[ipv6:...] for those who are self-hosted and not paying the DNS mob, like myself. You can filter hard incoming emails with IP matching from the TCP connection to the content of the 'from' related headers, this is way stronger than SPF, thx.

Please gogol, stop being super evil, restore interop with noscript/basic HTML web engines.

You can also write using sound based/compressed 'text message' dialect: unless a real human is reading, automated watching tool should have a hard time (until coded/ML-ed on such dialects I guess)

Are you misunderstanding on purpose?

This is not specific to 'backdooring aes-gcm implementations' at all. Read again what I wrote, namely this is the general status quo on 'information system security': they don't need your password or aes-gcm key to watch if they really want to. You would be a fool to presume anything else.

Who are the key people in control of the rust-lang repo? (besides microsoft obsviously) From which companies are they from?

And your REALLY think E2E is going to "protect" you?

If the "services" want to watch, don't worry they will, "they don't need your password". But I guess they "do" that only for the very baddies, aka child exploitation, human trafficking, terrorists, killers, drug dealers, etc.

We all know here that "information system security" does not exist, this is a fantasy: there is only some "best effort" with a wide spectrum of compromises. If somebody talks to you about "deliverable security", that guy wants to sell you something.

E2E will protect you only against John Doh, "hacker only on Sundays". And we better keep that in mind.

Since microsoft bought it, a whatwg cartel agenda was setup: slowly, step by step, noscript/basic HTML interop has been broken.

Pure evil, microsoft, what else?

Is this true that microsoft rust syntax is now as worse than c++ brain damaged one?
sylware

If I am not too mistaken, microsoft rust syntax is close to c++ brain damage one, namely it is the issue more than any solution. Not to mention the cost of its runtime.

Common sense agrees with DJ Bernstein.

Oh!

You meant it is even worse nowadays with vibe coding! My bad.

Remove the specter and friends mitigations from your linux kernel, and your system will be significantly faster.

Unfortunately, trust is a spectrum and its dilution depends on many parameters.

I run linux distros and I have to configure my MSI motherboard from the BIOS, or I would have to get my hands on some MSI specific UEFI variable specifications (which you can download as a utf8 text file with a noscript/basic HTML browser, or a whatwg cartel browser but with javascript blocked, thanks).

As far as I know, ISO c++ is no better than microsoft rust.

It is said microsoft rust syntax is on the same brain damage complexity level than ISO c++. That, and I don't even talk about the technical cost of its runtime (not far from the toxicity of a jvm?)

Nope, and c++ should get the same thing.

But we now all know rust is microsoft and c++ ISO. I don't think we can trust much more ISO than microsoft to produce less feature creep over the currently known planned obsolescence cycle of 5-10 years.

The real salvation is assembly written software with a wordwide non-IP-locked ISA (for instance RISC-V). Then very high language interpreters would be written directly in such assembly.
