There are many reasons why police serve the role they do in society. Neglecting other reasons other than blatant racketeering—the role they play in preserving the institution of private property, the role they play in filling prisons, the role they play in preserving the illusion of justice—serves nobody.

You don't have to believe anything, but if you don't see the racism that pervades our society you're utterly blind.

Neither party is obligated to the interests of the people living in this country. I'm not saying this is necessarily bad advice but there are some problems that require actual citizens to do something aside from vote.

I'm not one to ever defend the institution of policing or the court system that feeds and protects it, but cops do not have general immunity. They have qualified immunity from civil cases in some places. The primary friction from prosecuting police for criminal behavior has been and will continue to be DAs unwilling to prosecute (for various reasons, some reasonable, and some nefarious).

> Organizations that insist on using workflows like git send-mail and mailing lists not only drive away a significant number of potential contributors, but they also form a weirdly religious culture that fetishizes needlessly painful process and is incapable of improvement

You could say the same of GitHub. Why do I need an account on your lil site just to get a patch accepted?

That's certainly an innovation. Scratch didn't use to involve browser-play at all.

Tinkercad and scratch were never tied to a browser! Why go with wasm?

Gatekeeper is not capable of this.

I doubt you (or any human) is capable of enumerating what you don't want looked at. Frankly, I doubt most of this unknown area is covered by SIP at all, and it would be extremely odd if it did. Perhaps you might consider arguing for actual permissions rather than arbitrarily walling off the OS in a way that tangentially benefits the monopoly Apple holds over their own computers.

Wouldn't it be far easier to enumerate what you want an app to access?

I understand that of course, I'm much more curious why you think this is a concern for people, and/or why you consider this an effective protection against said unknown actors.

Sincerely, why is this your recommendation? What does this protect against and why do you consider it a concern?
