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.

"Free Software" is not enough anymore.

We need _LEAN_ free software, including the SDK, then also the syntaxes of the used computer languages.

Everything RISC-V is good (even the mistakes which is making it more robust and more mature).

Don't forget to disable all "spectre and friends" mitigations in your linux kernel, and some workloads will become much faster.

Can you do the same on the windows kernel or apple kernels?

Because it feels being pushed as hard as go programming language was in its prime time by gogol. It feels similar. For instance, the guy who pushed rust into the linux kernel was from microsoft, and those "microsoft is pushing rust' signals are accumulating (but the signal of a microsoft guy pushing rust in the linux kernel is almost enough on its own... for me it is microsoft rust).

Even ISO is unable to keep the syntax of C as plain and simple and we get feature creep all over open source forcing upgrading compilers and creating a cycle of significant planned obsolescence over 5-10 years.

Not to mention it seems rust syntax is now as brain damage than c++, namely will clearly create a cartel of "real-life" compilers for it, and in the case of rust it is even worst: you need a runtime... and look at the java vm... oooooh...

But wait, is this true that, now, rust syntax is even worse than c++ one in grotesque and absurd complexity?

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
·5 ngày trước·discuss
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.

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.

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).
