Folks should bear in mind that RMS is mostly playing a necessary role when in public.

And I'm not just talking about Saint iGNUcius.

I'm not an OOP fan. I like C a lot, functional langs, etc. I don't care what language you're using. But make sure to use it right, and not mix your C with C++ like it's the same language. If you're using C++, do it right. Likewise with C or anything else.

Don't trust "open source" projects with Contributor License Agreements, they are effectively not open source/free software at all and cannot be trusted or forked in productive ways that eliminate corporate control. (glares at Microsoft with VSCode and Azure)

Still, I think it's important to keep in mind that the developers are just people, who also have limited time and patience, and we shouldn't keep bothering them just because they haven't yet implemented a feature we need.

I think all the "everyone, comment on this issue so that the devs get it implemented" approach is very ineffective and harmful for both sides. At least in case of small open-source projects which don't really benefit from having a lot of users.

Microsoft Edge engineer describes how Google sabotaged Edge browser performance via constant code changes to its services.

Also remember a while back a scandal about YouTube breaking in Firefox via similar tactics. That monopoly charge can't come faster.

Interesting: you can fingerprint people based on their browser extensions, and LinkedIn has been doing so for years https://github.com/dandrews/nefarious-linkedin #privacy

Please humor me as I theorize about an alternative CPU architecture.

That hopes to be simpler than what we've got whilst doing a better job at extracting parallelism and protecting sandboxes. Because I don't think imperative programming was the correct paradigm for machine code.

Functional would've been better.

@teleclimber @Denderix @kosinus Sometimes I wonder what computers would bey like if we switched to a system based on a functional machine code.

That could've been easier for CPUs to extract parallelism from. So much so that we might not have needed to do it in software.

wow, this is a new one

if you need my “personal data” to pay your staff then you need to find a more ethical fucking business model

So, the fact that my main e-mail client (Mailpile) and my social media (Mastodon) are both browser-based means that I cannot easily open random links coming my way through these channels in a separate cube, using porcupine: https://micahflee.com/2016/06/qubes-tip-opening-links-in-your-preferred-appvm/

This is less than ideal. Why does everything have to be browser-based these days.
