@Mr_NutterButter @matrix that's 'cause Europe isn't the US and a couple of biggest fuckwits (Germany like always, UK which isn't even in the EU, probably France and Sweden like usual) don't represent the whole continent. That's like saying the US has dumb gun and theft laws because California has them.
Here in Poland I can say whatever the fuck I want except for libel (for a good reason and also illegal in the US) and promoting totalitarianism (based, might also be illegal in the US?). And for the former the usual punishment is a public apology, not a bajilion dollar lawsuit, and the latter is not even strictly enforced (shame, commies should get regularly beaten by the police to simulate their desired state without ruining everything for everyone else).
Now, this might get outdated if chat control is passed. We've repelled similar attempts in the past and will hopefully repel this one too. If we don't succeed, it will retroactively make you right.
@VD15 politics is a horror well within our comprehension, which just makes it more depressing

📢📢📢 Urgent call for action against Chat Control!
The EU still wants to pass the infamous "Chat Control" law, that would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and can transform EU into a digital Gulag. Currently only 3 countries oppose this law, while 15 member states support it and 9 remain indecisive.
This means, the balance can still be shifted! It is very important to influence at least those who are in doubt. For instance, you can contact a MEP (Member of the European Parliament) and demand to oppose to Chat Control.
There is a tool that automates the process of writing and sending such letters:
Please check it out and send at least one letter!

hey guys isn't it soo annoying when you're using an encrypted messaging app and it tells you "could not decrypt" haha
good news: we're working hard on making this illegal. in a way
@EUCommission do you know what journalists need to be free? Safe, encrypted channels of communication that can't be easily sniffed on and censored by their governments. Talking about press freedom when #ChatControl is considered again is circus behaviour.

FYI the ebook of Old Man's War is going for $1.99 here in US/Canada at (most) ebook stores, for, I think, today. Get it! Cheap! And then buy all the rest of the series including the upcoming seventh installment, The Shattering Peace! The cats need tuna!

I am reminded of Pulse on BeOS, which would allow you to disable CPUs on a multiprocessor system by simply unchecking a box in the UI.
There was nothing stopping you from disabling all CPUs.

@foone maybe the author doesn't know what RAM is and all state is saved by directly mem-mapping the exe?

@xgqt it was mostly working in 2024 https://catfox.life/2024/09/05/porting-systemd-to-musl-libc-powered-linux/
AFAIK the main problem is that the venn diagram of people liking systemd enough to work on it and people liking musl enough to work on it is two nearly separate circles. So there's nobody to flesh it out.
I love when an article looks like it would be bait, but it's just… true.

For 20 years Mozilla has developed one of, if not the most useful tools that web developers have.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/blog/mdn-turns-20/
Congratulations to the MDN team on such an awesome milestone. I'm happy that we've played some small part in its history and I'm excited to see how it continues to be central to every web developers job.

@jak2k @infobeautiful about as much as C++ is a C dialect. Not really.
