@trinsec Born from a programmer's laziness. The ultimate irony.

For the highest level of meta, you can have a program which writes an implementation writing program which writes an implementation, lol.

I could do something very crazy. I could write an implementation writing program.

Let's see if anything has changed in Go since I last played with it.

This round is likely going to be a lot more technical than anything else, so I guess there won't be more polls.

Hope you enjoyed the poll.

@trinsec Admittedly, I'm not just talking to you, I figured that would be something interesting to add to my feed too, lol.

I'm aware the EFF ruffled someone's feathers for... Uh... Being principled about protecting the Internet, rather than taking extreme measures to take down one specific unpleasant site.

That's kind of the reason they exist though (and they appear to have come up with alternate avenues which might help tackle this class of problem in the general).

@trinsec To start with though, "propaganda" posits that there is some shadowy person with shadowy scheme out there. This is in stark opposition to the far more mundane explanation of people standing up for their own rights.

Or I suppose, women embracing a higher quality of life, rather than being strictly controlled about what they can do and wear.

So, you're kind of going to get some craziness there, or that's my opinion. I can't really comment that much on this one.

@trinsec Once you're paranoid enough to pass a "propaganda" law, you're just looking for shadows in everything, I guess?

It's like those dictators who were worried about women wearing shorts or jeans or something, I can't recall exactly, because it might spread "Western influence".

I suppose "propaganda" is also very vague, if it's due to some law, although it could be just as cultural.
