As much as ramageddon hurts, Emacs' appetite for memory is a solved problem and you can enjoy that Emacs Macht Alle Computer SchÃn.

Would providing aid or comfort to Iran count as treason? There isn't a declared war, but there has certainly been acts of war there.

When an occupied area of Ukraine - Bucha - was reconquered, they found plenty of raped, tortured, and killed civilians. Russian soldiers referred to these operations involving hunting down people in lists, filtration, torture, and execution as zachistka ("cleansing").

A fair peace would be withdrawal from all occupied territories, war crime tribunals from the leadership down to the individuals committing acts like these, and Russia paying compensation to the families of all victims of their acts as well as for the rebuilding of Ukraine. Confiscating all oligarch wealth might be a good start there.

I'm sure they've got that. This is a later layer of defense - training users to be aware that there are bad actors out there. I'm a consultant, and the organization where I'm at (doing completely other things) has an external vendor providing this. After you identify a mail, you get some micro training as well on factors that could indicate it is targeted - e.g. domain names looking almost like the real thing, creating a sense of urgency, checking where the links go before clicking them, etc. I believe this helps create and maintain a necessary awareness, even though there are a lot of other defenses too.

Yggdrasil - that's a name I haven't heard in Linus contect for a long time. However, it was only relevant in the early 90s. Git was developed in early 2005, as a response to the controversy and problems using Bitkeeper: A proprietary distributed version control system that had provided free licenses for developers of free software, but with several caveats that many found unacceptable. In early 2005 the free license was revoked (due various unhappy devs reverse engineering it, IIRC - in particular Andrew Tridgell of Samba fame), and Linus responded by creating git.

For another blast from the past, here's an article about in the Linux Journal.

Also, in some cases there are two sides to the story. Take self driving cars: In the future, self driving cars could be safer than human drivers per kilometer driven, but still kill people due to failures in the software/hardware.

Potential gains should obviously not be a carte blanche for companies to do whatever they will with AI, but it should mean that society should have informed discussions about pros and cons for AI use in various settings. And while having people with actual knowledge being at the front of discussion, the hoi polloi should also be a part of it.

Having trouble finding employees at the same time as laying off other employees is not necessarily contradictory, unless said workers have the same skills and experience.

One theoretical example - due to automating and streamlining internal processes, you could have too mqny support staff while at the same time having a demand for experienced developers. Or a transport company 100+ years ago transitioning to lorries wouldn't need as many horse support staff as they have, while trying to recruit mechanics.

"pretty shitty/weird behavior from this dev"

I would like to contest this claim, it's not true.

I understand C well, I don't know Rust. C is like the latin of programming languages. That's why I chose C.

We are 3 developers now for the main browser.

The case for this browser, is that there needs to be multiple independents web browsers, to push for innovation. Google Chrome is NOT open source, and is bloated and monopolistic. Competition drives innovation!

Northstar browser is implements in C, takes a few minutes to compile and is secure because it doesn't rely on a JIT compiler.

Available for Windows on Windows store
Git repo https://github.com/nordstjernen-web/nordstjernen-browser.
There are 3 variants of the browser now, so we can do experiments and research. We also need funding. All variants are available open source.

We are 3 developers now, a Polish man, a Spaniard, and me in Norway.

To be able to deny this to theocratic neofascist governments like Texas, the data is not available to Apple - it is stored encrypted on the device, and protected with end to end encryption so Apple can't read it. Easier to just subpoena all cell records of fertile women, and see if they are near women's health care locations out of state. Or just deny them the possibility of leaving the state at all.

"Negligence"/"carelessness" vs "intent" is a difference between manslaughter and premeditated murder, to give one example.

Another: Let's say that you run a popular bar, and you've neglected a lot of regulations - a fire happens, and many die. You can and should be held accountable for that, even if you didn't intend to kill them.
