You’ve shifted the problem of corruption from the cops to the programmers

Unless you make their code open source, but even then, there’s still a person/entity responsible for managing the code

Computers aren’t divorced from human biases. They do exactly what you’ve told them to do, even if you didn’t intend for the exact outcome.

There’s no “do the right thing” instruction. You have to mathematically define what “the right thing” is as a series of numerical instructions

Something needs to fill the role of civil protection services

Though, how to do that without encouraging corruption, i dunno

Hyperfocus does not allow for frivolities such as walking, peripheral vision, eating, or sleeping

Something about this composition is giving AI, but the line art says hand made…

Traced AI art, perhaps?

You know, you could just ask what that means

s/org/li means replace org with li

Do not remove the load-bearing whimsy

I did do the Nasty in the Pasty

AI slop

I can’t wait for all the new year’s resolutioners to show up at the gym so I can smash them

It’s not an exaggeration

They are selling user data for profit. It’s anonymized sure, but it’s still selling user data

TL;DR Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about “selling data”), and we don’t buy data about you. We changed our language because some jurisdictions define “sell” more broadly than most people would usually understand that word. Firefox has built-in privacy and security features, plus options that let you fine-tune your data settings.

Removing “no we will never sell your data” from your Q/A page is not a good look

Servo and Ladybird are in the works. They’re both new browsers built from scratch, but they’re both largely still in alpha

Firefox is the biggest non-chromium browser competitor, and was an advocate of privacy and not selling user data

But they recently did a 180, started selling user data, and are now shoving FF full of AI bloatware nobody wants

So the userbase is feeling very betrayed

Null island?

Not wanting to maintain a multi-language repo, and not wanting to maintain support for rust integration

Edit: I kinda assumed the guy in the pic was that kernel maintainer who kept throwing a stink about Rust code, but it’s apparently not

I like solving puzzles, and I have a knack for programming specifically

OwO

But it doesn’t have any built-in concept of users, write permissions, or authentication (except for commit signing)

Hosting an unauthenticated git repo would be the equivalent to an open ssh port with no password required

Not to mention collaborative things like issue tracking, PRs, forums, etc

I wonder if it’d be feasible to make a fediverse github

Python

It’s an amazing scripting language, and my goto for writing automation scripts.

It’s the most lenient of the 3 with dynamic typing and managed memory. It’ll let you learn the basics of reading / writing / running code as well as basic control flow and logic

C is also great to learn, as it teaches you how computers work at a fundamental level, but it’s more stuff to learn up front, and can lead to some very difficult to fix bugs

Java is good as an “application” language. Being memory managed like Python, but statically typed like C. Static typing makes it easier to manage larger code bases
