I’d love to share your optimism, especially regarding that last sentence. As long as Google controls the most popular web browser out there, I don’t see the arms race ever stopping, they’ll just come up with something else. It wouldn’t be the first time they push towards something nobody asked for that only benefits themselves.

It desperately needs interface types if we ever hope to make it a serious contender for general purpose web development. The IO overhead of having to interface with JS to use any web API is itself pretty slow, and is limiting a lot of usecases.

Considering the community we are on, I assumed the criticism was more about the privacy problems surrounding the engine and browser security model than the quality of the language itself. If that was the intent, I mean… Yeah, its weak typing is a fucking mess.

The stuff like Flash, Java applets and Silverlight it eventually replaced were arguably even worse. There’s a legitimate need to run client-side code at times, IMHO the mistake was making it so permissive by default. Blaming the language for the bad browser security model is kind of throwing away the baby with the bathwater.

Which generation is that? I’ll be honest, I’ve yet to talk to someone who really gives a crap about where the content they’re consuming is coming from. Hell, most people I’ve dealt with don’t give a crap about content being pirated whenever it happens to be the more convenient option.

What’s wrong with alternatives?

It’s not so much opposition rather than other BSDs having almost negligible desktop presence… If we really want to get into semantics, too, Linux is technically not UNIX.

several reasons […] certain needed soft, etc

The people who really think of age verification as effective measures tend to also be against having those in schools in the first place.

The user is describing iOS’ share sheet, which Signal seems to advertise as a feature. The OS isn’t reaching in and grabbing data, Signal is providing data to the OS.

Also note that said user signaled this on the Signal-Android repo, which combined with their inability to find this info, when i don’t even own an iOS device, makes me think they aren’t the most observant user out there.

First two sentences of that readme:

Valetudo is a cloud replacement for vacuum robots enabling local-only operation. It is not a custom firmware.

Facebook, Google et al. literally just said “fuck it” and stopped serving news content to Canadian and Australian users when they tried legislating around it. I’m curious if UK users won’t just get geoblocked out of many major services lol

I was about to ask the same question. It’s one thing to think of the potential impacts of AI technology, but to be “against AI” in the most general sense is, to me, a weird concept, especially considering AI is so many things.

OP still wants search indexing, in which case it’s a big no-no - it can be perceived as spam by search engines, and links your pages to tons of unrelated keywords.
