I kinda disagree - that’s not to say that they don’t usually do so for illegitimate reasons (or that these bans are legitimate), but there’s plenty of valid reasons why a government would want/need to ban a platform
X, for example, has been giving the UK a whole lot of good reasons why they may wish to consider it (restoring the accounts of people like Tommy Robinson, allowing misinformation, the owner of the platform himself actively spreading that misinformation)
I, too, work in a similar type of company, and can confirm from experience that Linux can get just as absolutely fucked up by a bad kernel module as windows.
And it’s not just changes to the module that can cause things to go wrong.
For example, the kernel released alongside the latest Ubuntu LTS included a change that conflicted with our module behaviour, so machines with that kernel or newer would panic on boot.
It was a super minor change, but when you’re deep in the weeds, it’s really easy for these things to be brittle. But that’s just an inherent consequence of the fact that this sort of stuff is intrinsically low-level interaction with the OS itself.
Pleasure doing business, good sir
How is turning it off an improvement over lockdown? I was under the impression that the security impact is basically the same

It’s just a shitpost, not a declaration that Trump was some great American historical figure, chill

Does it behave the same if you refer to it as “the war in Gaza”/“Israel-Palestine conflict” or similar?
I wouldn’t be surprised if it trips up on making the inference from Oct 7th to the (implicit) war.
Edit: I tested it out, and it’s not that - formatting the question the same for Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine respectively does still yield those results. Horrifying.
Yes, you’re definitely getting ratiod into oblivion because there’s a shadowy cabal of around 30 people who spend their days downvoting your posts, specifically.
Definitely not just that your take is bad, and your response to criticism of that take is even worse.
I’ve heard very good things about wireguard-easy to simplify the config and management, too
As far as I’m aware, twitter has actually been a lot smaller in terms of users than you might imagine from its influence.
It has a relatively low number of active users, but the fact it’s designed to be a centralised public forum (rather than users being selective who can follow them like Facebook) means it is/was very attractive for businesses, celebrities and politicians.
Ayyyyy
The original example was doing the unwrap_within an iterator doing some string parsing, so there was a lot of unrelated boilerplate around the actual unwrapping that made it really unclear, as well as usual unwrap_or_else to produce a constant value
Ehhh, I was more using get_default as a placeholder for some function, as opposed to representing Default::default for the inner type specifically. I think it should be alright since only people familiar with rust would know about the default trait anyway. I did consider adding an unwrap_or_default example, but thought it was getting a bit off topic at that point.
You’ll be happy to hear I’ve updated the example to be not bad
Damn, they really just made that example as ugly as possible huh
Eh, I think there’s definitely some legitimacy to doing a virus scan for applications with unrecognised signatures
Not everyone knows how to (or even can for many apps) manually verify the authenticity of their apks
And plenty of non-technical people will just install random shit from the internet without thinking
if it is so clearly superior to capitalism, then such a company would outperform its competitors and naturally lead to a proliferation of communism that way, because most or all of its competitors would end up adopting it
Tell me you have absolutely no idea what an economic system is without saying it. It’s not a method for optimising the amount of money that can be squeezed out of a business.
I don’t support any political system
Okay, well there’s no point discussing them ever I guess, cool, back to feudalism everyone. Thank goodness you saved us from wasting our time trying to find a system that ensures quality of life.
To be perfectly honest with you, it’s immensely clear that you really don’t have even the most basic idea of what communism is, but you have decided that whatever it is, it’s terrible. There’s no point having a discussion if you refuse to actually understand the subject of the discussion.
Let’s leave these here - you’re clearly not interested in actually considering the concepts, so there’s nothing to be gained from this. It’ll save us both a lot of wasted further time.
Wrong comment mate
You’re working on the assumption that violence just creates random inequality whenever it occurs, rather than that the use of violence in our current system is a tool used with intent to maintain the status quo.
Deciding we shouldn’t make any change to our economic system because police would still be necessary is, frankly, an absurd stance to take. To be clear, communism is not an alternative to democracy, it’s an economic not political system, though of course its ideals do align with democracy.
So you don’t support any political system? Or do you have some magic solution in which everyone magically lives in harmony?
Lula Brazil is very different from bolsonaro Brazil
