bombolo··on Petition to stop France from forcing browsers like Firefox to censor websites
I mean, study some history… with the emperor they still fared much better than before. Which is why they loved the emperor.

But I understand that the anglosaxon history might be a bit biased and edited.

Perhaps it is like refueling: it is normally done before the engine stops because there is 0 fuel left.

And we can all agree that french revolution values are much better than whatever crap the rest of europe was pushing?

For the kings sure… for the people much less.

Imagine england being defeated and india being free of colonialism.

bombolo··on German Cabinet approves liberalization of Cannabis Possession
In italy the constitutional court blocked a referendum on the matter to be held (I suppose because they didn't want people to turn up and vote, and there were other questions about the legal system that they preferred failing due to insufficient quorum).

bombolo··on Rust vs. Go in 2023
Nah, pure python are the easiest to package of course. But C ones with an author who knows what he's doing aren't much more painful to package.

Do engineers often download projects from university students and then decide that the university student should get no money and all the jail time if the building falls?
bombolo··on Rust vs. Go in 2023
Yeah multiple attempts are done to put liability on open source library developers.

Terrible idea.

bombolo··on Ode to the M1
Do you have a point to make or are you here just to be angry because you do write code for electron?
bombolo··on Ode to the M1
Multiple copies of the same binary can't share a memory page for the code. They do take more RAM.
bombolo··on Ode to the M1
Ah, you live in a parallel universe which is the same as ours but Qt and other frameworks to do exactly this but without wasting a ton of resources don't exist?
bombolo··on Ode to the M1
A thinkpad keyboard replacement cost ~50$ last time I needed it (and I thought it was unreasonably expensive).
bombolo··on Ode to the M1
Also, but it's easier in C++ and it consumes 99% less resources.

Decent developers can do that in C++

> ...vs cryptographic proof someone had access to your ID card

Which isn't what we are discussing here, this was the point… :)

bombolo··on eSignature Beta for Google Docs and Google Drive
Why make a proper real legal signature when you can just copy paste a scanned .jpg file at the end of a document (or do something equally useless)?
bombolo··on eSignature Beta for Google Docs and Google Drive
Being available doesn't mean it's considered legally valid. I can sign with the private key on my national id…

bombolo··on PyPI Requires 2FA for New User Registrations
I also ave a hardware key, I got it for free last year.

It doesn't take 10 seconds. It takes remembering to keep it with me when I travel.

Also with 2FA the risk of being permanently locked out of my account increases A LOT.

With a bank or similar I can show up to their office, show my id and reset all access. With websites there is NOBODY responding. I've tried taking over an abandoned project on pypi for which I've done several contributions before the owner disappeared. Never got any response.

So losing the keys means that I have to fork my own project :D
