You really trust a company(google) who warns users about malware from apks(non-google).. and then hosts plenty of unchecked malware in their own store. Im sick of this shit. I have my own friends distrusting me because of what google is telling them.
Google is corrupt
We share a public space with LLMs now
"In kernel development, debugging is very hard for several reasons:
- Documentation is often hard to find, and BIOS implementations may be flawed (more often than you would think)
- On boot, the kernel has full access to the memory and is allowed to write where it should not (its own code, for example)
- Troubleshooting memory leaks is not easy. Tools such as valgrind cannot be used
- gdb can be used with QEMU and VMWare, but the kernel may have a different behaviour when running on a different emulator or virtual machine. Also, those emulators may not support gdb (example VirtualBox)
- Some features in the support for gdb in QEMU or VMWare are missing and gdb might even crash sometimes
All those issues are reasons for using a memory-safe language, to avoid them as much as possible.
Overall, the use of Rust in the kernel allowed for the implementation of a lot of safeguards. And I believe that it is, to this day, the best decision I have made for this project."
I think this is really cool.
But..
What it is: low bandwidth literal physical replacement of internet infrastructure. Often seen as a very extreme manuver.
Meanwhile: there are various overlay projects like i2p which, unfortunately, create new internets which [almost totally] reliance on the old internet. But they do cooler shit.
Diaspora allows for whitelisting visibility of posts to certain users(and servers.. depending on where users are hosted)
POS does not consume resources.
This goes to show how low-effort the criticism campaigns are.
However... all cryptos have their health tied to bitcoin which is a large energy consumer. So the point is actually still very true (due to some other reason).
Also antihistamines
immediately followed by the rollout of Google Self-Driving Car ~~Project~~ Business -Waymo
Thats one way to deal with inflation
