Which format?
What algorithim?
How do you prevent it from being sent to the wrong domain and enabling MITM phishing?
X.509 has a lot of issues but they've thought through a number of things. Whatever you replace it with would have similar problems. Even if you "just sent a key" it would have to be parsed in some way (Say it's RSA, you'd still have to pull the module and exponent out before you could do anything with it, if the channel is text you'd probably do some base64 decoding etc.)
Monogamy in particular also leveled the playing field to some degree with dating so that you didn't get the "winner takes all" situation you have today. I think the both the death of monogamy and masculinity are the underlying causes of the "incel" phenomenon. The worst part about it is that many of the effected people push for neoliberal ideas harder because they've been brainwashed to think of them as the solution.
Also banks: "Why can't we get our money back out of Russia?"
Sometimes I can't tell if all of this is just a dumb joke.
I've completely given up any kind of hope for iOS.
I hoped for years iOS would do reasonable things like allowing side loading or multitasking or push notifications. Apple knows these things would improve the platform, they don't do them because it would cut into their profits. If these features are ever added to the platform they will be handicapped in some way that makes them almost useless.
It's limited but there is filesystem access and you could always just make your own ramfs.
>No network
Websockets are allowed to connect to arbitrary IPs. It would be nice if you could give apps permissions for TCP/UDP but what most people do is have a websocket "adapter" server of some kind that at least lets you connect to the local services. Others (like jslinux) will do TUN/TAP over websockets which is horrendous but does technically work.
What you could port is the GNU userspace (which is probably closer to what you're thinking.) One of the issues with porting software like that though is it expects complete control over its own process (and will put eg long running loops in it) which isn't how browsers expect software to run. Maybe you could do something fancy with continuations in the C runtime (emscripten probably already does) but it wouldn't be so strait forward.
I'm not sure what advantage having a shell in the browser would have over just running the individual apps as webasm ports. There's less to worry about then.
>retro gaming and opening legacy files
I don't think a webasm OS port makes as much sense for these use cases as a webasm VM. There are plenty of those: jslinux.org gives you a full Linux VM with an optional paid file sync service and internet access. Archive.org automatically opens com/exe files in the emscripten dosbox port, you can even run Windows 3.1: https://archive.org/details/msdos_win3_1
It would be kind of neat if more open source software had online "try me" pages that let you run the app in eg jslinux or dosbox before downloading and installing it.
In fact I can't think of another product that's more quintessentially millennial than the Wii.
I've only really tried AT&Ts gateways in the US from gmail, maybe something has changed but it never worked for me.
Lol. Are you from Europe? Neither the town I grew up in nor any of its neighbors have any kind of public transit whatsoever. Want to go to court and then go to the library while you wait for your friend to pick you up? (since you can't bring a cell phone) I hope you have a good pair of walking shoes.
The place I currently live (just 8 miles away from the capital of a coastal state) has very dodgy transit. I think it might stop twice every weekday or something like that and just goes strait to the hub downtown. It's completely impractical.
This truly is the right way to handle PSK auth. The "UX" for it isn't as nice as some people would like though.
That's not what it's about, it's about weather you consent to third party cookies or not.
It does make you wonder why it was removed though. I can't imagine it was difficult to maintain.
The advantage to syntax though is that it's all verbal which makes it far easier to communicate. Visual stuff needs multiple images and often video to fully communicate which is slow and more constraining.
>Learning syntax as a filter
Syntax is one of the most universal things about our psychology. The idea that some people have it and others don't seems a little absurd to me.
