snickerdoodle12··on Show HN: Doom port to pure Go – Gore
All I know is that, as a user, whenever I encounter a .net project I have to put in more effort to run it versus a golang project.

This matters for these tools because they're usually distributed via npm packages and then invoked by a javascript wrapper. So you want something with a small binary that runs on pretty much every windows/mac/linux system no matter the configuration.

You should probably go to youtube and search for "musk salute" and watch that video a few times. Then go watch a few videos you find after searching for "nazi salute".

Unless there is something seriously wrong with you, you'll come to the right conclusion.

.net is also a pain to distribute since it typically isn't packaged as a single static binary and requires a separately installed runtime

Not sure what you're even talking about, but you should probably go to youtube and search for "musk salute" and watch that video a few times. Then go watch a few videos you find after searching for "nazi salute".

What? I didn't even hear about this until this post. Crazy projection.

I wouldn't recommend self-hosting email to anyone, but the expense of paying Proton Mail is absolutely worth the peace of mind (you are in control of your email & can effortlessly switch email providers) and professional appearance.

We're talking about someone handing out $17/ea business cards here.

Hold on, let me google a proper response to this.

snickerdoodle12··on Genie 3: A new frontier for world models
Imagine you discover tech that ushers in a post-scarcity society. Let's say you make a replicator that can make anything from a bit of dirt.

Greedy people wouldn't even think about sharing this tech with the world, even though they could literally end world hunger. They will hoard it, and use it to make themselves more powerful and to kill anyone else who looks like they might discover it.

Isn't this obvious to anyone who has seen a few base64 encoded json strings or certificates? ey and LS are a staple.

Might as well just shoot yourself if that's how you look at improvements. The only way to do something good it to stop existing. (this is a general statement, not aimed at you or anyone in particular)

Yes, it'd be difficult. I have some faith that once things escalate far enough the people wielding the weapons are unwilling to murder their countrymen en masse.

Luigi Mangione has shown that all it takes is one person in the right time and place to remove some evil from the world.

I see two ways this is going to go:

1. Universal Basic Income as we're on the way to a post-scarcity society. Unlikely to actually happen due to greed.

2. We take inspiration from the french revolution and then return to a simpler time.

To be clear I'm referring to a new superweapon or defence scheme being invented that somehow makes nukes obsolete.

Imagine what Trump would do. He is already trying (and mostly failing) to strong-arm all his allies today.

Obviously it supported network requests, the fetch api didn't even exist back then, and XMLHttpRequest which was the standard at the time is insane.

snickerdoodle12··on Online Safety Act: What went wrong?
My real frustration is that it's just not a real problem. If it was we'd be seeing the negative effects of children having had access to porn today.

Instead it's clearly about control and being able to tiptoe their way to a totalitarian state.

snickerdoodle12··on Online Safety Act: What went wrong?
What is the actual problem being solved here? The only problem I see this solving is that people who wish to exert control upon others can do so.
snickerdoodle12··on Online Safety Act: What went wrong?
If the desired outcome is world peace and the means of which is murdering every human then I don't think the desired outcome is all that relevant.
snickerdoodle12··on Online Safety Act: What went wrong?
Everyone who is currently an adult and not geriatric could have had access to porn when they were a child. Is everyone fucked up? No? Why are you advocating for eliminating privacy for a made up problem?

Politicians listened to the "smart" guys from Google/Apple/Microsoft/Whatever who were there with their own ulterior motives.
snickerdoodle12··on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google
All it would leak is that an age verification request happened. The RP would request you/your browser to forward the request "hi can you pls verify if user with nonce 123456 is 18?" to your IDP of choice.

And then the IDP gives you "yes the user with nonce 123456 is 18" signed with its private key, which you forward to the RP.

The only data "leaked" would be which IDP you used to the RP, and that there was an 18+ verification request to the IDP. The IDP wouldn't need to know which RP they're signing the proof for.

This does allow proxying the requests, but honestly, how locked down does this need to be? It's far easier to just snatch your parent's drivers license or passport at that point.

snickerdoodle12··on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google
Wouldn't it make way more sense to just have the RP supply a nonce that gets signed by the IDP? Isn't this how oidc works already?
