So instead of fixing the balance with your human Rust code, you instead associate the language as slop because people choose it for their slop projects since it’s much safer and fast?

If anything, the slop projects working efficiently and not crashing every 5 minutes is the best proof you can have that Rust is uniquely great at what it offers, every language should aim to protect the program from its weakest link programmer which is AI in this case

Yeah especially in the Balkan regions socialism was very flawed. Still, I struggle to imagine how you can imagine a better future with capitalism the way things are going than with a, flawed even, form of socialism with the material conditions that are possible in our times.

I’d love to see that, but I suppose they don’t want any more of Mordor’s gaze turning on them until the scale of world politics finally starts turning to socialism and they can pull off stuff like that without putting everything at risk

it’s almost impossible to bring up marx without people becoming hysterical

It’s even sadder when you think that not so long ago it used to be a socialist country (with its flaws of course)

Oh nooo, the spy glasses I got for being a disgusting pervert in public are spying on me

The main concern is that attested passkey requirement will now be the easiest way to force specific software and hardware upon user. The GraphenOS example is a good one.

Exactly, and it doesn’t take any effort to come up with software that will make it impossible for most people to even consider doing things a different way than big tech wants them to. Download the wrong app, use the wrong OS, attempt in any way to reclaim your privacy, and all of a sudden you can’t be authorized to open your own banking app because of some bullshit “security” message. What option does that leave you? Either become a hermit and reject all technology with whatever cost that has for you, especially in a decade or two as technology transitions to something completely mandatory for everyone, or fall in line and use everything the way they intend you to.

I was specifically calling out the hypocrisy of the USA’s excuses to do imperialism. With that said though, it is now clear as day that while China has the ability to do what the USA is doing technologically, they are using that surveillance more sparingly and for better reasons than the USA. It’s not in China that masked thugs are scanning you with their phones hoping to lock you up in some undocumented place and then either keep you there or send you to a random country away from your family.

I’m not a fan of mass surveillance in any case, but it’s just so hilariously ironic that the same people who fearmongered 24/7 in their media about China being this panopticon dystopia, are the same ones now exceeding this in every way imaginable, far surpassing the imagination of fiction like 1984 or Black Mirror.
