Ugh, still to this day, persistant file storage is either "the cloud" or file APIs that altho secure, don't allow for saving overtop of existing files. really annoying.
Always wanted to make an alternate content distrobution system. Without being an ISP, your eather not allowed to encrypt it (http only for IP over radio) or the signals dont go far enough without mass adoption (wifi mesh network) It exists but Amazon and Apple etc own it and those frequencies are a warzone. Physical distrobution is mesured is days and weeks.
Is the reason (Im assuming you ment) it can't survive a repeater survive a repeater because it collects and recreates the particle?
These cables are ment for logical data transport.
I found This on the same site as @mosiacmango@lemm.ee. Doesn't sound 100% like their intent (unless whatever is "next" is a place to fill out personal details). However loading a webpage is enherantly at least a little bit risky.
It's a programing term that comes from the phrase "shooting yourself in the foot". Come to think about it, a loaded gun is a great example of safety mechinisms.
People are idiots and will get themselves hurt. The machine should prevent them to keep them safe at all costs.
Or
without guardrails, people are vulnerable idiots and I am too. Let the machine prevent them until they understand and accept the risk.
As memtioned elsewhere in the thread, political pressure prevents implementation of safe systems.
I absolutely love safeguards and being safe because foot guns are nasty. (Its why Rust is a great language.) but I will fight against things clearly created under the former philosophy because it locks people out of their own property. Because sometimes the "safety" is an excuse for controlling behavor.
For me there are programs that "can acceptably use that much RAM" and those that it's "unacceptable", to me.
what's 20% to 40% of my gaming rig's resources may be uncomfortably taxing and laggy for my laptop.
Its okay to waste resources on my gaming rig but the laptop needs all it can get. I accept some software will not reasonably run on the laptop.
My employer has stuck me on 10yo hardware before, running windows 10 pro + intrusive expensive antivirus and nobody is around to question why their computers are getting 5-15fps and locking up for a minute or two when you open chrome. It becomes normal.
Any software is the host and/or backbone for other running software should focus on reducing it's own resource usage for the sake of its children.
On windows, "its optional" means somthing diffrent than on linux.
On linux a feature like this is just a command or a toggle switch in the settings.
Its admittedly a neat concept, I use OBS for this verry reason, to capture moments where I didnt think to press "record" beforehand. An (unprivlaged, no internet access) userland foreground app with "start/stop/delete past hour" buttons. All from the easy to understand from a glance taskbar icon.
Sadly, we only got a few of these safety features later on because like software, people will also refuse to buy a car without seatbelts or working breaks.
People are saying "no!" now so they dont have to say no later when its much harder to say no (when its in your home, on your pc). Microsoft plugs their ears when their customers say "it's unsafe" and "no means no" because they want you to partake in this transaction with them reguardless of if you do.
