Takes too much energy. Deport him out of the solar system and let him spout his nonsense to Voyager.

No, the OSI model is fine.

I'm talking more about sandboxing an interpreted app that runs a container that runs another sandboxed interpreted app, both running their own instances of their interpreter with their own dependencies and accessible through a web interface that is accessible through yet another container running a web server that is running in Python with a virtual environment despite being the only Python app on the container, which is then connected to from another sandboxed tab on a sandboxed browser on your machine.

But hey, at least it isn't, god forbid, a MONOLITH. That would require someone to take the time to understand how the application works.

Not that I think this isn't hilarious, but to quote Trump's own idiotic ramblings, "Nobody knows what an app is." His redneck supporters that don't trust such fancy lib'ral scams as "mail" and "locked drop boxes" sure aren't going to understand using an app to book a seat in a movie theater.

Their UX and UI are their bread and butter, but as someone who has done extensive web app development for use on Safari browsers, if I had a nickel for every time their browser just IGNORED a standard, broke one that previously worked, or added new "features" that broke a standard, passing the responsibility of building a workaround down to individual developers... I'd have a few dollars anyway. I don't have much faith their code is all that good compared to average under the hood and the UI, and I think their reputation unjustly leads users to turn a blind eye or give them a pass when their stuff DOESN'T work or works BADLY. "They're Apple... everyone else seems happy. I must be doing something wrong."

It doesn't help that every new generation adds a new blackbox abstraction layer with little to no end-user benefit, the possibility of duplicated functionality and poor implementation, security concerns, poor support, and requiring a flashy new CPU with system crashing speed tricks to maintain a responsive environment through 12 levels of interpreters.

Yes! Containerize, containerize, containerize until every perfectly good machine built before 2020 is rotting away in a landfill!

They don't. But if they already have it in for someone, which the Democrats in Congress almost certainly do right now, public opinion can give them a cover to act.

It's certainly not for our benefit, but if one group of shitlords wants to take another shitlord down a few pegs, I'm certainly going to enjoy the show.

YOU might not. But I'm sure the politicians and bureaucrats who determine whether Musk's businesses continue getting billions in taxpayer funded subsidies would sure like to know if the public is behind continuing to do that. I for one would consider it a bonus if say, the Democrats won control in November, looked at the numbers and decided none of their supporters are behind Musk, determined he's been playing fast and loose using taxpayer dollars to fund pushing his own political agenda, and turned off the free ride.

Perhaps, but that motivation is only useful when it can be translated into political action - not creating an untrained army to be fed directly into fascist prisons and police brutality meat grinders.

You might be creating more revolutionaries under a conservofascist administration, but in practice it's just doing this:

Edit: You don't even need to look far into the past to see that this doesn't work. Look at Hong Kong. The city's leadership swung to fascism, and your prediction came true. Some of the biggest protests in the history of the city by some of the most motivated demonstrators... followed by a brutal crackdown, arrest, exile, and now fascist control of the city is more or less guaranteed for generations. The population is no longer CAPABLE of mounting ANY kind of resistance. Yes, Hong Kong had its fascism forced on it rather than choosing it at the ballot box, but the result will be the same. Fascism doesn't care how it gets its power.

None of that is incompatible or inconsistent with a Harris victory. If this is your expressed goal and desired outcome, it is MUCH easier to do under Harris than under Trump where any action you take is more or less guaranteed to be met with responses from any number of empowered supremacist groups.

Also, I only EVER hear these revolutionary ideas and pushes during the last 6 months before an election when people proudly virtue signal about their intent not to vote for the Democrat. Just like with third parties, where is all of this political will and activity during the off-years when there's time to actually BUILD a grassroots movement?

I'm with you. Our choices suck. The time to start doing something about that is November 6th, after the election is won and a backslide has been prevented. Build out a movement and come back in 2028 with a platform, a base, and a candidate.

They were as bad, but there weren't so many. Most of them weren't "activated" yet.

Yeah, it sounds like the kind of thing you could do but would pay out the butt for as a private service. Road map books and asking directions were my go-to.

Of course, post-internet but pre-GPS there was always mapquest.

To be fair, I think people looked at the folks who were into mermaids as outlandish too. "Been around for a long time" doesn't mean the same thing as "totally accepted socially".

I mean, it would make sense.

The only way a conspiracy theorist can be swayed is if being right isn't a win condition. If there's no other person to feel better than when you're debating, something might actually sink in.

I know the cultural context and respect it as different from my own.

But it will never stop being viscerally disgusting to my personal sensibilities.

Every time I just suck it up. Pun intended.

Ramen. And they are slurping like an 85 year old man who hasn't had to care in 6 decades.
