That’s fucked up. Why don’t they just tell parents to turn on their damn parental control settings if they care that much about the content their kids consume?

There are more besides just graphene though

Or… just don’t use android. There’s a few degoogled forks out there, they should really catch on.

“The tighter you squeeze, the more slips through your fingers.”

Also, we all know this isn’t about keeping malicious apps off people’s devices, because even the play store is full of malicious apps. I’d trust anything on F-droid more.

My last straw was when I had location services permission denied to chrome, and then one day discovered that it had turned them back on without notifying me…

Also, every time my apps updated they gave themselves back permissions that I had disabled.

I love ice cream but I would be very ill with an infinitely refilling bowl.

That’s a really good analogy

How does one seek initiation into the Order of Torvalds? Asking for a friend…

Is that real? Holy shit. Linux is based on a grimoire!

It provides a natural stopping point, which as another user explained requires a conscious effort to continue rather than infinite scrolling which requires a conscious effort to stop.

It doesn’t sound like much, but it can be those little things that make the difference. A little bit less on one side of the scale, and a little bit more on another.

I know I find myself scrolling for way longer than I intended, and when I look back and realize how much I scrolled it always seems to surprise me. Sometimes I tell myself I’m about to stop, but I just keep going. I see another headline at the bottom of the screen and have to click on it. After that I see another one below it, etc. Sometimes I have to scroll so the screen ends on one post, and I won’t let it show the one below it, cause otherwise I might never stop.

People whose minds are already wired for addiction can struggle with this. Just like with beer. “One felt good, so twelve must feel twelve times as good.” It’s a subconscious process, but it can feel like a vortex and be really hard to escape.

Pagination would take away that “mindless” aspect, and for instance I could see when I reach page 10 or whatever and decide that’s far enough. Or I could hop on and just scroll one page. Or I could scroll a few pages and then say “Okay at the bottom of this page I’m stopping.” It’s much easier that way for people who struggle with it.

The problems are interconnected and should both be addressed. If this is a sore spot for you then you might want to consider your own scrolling habits…

I wonder if someone techy can turn the Sworn Book of Honorius into a software program that actually summons spirits and grants powers.

Fun fact though, Trithemius (an influential Renaissance occultist) authored the Steganographia, which provided the basis upon which modern cryptography was built.

Anubis is supposed to filter out and block all those bots from accessing your webpage.

Iocaine, nepenthes, and/or madore’s book of infinity are intended to redirect them into a maze of randomly generated bullshit, which still consumes resources but is intended to poison the bots’ training data.

So pick your poison

That sounds like iocaine and the book of infinity

What license is FreeBSD under?

I agree

Makes sense. Thanks!

It does sound interesting, but I was mostly joking just to extend the copypasta.

I don’t know enough about programming to know whether it’s even suitable for writing a kernel. As far as I’m aware, Lua is mostly used for embedding scripts like in games, but the engines themselves are better written in C or Rust. I would assume a similar concept applies for writing a Kernel.

Perhaps it would have made more sense if I said Fortran or PS-Algol. It would have been more clear that it was a shitpost

I see. That makes sense.

So if the kernel were written in a language licensed under GPL, for instance, Ubuntu would either have to ditch their proprietary blobs or make their own kernel?

If I had to guess, the only reason Rust might be controversial to some people is probably because they’re used to C and likely set in their ways. Someone who’s been programming since the 80s and doesn’t want to learn a new language cause maybe they’ll feel like a newbie again and can’t be smug about knowing every possible command in C anymore. Just a guess…

What’s the advantage of GPL? As far as I’m aware MIT and Apache are both FOSS. But I’m new to this and still learning.

I don’t know what the big deal about Rust is. It seems like a cool language to me…

I don’t see any future for Zig/D/Hare and forcing such ugly language in the kernel might lead to problems.

Arcterus is to blame here more than Zig/D/Hare. Fennel would be much more straightforward and welcomed by the kernel community update from C. And Arcterus is afraid of Fennel.

Zig/D/Hare will kill Linux if it persists there long enough .

Oh, fair enough. Thanks
