I cannot fathom the cognitive dissonance of the author of this sentence:"As an independent, non-profit-backed browser, we get to make decisions that benefit our users, not just the bottom line."https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/true-colors-with-firefox-pixar-animation-studios-turning-red/

C++ modules seem to be collapsing under the weight of their own complexityhttps://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/18355

@lanodan This looks especially bad though... the standard is years old now and nobody has a fully functioning implementation??

@lanodan From that discussion it seems that nobody has implemented it because the standard has bizarro overcomplications because... someone gives a shit about IBM z/OS????

@lanodan Crap like that makes it seem like Rust not supporting exotic architectures is a feature, not a bug.

@lanodan At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if C++20 modules literally never get implemented and C++23 has to remove crap to make it remotely reasonable to implement.

@lanodan 'The C++ standard has no way of talking about "file paths" or "file systems", so specifying that as how modules are to be implemented is problematic as far as the standard is concerned. One thing is that C++ has to contend with non-ASCII-compatible environments (such as z/OS where EBCDIC still rules) where what import module; means requiring a transformation for any lookup on such platforms.'https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/18355#note_1150864

@lanodan 'Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code is an eight-bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems. It descended from the code used with punched cards and the corresponding six-bit binary-coded decimal code used with most of IBM's computer peripherals of the late 1950s and early 1960s.'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBCDICSo C++ 2020 modules are unimplementable because of backwards compatibility with tech literally from the 1950s?

@seachaint @eloquence @furkachi These issues are why I'm now advocating the term "cooperative technology" to move on from both "free software" and "open source". It gets the point across better than either and I think it will be harder for capitalists to coopt. Interestingly, it was discussed at the meeting where the term "open source" was settled on, but "open source" was chosen because it was watered down ideologically and therefore acceptable to capitalists. https://fosstodon.org/@be/105983348184637951

@seachaint @eloquence @furkachi I think we need a new vocabulary that isn't a sell out to capitalists and also isn't associated with Stallman's pedantry, misogyny, and other problematic behavior.

@furkachi @seachaint @eloquence I think the time is ripe as many are seriously questioning the limits of Stallman's philosophy and tactics. I don't think retreating to "open source" would be a good solution for all the reasons Stallman has criticized it for since the beginning.
