@ariaflame@masto.ai @NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net @mementomaori@indg.club you're right, the key issue is that the USA admits they carry nuclear bombs to allied nations, but just not when and where, this is a significant issue for non-nuclear armed allies who become the target of attack as a result of credible US threats of nuclear strikes from those regions

@ariaflame@masto.ai @NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net @mementomaori@indg.club big difference between "technically it could be done" and "they admit they're doing it"

@brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org wait... xdg-open ignores the config files? I've never had this issue before, it literally always respects my MIME settings, that sounds super weird and broken lol

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo despite the shitty aspects of their technology they're still genuinely a world leader in privacy preserving messaging protocols tbh

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo yeah, and they still require phone numbers for signs ups which is dumb garbage, but they also literally invented the double ratchet encryption algorithm for instant messaging, they implemented sealed sender for hiding user metadata, and in various ways have done legitimate research on defending against online surveillanceyou win some and lose some, Moxie isn't a perfect human being, but signal keeps getting recommended because it's genuinely doing better than 90% of other messaging platforms out there in terms of privacy for their users, even if it does have dumb shit like google play integration still

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo you should go use something with objectively worse encryption and security then, nobody is stopping you from making dumb choices because you don't like the way Signal worksbut everyone else will still recommend it because their tech is good, you shouldn't be confused about that LOL

@icedquinn@blob.cat @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @theorytoe@ak.kyaruc.moe @sun@shitposter.world AML/KYC has stacks and stacks of reports about how it entirely failed as a system to prevent fraud or harmful financing, the banking sector itself reports that less than 1% of AML/KYC checks prevent any kind of "harmful financing"the USD is still the most widely used criminal currency on earth as a resulthttps://www.cato.org/blog/money-laundering-laws-ineffective-expensive

@nobody@mastodon.acm.org sounds pretty unreasonable, border forces should not really care about such things unless they have some reason to investigate an individual tbh

@brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org why does my browser think it knows better than me when it comes to the location of downloads? when even let me choose a location if it's just going to automatically re-create the default folder forever?this is probably a bug, honestly it's stupid enough that I might just fix it myself later, assuming the project isn't going to argue for dumb reasons about it smh

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer @brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org the software explicitly lets me decide to use an arbitrary location, it should just ignore that my desktop isn't following spec in that case... if I had just slammed "save" and not chosen a specific directory the browser can feel free to create the default one from the xdg desktop specbut like, unless I do that it should fuck off tbh

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social on one hand, I am absolutely this person and kind of just laugh and reinstall things when stuff breaks or crasheson the other hand I am also doing regular backups and don't need to care if I somehow have to dig up data from 4 years ago for some reason (I never do) lol

@brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org maps are constantly changing, even the government supplied state maps will have like 1,000+ changes a month, sometimes a street disappears and comes back, usually this is a better experience than an outdated maps with streets that don't even existghost streets exist in OSM too and it's way more annoying for me than just having updated maps tbh

@brettm@swarm.coiloptic.org I'd like to see open street maps go back to contributor only updates, because I'm very certain it's going to suck way worse than incorporating the state maps, pretty sure they started doing that because it was actually much higher quality data tbhI do think they should offer a version that separately labels the state maps so you can choose to ignore them, but also, I'm very sure the state data will be if high enough quality that everyone will still prefer downloading it anyway tbh

@mjg59@nondeterministic.computer me watching two Rust libraries interact over the simulated C FFI calling convention because that's the only way they were exported even though they're both actually Rust codethis is a real thing happening in several major production projects in several different ways and some people just aren't ready to accept that lol

@lispi314@udongein.xyz @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer most things should, but even then, people won't use it because C is the standard ABI lol
