@velartrill I used to think that way, and in a perfect world, I still would; but the web is the only open, free, corporate-unencumbered runtime we have; providing USB-support means providing one fewer opportunities for someone to feel compelled to write a native app.

@velartrill yeah, sorry, that wasn't particularly clear: what I really meant was, you can write a webapp without forking over 30% to Apple/Google; or having to go through their app-store approval process

@cod3monk3y @CodingItWrong JavaScript is the closest to Lisp we've got, & Lisp is good; coïncidentally, if you write functional js, you shouldn't ever have to worry about semicolons, either ;-)

@ashfurrow is the idea to be able to send encrypted messages over Mastodon?

@ashfurrow whoops, I'd forgotten about that feature (I tried keybase awhile ago, but not enough acquaintances were on it to bother keeping up with it [sort of like Signal, now, for me as well])

@JF @PINE64 is there an option/future-plan to support geo-location (GPS/GLONASS/etc)? Because that would be awesome

@MatejLach @isagalaev @indirection not sure if this is true, but something I've thought lately (inspired by Cory Doctorow): It's the popular demand for internet-Video, in particular (and thereby the DRM it came with) that killed GP computing. MP3s and ebooks eventually realized DRM wasn't necessary; but video will never concede (possibly because it's much more expensive to produce?): so tech companies will have to submit to their pro-DRM/anti-GP-computing requirements. Here's hoping I'm wrong, though…

@jwildeboer I think the "bad" reason the browser does this is based on the thread's comments regarding firewalls; but what I've come to consider the"good"reason for it is that the browser is (& @this point, I guess I mean Firefox, specifically) the only Open runtime we have left: if it couldn't do all these things, then every innovation, no matter its scale, would be beholden to Apple, Google, or Microsoft. I'm not sure good outweighs bad: but I think it's a vital trade-off to keep in mind

@Gina does it actually use a camera to provide literal mirror-functionality; or is it just the name?

@yarmo @nebunez @geekgonecrazy I think I saw somewhere that the latency was 8-10 seconds: did you guys have to work around that?

Any time a programmer explains why a particular programming language is The Best, they’re usually talking out of their ass.Any time a programmer explains why a particular programming language is The Worst, they’re usually 100% correct.All programming languages are The Worst.
