    the founder of this community has a bunch of bad ideas.

    That's not ad hominem?

    You're not here to discuss anything and you're lucky you cannot ban admins on lemmy lol. I guarantee you that I opened the same exact thread on /c/socialism or whatever shithole you reside in you'd ban me instantaneously.

    Take a fucking break man.

    A “graceful” accelerationism is the exact opposite of accelerationism

    Why? Accelerationism is about embracing flawed systems so they collapse faster. The type of collapse is irrelevant be it grateful or chaotic.

    You somehow imply that accelerated systems must collapse in chaos. Why?

    Also chill with the emojis.

    Do you really chose to be so ignorant just to protect your established bias?

    In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.

    Let me rephrase it for you since clearly you are having trouble here. It says: free trade accelerates social revolution and he, Karl Marx the founder of communism, said that he is in favor of free trade because it'll bring social revolution faster.

    Yup, language has context. @dessalines@lemmy.ml already has a beef with me since pretty much I joined lemmy and said the word commies.

    Just look at github issue tracker - the guy has some serious mental issues and being in charge of project making it worse. Now he's exercising his "power" to win an argument.

    No sane individual would think that talking about a slur is equivalent to using one - wake up. That's like saying historian who took out Mein Kamf from the library is a nazi lol

    When capitalism starts to fall apart, the Fascists come out to hold it together by weaponizing terror against all who threaten the ruling class. We need revolutionary organs of power if we want to overthrow it. If we just wait by for capitalism to drive us to economic collapse, many will die for no reason. Social systems are replaced by violence, and just waiting for capitalism to fall like a dead tree is historically unprecedented.

    You make so many naive and unfounded assumptions. Why do assume that collapse of capitalism will be somehow violent and chaotic? Why couldn't it be graceful?

    I think you have way to many biases to even consider alternative philosophies to the ones you're subscribed to right now. In other words, you're still a camel.

    I'm not familiar with your anecdote but you realize some people lost even in your carefully selected example, right? Some feature of society was destroyed in favor of something else. By very definition change to good or bad is destructive activity. Some parts of society must be destroyed for improvement.

    Again accelerationism does not advocate anarchy. Systems can be accelerated to graceful collapse. You somehow interpret "accelerate natural demise" as some sort of mad max style apocalypse which is just silly.

    I'd argue that Apple is much worse.
    Comparing Epic, who made some gamers upset by having some games exclusive to their e-shop, to one of the biggest opponents of consumer rights is a bit silly, isn't it?

    I’m pretty sure it would be perfectly legal and ethical

    Why wouldn't it be? If the CC license is permissive then why not?

    I think it's a great idea, is there a tool for this already?

    You should take a look at the slur list in lemmy's codebase

    Obviously I cannot quote here because apparently meta discussion is against the rules but as you can see there are a lot of words that are far from being slurs on that list.

    Language is highly contextual and dynamic. I thought we already figured out in the 90s that "badword" filters don't work and are absurd; yet here we are!

    Finally it's a hardcoded list of words which is just silly and amateur no matter how you look at it. For example you are not able to start a non-english instance of lemmy without hard fork of it because of hard-coded slur list that will capture non-english words.
    The slur detection is very amateur as well that can be avoided by a single extra character (like empty unicode characters) so it requires manual moderation anyway — why is the filter even there if the only thing it'll catch is false positives? It's just such a perplexing UX design that is nothing but a virtue signaling.

  • Could WebAssembly be disastrous for user privacy?

    Javascript already can be heavily obfuscated and I'm not sure if webassembly provides more obfuscation.

    Here's an interesting paper I found on this subject: https://www.virusbulletin.com/virusbulletin/2018/10/dark-side-webassembly/

    Most of it's argument boils down to:

    security products will only see the compiled Wasm file rather than the JavaScript source code

    I'm not sure why couldn't security products inspect .wasm file here? If anything wasm only environment seems like a more efficient and secure environment as the .wasm file only needs to be scanned/analyzed once (since it's being cached and reused) while page source constantly needs to be analyzed for malicious JS code.

    The thing I wasn't able to figure out is whether you can deliver binary "undecodable" wasm code to the client? Seems like you can decompile and deobfuscate everything very easily, in fact it looks more readable than obfuscated+minimized js.

    I think javascript has already ruined privacy for everyone, can webassembly do worse?

    The problem is the browser — it gives away way to much information about itself making it really easy to fingerprint users. Firefox is trying to address that but unless you go through the trouble of installing and configuring dozen addons you'll be fingerprinted and tracked.

    The idea that the server can execute code remotely on user's machine implicitly is just so messed up when you think about it. Imagine going to a shop and having to hand over partial control of your body to Walmart lol

    Python's Foundation is heavily sponsored by various corporations like Facebook (top sponsor) and so far we hadn't seen any corporate push or issues, though python didn't start as a corporate project. Typescript could definitely do the same.

    If you ever tried to use Instagram for your photos you probably thought - "wow this sucks, I wish there was something like instagram but actually respected my photos". Well Pixelfed is that. It's inspired by Instagram but it doesn't crop your photos, has fullscreen view and native desktop experience — all of which federated and decentralized!

    Serious question. Seems like a pro-communism community? my 2cents: You should kinda restructure yourself for more appropriate image if you don't want to appear extremists as I need to go on reddit ban thread to even get a glimpse of what this is 🤷

    I miss early social network functionality of sharing abstract interests like "Joe likes Death Metal". To me this feature seems like a such a positive and pragmatic expression thus I made a small standalone static website template that extends a bit on this idea - tag-driven micro blogs about things you like. A simple idea to breed a bit of positivity and character into the world!

    Interesting analysis of copyright effect on book investment. TL;DR: > These results suggest that, at least for older, culturally valuable works with low fixed and marginal costs of production and distribution, underinvestment may flow from the existence of copyright rights, rather than from their absence. Copyright is a crutch not only for the people for businesses too.
