@serapath What you're describing is the story that everyone tells of how capitalism is "supposed" to work, but in practice it has never worked that way and *will* never work that way - it's simply not how the incentives are aligned.
That whole idea is based on the flawed premise that the interests of the business owner match up with the interests of the customer, and that is almost never actually true.
@starfire Tauri is for writing the application code in Rust, not in Node.js :)
Wrote some (incomplete!) notes about my travels of figuring out the possible options for building desktop applications in Node.js: https://wiki.slightly.tech/books/miscellaneous-notes/page/building-desktop-applications-with-nodejs

New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:
* Does Firefox sell your personal data?
> Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.
The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.

salad dressing recipe (vegan)
Made an experimental salad dressing today, to go with the salad with vegan bacon that we made. It turned out to be really nice!
Ingredients (roughly in order of volume): ketchup, olive oil, sugar, reduced-salt soy sauce, chili flakes, cumin, kervel, cinnamon, cardamom.

Boycotts work when they cover a time scale long enough to affect quarterly earnings reports.
Work, expiring certs
@rune Ah, I thought you meant "certificate authority" in the company sense, in which case the reason would be explained by the economics of selling certs for which the customer does not need to return for a decade :P
Work, expiring certs
@rune One wonders why the certificate authority issuing 10 year certificates does not exist anymore

Work, expiring certs
A bunch of people reported problems today and it was discovered that they had all been issued certificates with a 10 year expiry.. 10 years ago. And the certificate authority used doesn't exist anymore
Don't worry, everyone, it wasn't DNS this time.

I think this thought a lot when I hear people discussing Mastodon outside of Mastodon lol
@jonah There's at least a second Mastodon (mastodon.social) and a third Mastodon (nazi fedi) and in some ways it is better not to know about either...

It turns out, this was originally an optimization for the ActionScript stack machine–I guess everyone else has just been uncritically copy pasting these functions into other languages for the last 23 years. :)

Holy shit they released the source code of C&C Generals, Renegade, and the first two games (the original source code release for those two was based in the remastered version) and added Steam Workshop support for a bunch of the C&C games 😳

Komend weekend worden door heel Nederland weer geredde jonge #bomen en struiken gratis uitgedeeld. Het betreft de allerlaatste uitdeeldagen van Meer Bomen Nu voor dit seizoen.
En om deze tweedekans bomen en struiken daadwerkelijk een tweede kans te geven, is het belangrijk dat zij dit weekend worden opgehaald en worden geplant op de plek waar zij wél uit mogen groeien tot volwassen bomen en struiken.
#MeerBomenNu is een campagne van #Urgenda, ondersteund door #ASNBank.

Even ten years ago they probably could have floated a vague ToU and we'd have given them benefit of the doubt. Today? No chance. They need to have everything vetted by their legal team and by some sort of "don't burn our remaining goodwill" unit, before jamming it down users' throats.
