How on earth are you going to operate this if you have no electricity?
Cool. C is going to become that cool forgotten forbidden programming language.

When you want to host your own nameserver but to lazy to configure it on your colocated server. Yet you have requirements that require a nameserver.

I've been paying customer for years. Branded nameservers are great, the web ui is janky and dated but seriously robust.

Support is lacking as for a while afraid.org has had an SSL cert error, very annoying.

Because these applications were created long before Rust existed.

There is a cost to conversion.

I can't find a single thread to like the guy, how can other folk?

He is just so insufferable; just like my CEO.

Dystopian days, where you will be forced to write some syntax, that is then handed off to a an Ai tester. The tester will return it to you ready for handing the code to three frontier Ai's. The judges of code.

They approve your code, gold, if not; back to the coding machine and minus 1000 human tokens. This will be done via the implants of brain chips

Nice straw-man.

"we need infrastructure and fields and cities and many other things too"; we have the infrastructure. It's just easier, cheaper to build new than to repair and fix the old.

So, illegally cleared 300 hectares.

A datacentre is not valuable to anyone other than the owner.

Trees > Datacentre, get your environmental priorities straight.

Do you deny climate change too?

I am not saying that. I am saying that the glasses should be under permitted use.

You can fly a drone on your own land. You can wear meta glasses on your land. I don't give a shit about that.

What I am saying is that if you want to wear the glasses in public, get a permit otherwise the camera or any geo-tracking features should be disabled.

It should be traceable to who wears these. I don't want to be filmed in public by some creep with a hidden recording device as to the likes of public not wanting hobbyist drones flown over their head.

You may act responsibly with them and that's great, but I doubt those do. Unfortunately that drags you in to the mix and others who use them legitimately too.

Unless they who wear the glasses tell me why they're wearing the glasses I will make association that you're in the same crowd. You stated you don't, so I believe you.

Do people not lie? It's not assumption it's more a tally. I meet you at zero. I can't trust words without facts. The former of what you said builds trust.

I would hope the same that I am trusted after proven and not trusted until known.

We all should be able to trust each other but that's not case in todays world.

One of the few rare real reasons to owning and if that's the real reason. In that instance the better approach is that the glasses should be held under a permit.

The camera should be disabled until you obtain a permit.

Drones require a license and agreement to fly, these should be too.

I enter a building in acknowledgement that I am going to be under surveillance. If I don't agree then I don't enter that building.

I do not board a plane to be discreetly recorded by a pair of glasses. It's creepy and just privacy invasive.

Which accessibility reasons are these?
You can't claim the JavaScript technologies of now and apply them to Tcl of the 90's. Tcl is an ace language and well suited for the web.

What shows is that the old stigma of programming held everything back and most of that was Oracle. Still the same today with Google, Facebook and so.

Java Applets were phenomenal and way ahead of their time. It just got caught up in the swamp and broadband wasn't available to enable the technology to flourish. I never loathed them, I loved them. 3D graphics in the browser; we still struggle with that today.

Everything back then was a pain but is anything easier now? Tried using Windows 11? Even Linux has lost its charm.

WebGL isn't mature enough and Apple is cutting OpenGL from their OS. Where is the HTML5 equivalent of Flash? I have yet to see it other than Ruffle.

If the plugins were adopted, and browsers were adaptable to the plugins that would decuffed the browser rather than the current trend of the internet where the schematics are now vastly dominated and ruled by Google & co cuffing the browser and any other future browser for that matter in to nose dive spiral.

Firefox is the only major alternative and is only floundering because of Google.

If plugins were the browser from the get-go then any shift of plugins could rock the boat.

> Are you saying that the native browser APIs evolving to make Flash obsolete is a bad thing?

Pretty much yes. HTML 5 was Googles push for dominance, JavaScript was too. Not sure if intentionally but they sure at it now. "Don't be evil" I seem to recall.

Without it's merits, it would too have it's own problems but I would wager that the internet ecosystem would be broader and more united than what it is now.

Extensions don't count as it's difficult to use another programming language in the browser unless it's tied to WASM or built in. And even then you're further restricted where features are torn out.

Adblockering in chrome et cetera. 1999.

That browser world would of been glorious without HTML5. Where Javascript wasn't in the browser and Tcl was (it was a contender); we would be working with plugin based browsers rather than built-in to the hood. That in turn would enable you to process incoming documents based in XSLT however you desired.

It would of been glorious having any programming language usable within the browser. Craft your own features rather than what's given to you now. It's only now that we're gaining the ability to use other languages via WASM.

Tcl was a contender to Javascript in the browser but Javascript won because it didn't require a plugin. And as Tcl never became the browser's default scripting environment juxtaposition Flash eventually lost because the browser platform evolved to make its proprietary plug-in unnecessary

> Adobe was really in poor shape to port Flash to a new platform

I wouldn't say poor. Adobe had its own creative-software empire to up-keep. Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and its web-authoring products gave it enormous influence over creative professionals. Macromedia's Dreamweaver and Flash were serious competitors in web design and interactive media. Adobe needed the missing monopoly cards; Flash, Fireworks and Dreamweaver were them.

Flash was security ridden yes, Flash required a plugin, yes; I don't think supported AppleOS at the time. These could of all been solved but I would agree that to refactor the software would of been an expensive take.

Jobs + HTML5, WebGL, JS all had entered the ring and finished the blow.

I miss it. Growing up with the internet in 2003, 2010's was the end of the wild world web. 2020's was the era of walled gardens for which we now have LLM's for the theme park and we're now entering 2030 where the internet is on fire with creativity now wrung between Yes Ai and No Ai.

Fraud of many things. I met him once and he told me he committed fraud.

Unfortunately I had to kick him in the testicles. Not too hard, around a 6-7.

On second thought of judgement I realised he's not nice and a very fraudulent person.

If you want proof I'll send you my trainer I kicked him with. Just include your mailing address below. Real story. Reals.
