Lua does. (though it does have the option to use C++ exceptions or MSVC stack unwinding instead)

We are already going through the "digital duty of care" act now.
https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislat...
It applies a 'duty of care' to 'online services', which include 'internet carriage services', 'social media', 'relevant electronic services', 'hosting services', 'search engine services', generative AI services, among others. And for encrypted messaging (which would probably come under 'social media' or 'relevant electronic services'), it only excludes 'lawful communications occurring in private solely between consenting adults'.
And the other big thing is it gives approved researchers authority to use sock puppet identities in contravention of any 'agreement, contract or deed', and gives them immunity from civil consequences.
Reliable sources inform me that the government is never going to abuse this act.

Here in Australia (Qld) that is the law. Once you move somthing to get in (open a door, etc) it then is classified as breaking.
Re:OpenAI agent hacked Australian government website, PM says

Yes, but if you leave your door open then it is only tresspassing, not breaking and entering.

Re:US Revokes Limits on Power Plants' Climate Pollution

Here in Queensland the state owns the regional electricity company, Ergon. ∴ most of what they do that doesn't generate money (such as doing free electricity rather than charging for it) is taxpayer-funded.

Becaude, as we all know, taxpayer-funded == free.

Also calculating the dew point should be a more stable measure of the air's water content over different temperatures. The first picture works out to a dew point of 23 degrees, assuming 82% humidity is accurate.

The attacker could use `chattr -i .bashrc` with the same privileges before editing your bashrc. A better way would probably be to use `sudo chown 0:0 .bashrc`.
Also you will want to do the same to .profile (because of LD_PRELOAD etc). And also do the same to any directories in your $PATH (~/.local/bin etc)
