It's about weight and money of people going after you. No one else has more money and muscle to throw at than music/movie industry

> Nothing is in jeopardy if the operators remain completely anonymous, which it seems like they will.

If the 3 letter agencies want to track you down, it is highly unlikely that you could keep your anonymity. Unless you are also part of 3 letter agencies from NK, CN, RU etc.

I couldn't be more relieved that RIAA is a four letter agency

It's legacy of IBM PC compatible standard, that has multiple vendors building computers, peripherals that work with each other. Microsoft tried their EEE approach with ACPI that made suspend flaky in linux in early years.

This does not explain why the drivers for all the hardware is upstreamed almost immediately in the x86 world but remains locked away in vendor trees for years or forever in the ARM world. Vendor kernels don't exist due to the lack of standardized boot and runtime discovery.

It doesn't crash as often as it used to few years ago. JS heavy sites might not work, and layout issues too. And internet gatekeepers cloudflare turnstile doesn't work.

why did it crash? Rust is supposed to be memory safe?..

crashes happen for reasons besides memory safety. web-engines are crazy complicated pieces of software and crashes could happen for any number of reasons. also I would be shocked if this was written using purely safe rust

The JS engine is SpiderMonkey, which is C++.

Problem isn't nuclear cooling per se. It's the designs of these nuclear reactors which expected to work with mild European weather. India and China have nuclear reactors working in desert without any cooling issues. Of course, as most of EU and west atrophied in building nuclear reactors in general, building new reactors or modifications won't be economical.

it's not economical because in the same period summer prices are dirt cheap. EDF is already maxing export in that period, where do you want to squeeze some extra GW? why would you?

That could be possible for browser apps which already have a sandbox. Doubtful for general purpose languages. For example I have a library and utility to change user password, or writing sudo alternative sudors etc. How would you even begin to sandbox that are core os utilities or need access to core os themselves.

> and it still takes too long to open the bloated Web browser! - keenly awaiting Ladybird to the rescue in August

chromium browsers launch pretty fast. If you're talking about memory usage, Ladybird isn't aimed at minimal memory usage from what I've seen.

>This chip was originally introduced in 1989, was replaced by the first Intel Pentium in 1993, and was fully discontinued in 2007

That's really long compared to 1yr refresh cycles we have today with phones etc.

OpenRouter accepts crypto for payments. That should have raised some flags with banks.

In linux, I trust most distro apps to run with network access without any sort of firewall. And for apps from internet, just put them in bubblewrap or run with flatpak without access to homedir, network, audio, video etc. depending on program.
