Go now defaults to attempting to fetch code dependencies from a proxy operated by Google before getting it from source. This feels a bit weird. By default, you are basically leaking the names of your dependencies when you build code.

So all 50 US states are now on board for the Google antitrust suit. Good.

I've seen things. I've seen what Google does to Mozilla. What they do to Web standards. What they do to their own code to make it work on their platforms and intentionally break competitors.

What they do to adtech that tries to make a business out of *not* being creepy asses.

Using Chrome-only APIs in Maps.

Promoting DRM as a feature in YouTube and paying the W3C to make a closed DRM blob "open standard".

いももち (imomochi) and あげいもは (ageimo), two potato-based Hokkaido fast foods.

The real reason Dutch people are so good at English is because that's what they're speaking when nobody else is listening.

It's an inside joke and you fell for it and thought Dutch was real.

I had the opportunity to meet a very smart Mastodon developer recently and was struck by three things:

1. They're young and expect software look professional and work right out of the box.

2. They're thoughtful and are as much product managers as engineers.

3. They think in terms of what user will experience first, and implementation later, but equally competent discussing either.

If this is the next generation of the Free Software community, I couldn't be happier/prouder.

Ruffle, a Flash player emulator written in Rust, https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle.

Ruffle compiles to WebAssembly, so it's a true alternative to Flash without any plugin.

See the demo: https://ruffle.rs/demo/?file=heroes_of_cybertron.swf

Wow, Jim. This is what jumping the shark looks like. You're certainly not speaking for the open source people in my life... Quite the opposite, really. http://techrights.org/2019/07/31/jim-zemlin-open-source-loves-microsoft/

"Basically, software remains vulnerable because the benefits created by insecure products far outweigh the downsides. Once that changes, software security will improve—but not a moment before."
