You shouldn’t trust random scripts off the internet of course, but…
You do realize these scripts all come from this GitHub repo, right? It’s possible to verify them all, unless I’m missing a script here I guess. Even the registry files are plain text and readable directly in GH.
Not a lawyer, but if this isn’t a clear case of duress, then nothing is. Nobody with a functioning brain would say that someone begging a service to stop publishing generated sexual imagery of them is doing so under anything other than duress. That claim would be equivalent to saying someone agreed to your TOS when they begged you to stop stabbing their mother on your service.
to be specific, when you refer to “that all” happening, you mean Biden signing the bill that banned TikTok in April 2024, I think?
Yes. Biden happened to be president, but any president would have signed that into law because of the support, and even if it hadn’t become law, we’d still be in this position. Trump wants to control the media. He’ll do it however he needs to.
your timeline is jumping around a bit here, because now you’re referring to “that period” and linking to a source from January 2025, the time of Trump’s inauguration.
The period in question went on for quite a while (a yearish if I remember correctly). Anyway, your comment doesn’t actually say anything to contradict my point of ByteDance spreading their cheeks for Trump.
this ban only passed because Democrats were bamboozled into supporting a proposal that has its roots in Republican “omg China scary” bullshit. I don’t know how to explain it any more clearly.
You don’t need to. The ban is irrelevant. Without the ban, we’d be in the same place, with Trump attacking all forms of media to gain control.
ahh yes, “criticizing Democrats is the same thing as supporting Republicans”, the free square on the bingo board.
You’re not criticizing lawmakers here. You’re criticizing the common person, the people actually affected by the purchase. What you’re doing is essentially victim blaming.
Your entire analogy is irrelevant. The people you’re criticizing are the people who reviewed the exterminator, not the exterminator.
The ban had bipartisan support, and even if that all never happened, you’d still be in the same situation. They would have sold off their US business anyway whether they were forced to or just got a big offer.
Keep in mind that TikTok also put out messages during that period practically deep throating Trump and sent it out to all their users. This was going to happen either way.
Ironically, a ban could have prevented this from happening entirely by making TikTok no longer relevant to the US. Not that banning it wouldn’t come with other issues as well, of course.
Maybe rather than blaming those in search of a solution, you could try blaming those who created the problem. Friendly fire doesn’t do a whole lot of good, but does support Trump, which I’m assuming isn’t your goal here.
Breaking down what async fn in trait does, it converts it to a fn method() -> impl Future<Output=T>, which breaks further down into fn method() -> Self::__MethodRet where the generated associated type implements Future.
This doesn’t work for dyn Trait because of the associated type (and the fact method() needs a dyn-safe self parameter).
Instead, your methods need to return dyn Future in some capacity since that return type doesn’t rely on associated types. That’s where async_trait comes in. Box<dyn Future<...>> is a dyn-safe boxed future, then it’s pinned because async usually generates a self-referential type, and you need to pin it anyway to .poll() the resulting future.
Edit: also, being pedantic, associated types are fine in dyn traits, but you need to specify the type for it (like dyn Blah<Foo=i32>. Even if you could name the return type from an async fn, it’d be different for every impl block, so that’s not realistic here.
I was told to watch this movie with no context. It is a combination of my two least favorite movie genres. I hate that I agree with the votes.
All that happened is a shift from local officer violence to federal officer violence. The latter isn’t recorded as a violent “crime” of course.
More likely though, the pandemic’s economic effects impacted everyone. Unrest was at an all-time high. It’s not really a surprise there was a lot of crime. We’re still waiting for the bubble to pop, but wait until that happens, then compare numbers.
I suspected there was something. Last time I saw ID verification in the EU mentioned here, I think someone mentioned this there as well. Thanks for the link!
Yeah, seems to just show an image on Beehaw. Thanks!
This depends on how the verification is done, in my opinion, as well as whether there is a presence of more anonymous alternatives.
If the EU has a system which does not rely on third parties for verification and allows the platform to verify directly with a government-run service, then the only real issue there is lack of anonymity, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing on a platform if there are also popular anonymous alternatives people can use when they want to.
The article doesn’t go into how ID verification will work though. If it’s through third parties like how the US does it, then that’s disgusting and waiting to be breached.
Anyone have a link to the article? These posts don’t link properly on Lemmy.
Also, how old does it predict you are if you ask it if there’s a seahorse emoji?
You asked me a question wholly irrelevant to my comment to bait out some kind of answer you can challenge rather than actually responding. Did you expect me to answer your question?
You appear to be allergic to healthy discussion. I’m out.
Are you responding to the right person? Because if you intended to reply with that, then clearly your reading comprehension skills match your critical thinking skills.
Belief in ’race’ is racism. Prove me wrong…
Well your claim is inherently flawed. “Race” isn’t something a person believes in, it’s an observation of what is essentially human tribalism throughout history. Even if it were a thing to believe in, racism itself isn’t the belief in race, but the belief that different races (or tribes) of people are inherently worse than others in some ways.
In other words, your statement is similar to the statement “Belief in ‘sex’ is sexism”, which is hilariously wrong, and of course is predicated on the idea that people “believe” in these things.
While I agree with your post, I do want to call out that Rust’s standard library does use a lot of unstable features and calls compiler intrinsics. Anyone can use the unstable features I believe with just #![feature(...)], but not the intrinsics (not that there’s much reason to call the intrinsics directly anyway).
You can design a language where you don’t need to generate code to accomplish this.
Depending on what you mean by “generate code”, the only language at the level of C or C++ that I can think of that does this is Zig. Zig is weird though because you’re still doing what is functionally compile-time reflection, so in a way you’re still generating code, just in a different way.
If you’re comparing to Python, JS, or even C#, those all come with runtimes that can compile/interpret new code at runtime. None of those languages are comparable here. Rust, C, C++, Zig, etc compile into assembly, and type information, impl information, etc are all lost after compilation (ignoring symbol names or anything tracked as debug info).
If you’re specifically referring to Debug, Display, PartialEq, etc then the compiler doesn’t do that for you because Rust doesn’t assume that those traits are valid for everything.
Unlike Java where new Integer(1) != new Integer(1) or JS where "" == 0, Rust requires you to specify when equality comparisons can be made, and requires you to write out the implementation (or use the derive for a simple, common implementation).
Unlike C# where record class Secret(String Value); will print out the secret into your logs when it inevitably gets logged, Rust requires you to specify when a type can be formatted into a string, and how it should be formatted.
Just because a language does things one way doesn’t mean every language ever should do things that same way. If you want it to work like another language you like to use, use the language you like to use instead. Rust language designers made explicit decisions to not be the same as other languages because they wanted to solve problems they had with those languages. Those other languages are still usable though, and many solved the same problems in other ways (C#'s nullable reference types, Python’s type hints, TypeScript, C++'s concepts, etc).
If you just want to play a fun game, wait until it’s more complete. Game is so WIP that the whole world gen is expected to change soon (to their “V2” world gen) which might break old saves. There’s very little content beyond the generated structures and terrain and some decorative blocks. Even the current “endgame” can take just a few hours to reach, and there isn’t much there.
This is the part that’s weird. I have no clue which genocide it even refers to. There are multiple I can think of.
Could be anything from Palestine to Uyghurs to even some weird white supremacist conspiracy theory of white genocide. It’s generic enough that it can’t really even be called political at this point.
Part of why Python can do this is that it runs completely differently from Rust. Python is interpreted and can run completely arbitrary code at runtime. It’s possible to exec arbitrary Python.
Rust is compiled ahead of time. Once compiled, aside from inspecting how the output looks and what symbol names it uses, there’s nothing that ties the output to Rust. At runtime, there is nothing to compile new arbitrary code, and compiling at runtime would be slow anyway. There is no interpreter built into the application or required to run it either.
This is also why C, C++, and many other compiled languages can’t execute new arbitrary code at runtime.
I don’t disagree that running random scripts off the internet is a bad idea, and I even made that clear. I was just pointing out that these specific scripts are verifiable entirely by the URL (which is just the raw GH file URL for the file in that repo).
I agree that signing the scripts would be a good idea though. I’m not sure how hard (or expensive) it is to do so though. If it’s anything like TLS certs, it’s probably just not worth it to them (though LE exists for TLS).
