Imagine if filesystems had exposed the file hash next to its mtime.

I might be missing your sarcasm, but this is a common approach for large scale builds. Virtual filesystems are used to provide a pre-computed tree hash as a xattr. In a more typical case, you can read the git tree hash.

”Rrgulation never works”, is a very shallow take. It could mean anything. China is an autocratic system. Is that working? The US is going in that direction.

On top of that, Europe isn’t a country. To have less regulation, you need more of it. Unifying regulations, or else you have dozens of completely different jurisdictions. To a large extent, you still do, even with the EU. You can’t sell to the general public in English. There are so many more things holding Europe back than ”need deregulation”.


It was not better, it was less. US imperialism has deep roots, yes, but a large chunk of the world who would tolerate a moderate level of it, don't tolerate this level.

I don’t see any not tolerating it in practice.

A lot of invective, but nothing in practice that really indicates not tolerating.


I hear rumblings about foreign companies disconnecting from American services and products. You don't turn large ships on a dime, but they are turning.

I don't think it was less, though only future historians will come up with actual numbers. It was less public, though.

Most of the world never tolerated it. Even when western governments tolerated it, the population did not; see also the huge worldwide demonstrations against the Iraq war.

I think the difference in perception is because the european oligarchy is now being effectively treated as was previously the rest of the world, so they're now taking a stance because they feel threatened, whereas they previously saw themselves as aligned with the US government no matter what.


User mode linux is so cool.

Yes, User mode linux pretty cool project. If I'm not wrong, UML is kind of predecessor to gvisor or firecracker from a different era.

Spotify started out pirating.

As did Crunchyroll.

And OpenAI, Meta/Llama and Anthropic.

Oh wait, they make billions with it so that makes it fair use.


And, if CO2 works as a proxy measurement for virus transfer, maybe misdetected CO2 also works as proxy measurement for virus transfer.


They clearly scan traffic in retrospect, one of our devs got her account closed for RE.

Yes, Trump knows about the crashes of 2022, 2008, 2001, he will make good choices. :)

And an IT department vetting updates before they go out.

Was it the 8 to 10 upgrade that MS slipped into Windows Update or a different one? Whichever it was, the IT department where I was at the time had apparently left Windows Update untouched and it wreaked havok.

the same IT department that got blamed not allowed user changing wallpaper or installing crowstrike
