They use C++ impl to bootstrap it: https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc Rust needs more impls like other langs have. Writing "reference" impl in not itself would be hypocrisy 😃

At this moment, Germany is importing 3.3 GW of #nuclear power from France due to calm wind and no sunlight in Germany and much of Europe, plus burning coal and fossil gas like crazy...

there's an attitude i very frequently see from people who stubbornly insist on staying in the consoomer software ecosystem, apple users especially, whey they seem absolutely convinced that learning to use a new system and switching their infrastructure over to something that respects their basic human dignity, is a proposition of such enormity that mere mortals such as them simply cannot ever hope to do it. "i can't spend all this time learning to use grownup software, i have a job to do!" they cry. and yet they have no problem at all wasting even more time and spending money endlessly on proprietary software to try and make their digital cuckshed minimally habitable, even knowing that apple is going to come along in five minutes and wreck everything all over again. if macOS 69 "Guantanamo" came out with the requirement that users purchase an overpriced Apple-brand bluetooth shock collar and wear it at all times so they can be punished for insufficient consumption, these idiots would be the first people to rush out and buy a copy and they would spend at least an hour a day for the next month heroically defending tim cook online

Man, I love FOSS. So great to have a community of people building software with the user's interests in mind just because they can

HP never stopped innovating. From its origins as a leading electronics manufacturer to its role in the birth of PCs and performance servers, it has always demonstrated incredible ingenuity.
Today, that ingenuity is deployed in service of evil ink-based fuckery.
The printer-ink business model has always been a form of commercial sadism in which you are expected to put giant manufacturers' interests ahead of your own with no expectation of any sort of reciprocity.

@kami_kadse is Greta even allowed to burn Trump this badly? He's a fossil, after all.
@zens Yeah, looks like you can use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto in most browsers.
@zens well in Wikipedia it says "... would permit rich Internet applications to conduct cryptographic functions without the need to access raw keying material". Looks like you can make an non-extractable key as well. I guess it's usage is limited but still you can do some interesting things with it.
@zens Cool! I stand corrected :) Looks like Netflix needed this: https://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/
@zens Yeah, but this is for TLS (link layer security). Has nothing to do with signing and encryption of data. And I don't see how this is even useful. What you want to be signing is not the connection between your client and the server but data that you provide to the server that travel beyond the scope of that connection (e.g. end to end to some other person).
@zens That is cool. My point is that it needs to be built-in the browsers by default and set up by default on first run without even users knowing and not requiring any extra hardware. Otherwise you have already failed for normies.
@zens I just want a UI that let me add identity (with a nick name) and it generates key pair for me. If one is requested I can select one from list or I can have on by default. Signing and encryption done by browser natively. Keys stored in password store. That is it. I think some Gemini browsers do that (for client certs though).
@zens I am not a normie and I don't have one. This is probably to only helping corpos.
@zens I keep wondering why Google added Filesystem, Battery, Sensor etc. API to browser but nothing to do public key cryptography that would work with normies (e.g. keys generated for you by the browser). I have been waiting for this for decades now... that would solve many problems like this.

@alcinnz @ajroach42 that said, there is an absolute scale to the corporate blockbusters and AAA i don’t know how to achieve another way. like the pyramids or the great wall of china. if you look at a credits roll for avengers or mario kart 8, it’s a virtual army of creators all working toward the same goal.
there’s a human cost to it of course, but how else could we organise such giant expensive spectacles?
not saying it’s impossible- just that i don’t know how.

@alcinnz @ajroach42 it did used to be that the songs and stories of a culture were something absolutely everyone participated in and contributed to. it’s absolutely perverse this capitalist dichotomy of having a creator class and a consumer class, with violently enforced legal barriers erected between the two for the purposes of wealth extraction,
