@LundukeJournal Okay so I guess now we have left FLOSS and right FLOSS.

The end of software secrecy is almost upon us. The death of closed source, and the final triumph of open source. I should have realized this a few months ago when I successfully decompiled the game of Firefighter from an ancient DOS shareware binary. My robot friend was able to tell it had been written in Borland Pascal from looking at the data layout; it gave me back very readable Pascal code with sensibly chosen function and variable names. I transpiled it to Rust and now ship it as part of my heritage games collection. The thing is, I thought of this as a fun stunt but didn't have any confidence that the technique would scale up to large, real programs. I have since learned that people are now doing this sort of thing with entire AAA games, which are among the most complex software artifacts ever to be shipped as a binary. If they can be decompiled, anything can be. This has implications. Massive implications. We need to think about what the world is like when, in general, there is no longer a secrecy moat around almost any software at all. 1/2

@DoyHelix @HowleyReporter The system, as you call it, is not inverted. It's working exactly as designed.

@low_level_dev Telegram murió desde que secuestraron a Durov. Lo que quedó desde entonces es muy cercano a un honeypot.

IFPI, a major music industry group, wants the EU to put yt-dlp on its piracy watch list. yt-dlp is a popular free, open-source tool that lets people download videos and music from sites like YouTube, IFPI says this causes problems for the music industry because people can save music from streaming services without permission. IFPI is not asking the EU to ban yt-dlp right now, Its asking for the project to be listed as a piracy-related service also names four of the project’s GitHub devs yt-dlp is extremely popular, with more than 190,000 GitHub stars and 16,000 forks. torrentfreak.com/ifpi-wants-ope…

@Pirat_Nation That's why the devs of any software that matters should try to stay anonymous as much as possible.

@low_level_dev Con una fórmula creo que ganas más en legibilidad que en performance ahí. Pero si los otros devs no entienden la formula, mejor usar un loop... Sería un buen punto medio.

@LundukeJournal Yes that didn't really age well. It was pretty much a nothingburger with nothingfries and a nothingsoda.

@low_level_dev Y cuando les digas que distro usas, caen muertas. Vas a ver. Ni hablar si les das tu PGP pubkey.

I wouldn't say they'll be necessarily in the middle though. It will depend... which is the whole point. But the meme had to draw them somewhere lol so fair enough.

@dhh These people who want the state in everything accusing others of being "fash". That's what cracks me up. 🤣

@low_level_dev Es muy subjetivo eso. El tema con ruby, elixir y un par más es que no se parecen tanto a C y como los demás sí, estéticamente choca a la vista.
