@dcz I worked on research about parallel programming modelsa few years ago, here is one of the papers: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.parco.2013.09.006
You can read the introduction part without subscription, it's a kind of overview of parallel programming approaches including something about the actor model.
@dcz Nothing is worse than threaded code. 😄
@kalj Bra! Han har skrivit en hel del bra grejer: https://drewdevault.com/

> Jag förstår inte hur det kan vara lagligt att ljuga
Kanske är det inte lagligt, om någon skulle titta på saken ordentligt.
I alla fall tror jag att just såna där påståenden som "vi värnar om din integritet" och liknande kan vara en bra utgångspunkt för att ta upp de här frågorna. Den som skrivit det där på sin webbsida har ju själv tagit upp diskussionen, då kan man diskutera med dem utifrån det.
Ofta vill de inte ljuga tror jag, de förstår bara inte.
Congratulations!
Which OS will you start with?

About user interface, are you thinking Phosh, or Plasma Mobile, or Sxmo?
Either way, good luck with it, and please report how it goes!
@arh Looks like something different from FSF India: https://fsf.org.in/
Any idea if/how they are related?
@MatejLach Seems best to avoid Intel altogether, but suppose for a moment that I am anyway using some kind of Intel-based computer. If I manage to remove or destroy its built-in wifi part and instead use only separately connected network devices (plugged in via a USB port or so), that should help protect against this?
One of my favorite books ever:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Granted it's not about the latest tech today, but I would argue it does focus on the important things that are even more important today than when it was written. How we humans relate to technology, our different approaches and attitudes towards technology.
The article by Jake Bauer that you linked to says the following:
> While the GPL may not cause as much of an obstruction
> or be as unethical as proprietary software,
> it is frankly not that much better.
Do you really think that, seriously?
How can you think that if you value the four freedoms listed by the GNU project?
In my opinion, any FLOSS kind, GPL or any other kind, is hugely better than something proprietary.

I tried to understand what you mean, but I don't quite follow.
> I still believe that users should be treated as first-party when building software.
That part I get, and it signals to me that you do care about user freedom.
But then, regarding the potential use of your code as part of proprietary software:
> frankly I think I don't care
You care, or you don't care?

Ha! "We value your privacy", perhaps the most common lie on the Internet these days.
I started to refer to it when arguing with some sites about how they do things, I tell them that they need to either change the statement "We value your privacy" because that claim is clearly wrong considering their current policies, or else change how they do things so that they live up to that claim.
> Is the PinePhone your first Linux-only or Linux-capable smartphone?
Might be good to clarify what you mean there. Those who have had an Android phone (plenty of people I guess) should answer "no"? Otherwise, you could write "GNU+Linux" or "Linux-but-not-Android" or something, if that is what you mean.

For me, when I select Firefox Settings --> Privacy and Security --> Clear History...
then that gives a window that looks like this.
Note that to clear everything, you have to:
- select "Everything" in time range, instead of the default which is to only clear the last hour.
- check all the seven check boxes, only one of them is checked by default.
I think that if you do all that then it will actually clear everything, but it's easy to miss something there.

Something to test: if you go there using a different browser, are you still logged in then?
If not, then there is something firefox-related that you did not manage to remove. You could search in the .mozilla directory or something to try to figure it out.
If you are logged in even when using a different browser, a browser from which you have never logged in, then they do something else, something not related to the browser.
The root problem is that of incentives. First-parties want to monetize without charging users. Current answer to this is ads. Personalized ads pay better, hence tracking exists. If resisted, FPs will retain server-side tracking and worse, bring in-content, unblockable ads.
Can we make non-personalized ads more profitable than personalized ads or in-content ads for first-parties? Should we? I have my preferences ("No ads of any kind, even if this means less content"). But is that the best?
