But at the end of day, doesn’t app have to ask OS? At that stage, can’t you spoof “positive” responce of unmodified system?

It will be like in game “universal paperclip”

…But i fell like a case for memory management usually provided by system and cpu for low-level languages is just as strong (couldn’t edit comment above for some reason)

On GC With no virtual memory, memory fragmentation is a possibility on wasm targets It’s funny that for memory management you either have to deal with fragmentation like it’s a microcontroller (or 90s) or a fully blown garbage collection.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, having GC is perfectly reasonable. Every other language was gonna (and currently does) implement it anyway - so might as well lower it into native code.

I asked someone on bluesky i follow what is mastodon lacking that they ultimately chose bluesky, and they said something along the lines “basic ease of use. The way it works is probably perfectly sensible to fediverse people, but I had an awful time there”

They do indeed have (abandoned) mastodon account with posts, so they did try. I don’t know what they meant by it lacking basic ease of use, and I didn’t feel entitled to ask stranger for more explanation. But it wasn’t picking instance, since they already had an account on one of them.

The only thing I personally noticed is off is following people on other instances if you’re not looking at them via your instance website Identity not being perfectly transferrable on mastodon. You can post a special “follow me there instead” post, but what if your instance went tyrant and wouldn’t let you post it? Or just went offline? I think cryptographic identity would be more robust for that, but it would also mean user having to store private key somewhere, which would be even less user-friendly

For that matter, aren’t borders kinda inhumane and barbaric in the first place? They declare some people as second-rate. They trap people in poor dictatorships, but are oh so permeable for conflict minerals or products of sweatshops

Could your point be that generally more ways to become citizen is a better than less?
