    It doesn't. This case applies more to MVB.

    > Why give up information when you don't have to? Yeah, I generally agree with that viewpoint, but you are giving up that information, even without JS. Your TCP stack can be finger…

    I think they made the right call on that. It's unclear to me whether hiding the OS is even possible. There's just too much OS-specific behavior that happens inside (and outside) a …

    The analogy falls apart when "your store" is actually a handful of multi-billion dollar corporations that surveil a significant portion of the internet and covertly grant governmen…

    I'm not even sure I'd want to make it narrow. I'd start with: "Information gained via side-channel for the purpose of correlating individuals." But you'd have to add an enormous am…

    it's elegant, but i prefer: Math.tanh = Math.random;

    They didn't call it a day. They created an entire deceptive hype cycle around it.

    Yeah, it never works though, as you can see from this example.

    You should use AI.

    If this is your opinion, I ask you: are you okay with AI reviewing the PRs as well, or do you prefer a human to do it? Think carefully before responding.

    That means all AI code would simply be rejected. This saves time.

    Very cool project. Is it always an LD_PRELOAD or can it function as a standalone SOCKS proxy similar to wireproxy?

    Fair enough. I haven't looked at the internals of ghostty, so I'll take your word for it. I'm probably also just taking things personally.

    I don't mean to derail discussion about a cool project, but it still seems to imply xterm.js is somehow "improper" emulation (though I might be misreading it). Terminal emulators a…

    Then the ideal would be to normalize the user agent string to look identical on every platform. My point is: they can't do that. e.g. A linux machine identifying itself as windows …

    I tried doing that in the early 2010s. Even back then it didn't work (github broke for example). If you did it today, you'd likely be blocked by a lot of major websites for "lying"…

    I don't think it's a strange comment. He's mostly right (and so are you, but I think you're talking past each other). There's nothing wrong with SRS, and I agree with you that it's…

    This brings back memories. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I'm glad to see the fork[1] of my fork[2] from 12 years ago is still thriving. Looks like it's been mostly rewritt…

    My mistake. I thought your comment about being a skeptic was referring to the language itself. It sounds like you had a good experience with the rust community. I'm glad it worked …

    FTR I don't really have a problem with the rust language. I think there's some interesting ideas in there. I don't really like the syntax, but that's a minor nitpick. Not sure what…

    Fair enough. I suppose it is my most recent encounter. The result: I still don't like the rust community. You may have different opinions. I see no issue here.

    I don't ever recall saying I'm being repressed. Could you point out where I said that? If you're referring to my above post, I'm pointing out that you're having a very emotional re…
