  • I remember the teacher calling out “I cant see your screen” constantly and for unfair reasons, on chromeOS you can (frequently on accedent) abuse the security systems made to limit the damage of rouge extensions. Mainly the “no screen sharing on chrome:// and file:// tabs pages”. I also found a glitch that got patched to run the browser part on a higher privlaged UID (possably root? somthing related to OOBE? the lock screen itself? IDK). It was unstable, dangerous for the OS itself and could go to any site you wanted, this account had a blank chrome://policy and no extensions so anything was fair game. That got patched fast tho. My small group of friends still got to keep their chrome://flags changes even after the patch.


  • Most news threads are posted so often that they die in a week.

    Older = Less eyes than when posted. (And thats ok.) For particularly dead subs or the news subs, Less eyes means no eyes.

    without a bumping system, fresh eyes will check the first 100ish and say “I have seen everything here” and their clients will mark it as read. I want to see notifications for more than just repliesto my own stuff.

    Some subs are so niche/dead and Without markers like replies it can feel demotivating.

    I dont want to feel like this.







  • Theres two ways of looking at safe systems,

    • People are idiots and will get themselves hurt. The machine should prevent them to keep them safe at all costs.

    Or

    • without guardrails, people are vulnerable idiots and I am too. Let the machine prevent them until they understand and accept the risk.

    As memtioned elsewhere in the thread, political pressure prevents implementation of safe systems. I absolutely love safeguards and being safe because foot guns are nasty. (Its why Rust is a great language.) but I will fight against things clearly created under the former philosophy because it locks people out of their own property. Because sometimes the “safety” is an excuse for controlling behavor.
