No, your honour, we did not use the porn downloaded to train our AI, at least not directly.

The people working on training the AI? Oh, the definitely had a cheeky wank here and there after a stressful day! This just shows how committed Meta is to the wellbeing of our employees.

Europe On Line? EOL? End of line.

Patron-funded news doesn’t work in the combination of post-scarcity news (i.e. when anyone can have a platform because there’s no limit to entry, like owning a printing press) and economic recession where people’s disposable income drops sharply.

Even the first point is enough to kill all but the largest patron-funded news services. The two combined? Guaranteed death sentence.

Guess Conservapedia wasn’t conservative enough.

Oh, good to know. Last time I checked around WASM this wasn’t really an option.

See the main issue with that is you need to bundle everything into the app.

Modern computing is inherently cross-dependent on runtimes and shared libraries and whatnot, to save space. Why bundle the same 300MB runtime into five different apps when you can download it once and share it between the apps? Or even better, have a newer, backwards compatible version of the runtime installed and still be able to share it between apps.

With WASM you’re looking at bundling every single dependency, every single runtime, framework and whatnot, in the final binary. Which is fine for one-off small things, but when everything is built that way, you’re sacrificing tons of storage and bandwidth unnecessarily.
