Oh, I know those costs aren’t nothing. I live in a country with a minimum wage of 150$/month.

Its really shitty indeed, It’s so shitty I don’t think it can even run 720p videos locally without stuttering, let alone YouTube/Netflix,etc., but it’s only 50 bucks. (125H of work with the inmate wage of 0.40$/H 🤯 )

I thought that since it’s for inmates, they gonna try to rake up the price and sell it for like 300$ or more. Of course, they still can make big money on their back by making anything and everything a subscription. Want to watch a movie or play a game? It’s 20$ an hour.

Edit : https://theappeal.org/prison-tablets-ipads-jpay-securus-gtl/

Both JPay and GTL charge prisoners at every step of the communication process: In New York, each email sent or received requires a “stamp,” which costs $0.25—twice that if the message exceeds 6,000 characters, or if it includes a picture or card. For four stamps, friends and family can also send 30-second “video-grams” to loved ones inside.

Music, movies, e-books, and games can also be downloaded on JPay tablets for exorbitant fees. Songs are listed for as much as $2.50 each, and a single album can cost up to $46, according to state records. Renting a movie costs between $2 and $25. Until November 2019, when the company backed down in the face of public pressure, JPay was selling incarcerated individuals in a handful of states e-books sourced from Project Gutenberg, a database of free books

Lol.

Jail give you tablets now?!?!

IRS agent: Hey boss, I got one of those sovcit wackos on the line.

Boss: play along with their game, and give them this address so we don’t get their bullshit paperwork.

iRS agent : ok, but what will happen to them?

Boss : they should know that unless you’re insanely rich, you get fucked HARD if you don’t pay your taxes.

It may sound harsh, but I hope natural selection did it’s job. You can’t be this stupid and not be a danger to society.

Oil, democracy, war : You’ve got oil? We bring you democracy, by invading you.

I am ready to bet that he doesn’t know “inshallah” is an Arabic expression. I can’t imagine a trump voter using it otherwise.

These types of people are crazy but they hurt nobody. Wish it was always the case for Facebook crazies.

It could be. But then again, he did have the help of a Rust designer/core dev. I believe they even wrote the first iteration of the “Jakt” compiler in Rust before rewriting it in Jakt itself, so Andreas isn’t against using Rust.

Thank you!

I am pretty sure it was about how it was difficult for them to do oop with rust, but I reckon it was long ago and my programming knowledge is minimal.

Found it:

I vaguely remember the talk about needing oop for the web being on discord and not twitter, so the twitter post is likely a reaction that.

I thought US laws only used Latin for it’s brain shattering legalese terms. I make a fool of myself yet again 🥲

Thanks for the info.

Have a lien on my assets

I never really understood what the hell these sovcits say because English ain’t my native language and I can’t understand a word of legalese even in my mother tongue, so I didn’t really bother with it’s English counterpart. Seeing the French word for “link” being randomly used here tell me that all they’re saying is just pure bullshit to sound smart.

You’re doubting someone’s ability to create a web browser knowing that they specialize in browser development since the early 2000s?

If this isn’t enough to have confidence in them then nothing will.

The dev has 30 years of experience with c++ and a lot of it was on browsers.

He tried to incorporate rust with the help of “JT”, one of the original rust designers/devs and according to Andreas it didn’t work that well due to the web being too objet oriented or something like that. They both worked together (well, mostly “JT”) to create a new safe programming language called “yakt” that transpile to c++, but the project is currently pretty much dead because nobody is really working on it anymore.

If only.

We also have a fork of money, it’s called crypto and it’s used to sell and buy hookers and drugs. Every fork of something end up used to buy hookers and drugs. Truly marvelous!

I share the disappointment.

1. (BSD vs GPL) Andreas stated on twitter that he wanted to give devs total freedom to use his work because when he worked at Apple he felt frustrated he couldn’t incorporate some code/software into his work because of GPL.
2. (Why?) The aim is not to create a chrome competitor, but to make a good enough, truly free browser that isn’t either chrome or funded by chrome. A browser made for and by its user’s.
3. (Discord) Because of gen-z.

Their rendering engine is already pretty solide (see penultimate video in their channel). Now that their “no third party code” restriction is lifted, they can actually focus on building a browser engine instead of recreating 30 years worth of technologies from scratch.
