If you're using Entity Framework for the mssql, I doubt that this library would work as a substitute.

Because that linq gets parsed into expression trees and then send to the underlying provider (mssql/mysql etc) to be converted into sql. So if you you some non-standard library those providers won't be able to convert that linq to sql

Typescript itself is not really getting any faster, just transpiling Typescript to Javascript

Many people believe that the ToS was added to make Mozilla legally able to train AIs on the collected data.

"Don’t attribute to malice what is easily explained by incompetence"

So yea Mozilla wrote some terms that where ambiguous and could be interpreted in different ways, and 'many people believed' that they did this intentionally and had the worst intentions possible by their interpretation of the new ToS

Then Mozilla rewrote that ToS after seeing how people were interpreting the original ToS:
https://www.theverge.com/news/622080/mozilla-revising-firefox-terms-of-use-data

And yea, now 'many people will believe' that 'Mozilla revised their decision to do this after the backslash' - OR, it was never their intention and now phrased it better after the confusion

People just want to get their pitchforks out and start drama at any possible opportunity without evidence of wrongdoing... Mozilla added stupid stuff to the ToS, ok yea fair enough - but if they actually did "steal user data" - this would be very easily detectable with Wireshark or something

"It's against the law to export to china, but they're doing it anyways."

"What if we prevent it by making it even more against the law?"

Right...

This feels like a personal attack

Programming.dev is hosting Iceshrimp: https://bytes.programming.dev/

You could host your own instance, or if your opinion-pieces are programming related, post them there

It probably depends on the level of the criminals and organized crime groups. I saw this Youtube video a couple weeks ago that talks about the history of how organized crime groups were using encrypted communication https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gigIOc_0PKo (And how they were honey-potted by the FBI to use an FBI-hosted service, lol)

Organized crime groups that make 100s of millions should be capable enough to hire skilled developers and sysops to host self-managed services. At some point if they make enough money, investing in self-managed communication becomes preferable over using telegram or signal.

No one's questioning why he's sorting it twice?

I'm a bit of a noob in hardware design, so maybe this is a stupid question, but why is a FPGA scary?

It would seem scarier to me if they actually fabbed an FPGA into an ASIC right? That could maybe indicate they have some kinda plan to mass-produce them, no?

Although I agree with the sentiment - the article mentions that it's "only" regarding about 1 mil people. (Probably South Korean users)

So it's still a $15 fine per violation. Could have been much higher, sure, but I don't know if that's a good return of investment for Facebook.

Maybe this case sets an example for other countries or regulatory bodies to start issuing fines to Facebook as well
