Maybe, if online safety education was pushed as hard as these age verification laws.

Schools could teach cybersecurity to all children. Scanning faces and real-life IDs will fail to solve crime on the internet and will only succeed in destroying our privacy.

It seems his values aren’t much better now. Too bad his company is so successful.

I heard that in Japan phones have an audible shutter sound. Not mandated by law. Though I think that having this in the law is very reasonable. Maybe EU can step up. Taking photos is more fun with the sound too.

Of course! Glasses with cameras are a classic secret spy gadget :)

These phones change your lock screen into their „content” screen after updates, so you need to periodically go to settings to undo it. Phone owners shouldn’t have to root to permanently get rid of this stuff and other „suggestions”.

How are the generated Haskell programs? I imagine much shorter than Go and easier to eyeball for correctness, but can’t say as I’m not fluent in it. LLM-generated procedural Python scripts are very readable in my experience.

This config doesn’t make an open relay.

But the experience of using mailx is close to that time, hence the title. Even though I’m too young to know for sure :)

I do wonder about reliability. The only things I'm missing are the PTR record and reputation from what I gathered. Even if the mail server goes down, mail gets to me because email providers attempt to deliver again.

Anyway, I added a disclaimer at the top, so people don't treat this as a production ready setup.

As an interviewer I’d just skip the questions and talk about your Forth haha
