No, most definitely not, and it… Sucks.

I just wanna sit down and play Minecraft or something again.

Or peach 🍑 or splash 💦

Kind of dumb really, I hate censorship.

Perfect opportunity for them. Even worse are organized hate groups like KKK and friends

The hard part is in the scripting, the retries, the back off, automation, queuing and queue management…etc

At that point I’m implementing my own bootleg TubeArchivist 😅

Oh it’s definitely an easy to read DB. But that’s still beyond the point IMHO.

If you can’t reconstruct the state of your files without 3rd party software to interpret them, then they are not in an archive format.

One should be able to browse their data using OS native tools on an offline device push comes to shove.

2FA I’m sure.

The attitude here is the following (I am neither enforcing, nor criticize this):

When random thugs come to your door to kidnap you and/or your family, you defend yourself, and your family. With any force available to you. ICE are acting like these thugs, often not even in uniform, they are brown coats.

You didn’t necessarily know who it is or what there intentions are.

And rule NUMBER 1 of being taken, is NEVER ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE TAKEN TO A SECONDARY LOCATION. Anything they would be willing to do to you now, they would be willing to do 10x once you’re in a place they feel safe.

Anyways, the concept being that if it’s dangerous for brown coats to “do their job” and kidnap people, they’re less inclined to. And citizens have a right to defend their rights and their liberties.

Sounds like American healthcare to me.

You either cope, and probably cause irreparable hard to yourself, or you go to the clinic or ER and get labeled a drug seeker.

I mean at this point you’re just being intentionally obtuse no? You are correct of course, volatile memory if you consider it from a system point of view would be pretty asinine to try and store.

However, we’re not really looking at this from a system’s view are we? Clearly you ignored all the other examples I provided just to latch on to the memory argument. There are many other ways that this data could be stored in a transient fashion.

I mean, it’s more complicated than that.

Of course, data is persisted somewhere, in a transient fashion, for the purpose of computation. Especially when using event based or asynchronous architectures.

And then promptly deleted or otherwise garbage collected in some manner (either actively or passively, usually passively). It could be in transitory memory, or it could be on high speed SSDs during any number of steps.

It’s also extremely common for data storage to happen on a caching layer level and not violate requirements that data not be retained since those caches are transitive. Let’s not mention the reduced rate “bulk” non-syncronous APIs, Which will use idle, cheap, computational power to do work in a non-guaranteed amount of time. Which require some level of storage until the data can be processed.

A court order forcing them to start storing this data is a problem. It doesn’t mean they already had it stored in an archival format somewhere, it means they now have to store it somewhere for long term retention.

Same, having the freedom to ride my bike wherever I could and meet and play with other kids was crucial to my social and personal development.

Which is honestly a travesty.

Kids need to be able to have freedom to play, explore, and be out and about.

Society making it dangerous and discouraging what is necessary for healthy development is not great for society.

Well yeah!

That’s the CD part :)

We’re rolling the same thing, except with all our cloud infrastructure, our code, and various integrations.

Automatic deployments are so great, as long as you trust your integration process and test suites.

Hopefully both!

There’s a reason we value the local development environment.

You can run everything locally, the only use for the cloud environment is for CD.

Seriously, no way. I’m giving up my guns now that we have brown coats.

The sad part is is that you’re right.

And the reason that it’s sad is that most of the individual veneers on proprietary projects deeply about a project itself and have the same goals as they do with open source software, which is just to make something that’s useful and do cool shit.

Yep, the business itself can force them not take care of problems or force them to go in directions that are counter to their core motivations.

Ever is this data dump so I can mirror it?

Yep, just like electron or Tauri. A web view wrapped in a native application.

These are very common these days, it’s the same use case and value proposition. Mainly because it’s just easier to develop UIs with web technologies that look the same everywhere, never without the app.

You do know that a pwa can be packaged up in an app container and you won’t even be able to tell the difference?

It doesn’t actually have to operate like a pwa, and require native pwa sport.

There are tons of apps that you use that are just well packaged PWAs, packaged as an app store app, and you don’t even know about it.

PWAs only suck on when they suck, just like everything else.
