The populist left are happy to use video too. All UK and Australian politicians are on Twitter and Tiktok and numerous podcasts that then get soundbite sliced.

kinda. but not really. they just showed a lack of effectiveness and has emboldened other countries to further restrict things like VPNs and roll out ID based net access

The UK government have at least made it clear that they intend to ban right wing media and parties that aren't aligned.

A leaked strategy document from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, outlined their "Kill Musk's Twitter" to diminish the platform through advertiser pressure and regulatory action

Got any numbers/sources for that specific claim?

So just DNS block them in the UK. They don't need YouTube

you don't use YouTube?

house prices

yeah, add that to the negatives.

standard in DSP. Super cool and can be used on stock trades and other predictive markets.

right wing?

yes - a fair few

Must be some heinous crimes to enable dragnet surveillance. That or the rotten state of Britain really is trying anything from splitting at the seams.

Must be the heinous crime thing tho.

uhm. Europe is ID gating their entire internet - they're not bothered about foreign powers, just control.

same in Australia

Banksy was born Robin Gunningham but later took the name David Jones

long been known as establishment friendly

Incredible news. I've ordered one myself... wish the 16 Pro was out but I figure it makes sense to support companies doing the things you want.

The last thread on framework was disappointing in how many said "oh, if it just had X I'd totally buy it" who probably all use Mac's with it's basic configuration.

The go tooling and ecosystem and how it "just works" runs rings around the Java clowncar.

The classic "if it disagrees with me, it's a far-right neo-Nazi" rhetoric. Sadly thiss is becoming depressingly common in certain corners of tech discourse.

X has the best AI news, the best virality for good content and sure - it has a lot of shit, but community notes and curated feeds keep the noise low.

You're not really making a good point if you can't distinguish.

Fin.ai by telecom is a full product powered by LLMs and makes $100m ARR.

Make your point and save the attacks and maybe you can be helped.

Except writing rust doesn't feels like flying, it feels like falling.

what do you mean by "run AI"?

as in, providing self hosted models? or running Claude code/Codex? or using it for support? or what?

Great write up of a problem that I'm glad Golang sidesteps

The problem with this is that it's systemic and central to Rusts trait-based ecosystem composition.

Go’s has a version but it's much smaller and more local. In Go, consumer-defined structural interfaces remove most of the pressure that causes the Rust problem in the first place which is producer led.

we went from the Linux and later Napster era of "information wants to be free" pretty quickly over the past decade.

Billions have been spent on changing our minds and our children so privacy and privacy are bad.

chrome was the fork. KHTML from Konqueror became webkit became Safari and chrome.

nothing to do with left or right. the UK is left and has the most Orwellian surveillance state outside of China

hah. Could.

At university over a decade ago, we were looking at using Bluetooth/WiFi signals to create live room maps for military applications.

Since then, the tech has only got better.

The architecture was designed for determinism and performance:

- Go WASM engineowns the scene graph, evaluates timelines, compiles draw commands

- Canvas2D frontend executes the command buffer (GPU-accelerated by the browser)

- Go backend handles collaboration, persistence, and video encoding via ffmpeg

- Operation-based document model - every mutation is an operation that supports undo/redo and real-time sync

We chose a command buffer architecture (engine emits draw commands, browser rasterizes) over Figma-style pixel rendering in WASM. Canvas2D is already GPU-accelerated, and Go's WASM ecosystem doesn't have a battle-tested software rasterizer. This gives us hardware rendering for free while keeping the engine deterministic.

Just imagine what happens when lawmakers discover the possibilities of every one with access to a lathe or CNC machine.

Absolutely ridiculous.
