Jailbait and the like violate reddit's user agreement, and have done so for years, as does brigading. However, the admins are rather selective in their enforcement of it. Also, for what it's worth, jailbait and brigading are actually of questionable legality.

I wasn't moaning about their lack of 'free speech', I was complaining about the fact that reddit's admins frequently use 'free speech' as a pretext for allowing the conducting of illegal (and often also immoral, but that's another matter) activities and not enforcing its own user agreements. The...

It's incredible it actually needs press scrutiny to made reddit enforce its own privacy rules.

Now that they're taking down counterfeiting subreddits, how about the subreddits for jailbait, brigading and rape apologia? Oh right, 'free speech'.

Well, asm.js with emscripten might be what you want, then. Works in all browsers and lets you, with little difficulty, compile your C/C++ code to work in the browser.

NaCl breaks the web because it's not really a very open standard. Only one browser vendor implemented it or really is able to, and it was created by that browser vendor instead of in cooperation with others. There's no other "bytecode" aside from Java, but asm.js is close enough to the metal to...

PNaCl isn't really that open. It's designed around how Chrome works and is not easy to implement for other browser vendors. It's a single-implementation "standard"... which isn't a standard. It's been developed by Google and Google alone without input from other stakeholders and against the...

No it's not portable. What Google are doing is allowing you to compile to both PNaCl (for Chrome alone) and asm.js-like JS (for all other browsers). That's not true portability. That's a workaround. Which doesn't work in pepper.js, so is Chrome-exclusive. asm.js already has a compact format...

I find it really irresponsible for Google to enable proprietary single-implementation non-standards which aren't even going through standardisation on normal web pages. Extensions using PNaCl is fine, but letting any web page use it is just like what Microsoft did with IE and their own...

It was amusing when I found out about it. Basically, the malware would be uploaded, and very quickly replaced automatically with the correct code, then re-uploaded again, and replaced again, ad infinitum.

Uh, to be honest, so long as they have higher taxes than Bermuda there will be companies legally avoiding them.

I hope there's a safe harbour kinda thing. But it sounds like there is. You can't unknowingly distribute with intent to harass - so only revenge porn sites and the people who gave them the pics would really be targeted.

"But GTA is Western!" "But GTA is Western!" "But GTA is Western!" "But GTA is Western!" Yeah, we get it. You know, Japan does actually import plenty of content from the "West". Just as we import plenty from them.

Well, I liked how I could "bump to upload" to my computer. Will be a shame to see it go.

What does <p> do?

Please wake up, middle America.

I'd be surprised if "64-bit" means anything. Remember back when every console manufacturer tried to claim they had "32-bit" or "64-bit"?

That's not directly the fault of JS. Rather, it's people not implementing links properly. If a link uses the <a> tag, then a browser can do all sorts of things like colour it purple when it has been visited already, or allow middle-clicking to open in a new tab, or allow right-clicking and...

Oh, you're right. Not sure why I thought that. I'm probably confusing CSS with something else. Did I? I just said JavaScript has become an integral part of the web. I meant Richard Stallman, he's frequently referred to by those initials. He's a sort of software purist who refuses to use anything...

I'm not only thinking from the point of developer convenience. I am also thinking from the point of view of user benefit. I just can't see how, unless you're a RMS type, it really is a problem for users.
