Reply to does anyone remember thinkpads by twovests
I have two ThinkPads with me right now and I love them both. I'm typing this on a Gen1 X1 Carbon and to my right is my E495. Both run Linux of course (Void and temporary Fedora/Windows dual boot).
After years of use the X1's keyboard has one missing and one broken key and the fan tends to start making a weird noise when I move it but that's why I have the second one to replace it at some point.
I honestly don't think I could use any other laptop because for me the keyboard, its layout, and touchpad button placement are essential. I got really addicted to using PgUp/PgDown above the Left/Right arrow keys for switching workspaces and browser tabs with one hand. I also like that the Up/Down arrows aren't half the height of the other keys, I hate when laptop manufacturers do that. They're still smaller but just the right size.
Really the keyboard and the physical mouse buttons above the touchpad are the main reason why I got a second ThinkPad and not something else.

there is still no real integer type
the language always had proper signed and unsigned 32bit int support, though tbf it was boxed in 64bit floats, now we have BigInts
lacks good language-level primitives for concurrency
I guess "good" is the key word there but just in case I'll mention that we have: Workers in the browser and Worker Threads in Node.

Wait there's season two already? I didn't even get around to watching the first one yet because I'm a bit low on my NAS space for movies/shows :/

I wasn't being serious but also I'd say that if we can try to be more ethical we should go for it anyway. There being no ethical consumption shouldn't mean that we should just do whatever, but that we shouldn't feel bad if we can't do "better".

Celeste good, Epic bad.

if you're concerned about this addon's security:
The only thing it's doing is adding a bundled base64 encoded certificate and forcing a re-verification:
async doTheThing() {
// first inject the new cert
try {
let intermediate = "[[BASE64 ENCODED CERT OMITTED]]";
let certDB = Cc["@mozilla.org/security/x509certdb;1"].getService(Ci.nsIX509CertDB);
certDB.addCertFromBase64(intermediate, ",,");
console.log("new intermediate certificate added");
} catch (e) {
console.error("failed to add new intermediate certificate:", e);
}
// Second, force a re-verify of signatures
try {
XPIDatabase.verifySignatures();
console.log("signatures re-verified");
} catch (e) {
console.error("failed to re-verify signatures:", e);
}
}
and the addon itself was signed by Mozilla and is distributed by them in their studies program which is avoided by installing it manually ( so I wouldn't doubt it's legitimacy )
