It’s what plants crave

Theoretically speaking… It could be possible for the compiler to recognize certain patterns and inject arbitrary instructions into the compiled code of interest. If it were really smart it would probably be limited to some specific platforms of interest, be some otherwise harmless looking instructions, that might do something to allow consistent exploitation under some specific circumstances. I’m just spit balling here, I’ve not put much thought into this past “I’m sure there could be some nasty shit you could do if you wanted to.”

Another option might be hiding some information about the author and the system doing the compilation in binaries.

You’re trusting the compiler to convert human readable code into machine readable code. I suspect you could sneak some “unreachable” code in there or something, and if it doesn’t look scary it’d be easy to write it off as a quirk of optimization or something.

Edit: I have no evidence this is being done or has ever actually been done. I’m just saying that it’s theoretically possible.

I’m not sure why it’s pushed so hard other than I suspect the compiler is compromised or something by some alphabet agency.

If that’s not it, I’m about to get real curmudgeonly. People tout it being “safe by design” and “better than c” because of memory safety being built in, etc.

I’m no rust expert, though I’m arguably a (embedded at least) c expert, which biases me to some extent at least.

My take is that for situations where memory safety was already critical, my understanding is that rust mechanisms would have to be bypassed anyway and the safety of C is ensured by processes proven over decades…

So basically it feels like the CISA people trying to push “modern languages with modern safety” either because they don’t understand how we actually do things or because they want us to use it for another reason… Both of which are equally believable to me.

I guess the question is if capitalism is “successful” does fascism mean that the desired outcome is a reversion to feudalism?

Kinda seems like it does.

Edit: maybe “desired” is the wrong word, perhaps “natural” is more appropriate.

If they’re a c-suite exec they think you’re being pessimistic because you fear for your job.

If they’re a rando they think the propaganda they’ve ingested is right and you’re stupid or they didn’t see you as an expert compared to the propagandists.

I wish people were better at being people.

“He who is subjected to a field of visibility, and who knows it, assumes responsibility for the constraints of power; he makes them play spontaneously upon himself; he inscribes in himself the power relation in which he simultaneously plays both roles; he becomes the principle of his own subjection”

Ah yes. Domination of the soul is so much more humanitarian than domination of the body.

Regardless, I think you’ll find a lot of us in agreement with you, especially right now.

Ah, a fellow chiefs fan, I see.

Member the verification can greentext?

It is as was foretold.

He’s gonna be at whatever the fuckin name of Rogans terror shed is this Friday at 7.

I just have a bunch of pods, can I just like… Grate them?

You’re not making a bad point in any normal place, but we do have fire departments in the United States that you pay directly and if you don’t pay, but your neighbor does, they will come make sure that your house doesn’t catch your neighbors on fire as it goes.

So… Some people in this country live somewhere that has (even if it’s not actually for-profit) fire departments that discriminate based on payment status.

Hey now, anarchists are always happy to see capital wetting itself.

It is probably the most liberal thing you could do to never acknowledge the state monopoly on violence until someone to your left is wielding it.

The biggest capital holiday of the year is coming: black Friday.

This capital holiday, this entire holiday season, has already been well and thoroughly fucked by this admin.

Normies denied treats are already screaming. People losing food benefits are screaming. Soon, the grocery stores will scream, the retailers will scream, and perhaps even wall street will scream. It’s like if Rome had all the bread and circuses in the world, but executed the clowns (I know they were races, but bear with me) in the streets and pissed on all the bread, instead of distracting the public.

Honestly I keep thinking that if you’re interested in dual power structures, you need to be building all of this yesterday because there is no better time to exploit demonstrable weakness and build class solidarity.

I wonder if they genuinely think they could put down unrest at that scale.

I just don’t think they have the numbers or actual will for it.

Even if you aren’t directly affected by this stuff you know people who are. It was one thing when they created a reality without facts for their followers, but it seems like they’ve eaten their own tail on this and now genuinely believe the reality they’ve made up.

There’s a violent white supremacist group that claims only 3% of the population rising up resulted in the successful American revolution.

42 Million people are on the brink of starvation, by their government, at the behest of capital and the government isn’t even trying to hide it. Seems like greater than 3% of the US population…

Perfect reactionary sentiment: “if I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist.”

It’s wild that not only do they primarily react to shapes and colors, but they also adopt the infant framework of lacking object permanence.

This was most of my life as a KC fan. It was always a family thing, watching or listening to games, it wasn’t ever really about the score, even when it was.

This one’s actually at least a little bit Obama’s fault.

The cash for clunkers program devastated the secondary market for vehicles in the United States. Great for the auto companies short term, but long term it removed so much secondary inventory that the market was eviscerated, leaving regular ass Americans in the lurch without a pool of cheap, relatively reliable vehicles.

But hey, it generated net growth for the shareholders for at least a couple quarters, so ultimately it was worth it right?
