This must be the first rust project I compile that carries less than 850 crate dependencies and doesn't require an implementation of Aho-Corasick. Amazing!

Honest Achmed, of course!

That was interesting and I looked it up, because it's also used as a vulgar word in Greek.

Apparently the Greek word is a loanword from Romanian (which got it from Latin), but what's more interesting is that although we both use it in the literal sense (a tuft or lock of hair, wool, or soft fibers), as a vulgarity we have assigned different meanings: In colloquial Romanian, floci is widely used as a slang term for pubic hair, while in colloquial Greek, floki means semen.

REWRITE IT IN C!

I initially thought this would be part of a fuzzer.

Though now it's long buried in internet folklore graveyard, there once was a popular shock image (and an associated website) called "goatse". (If you never heard of it, you better NOT google it).

For awhile, people had been spotting goatse in several logos.

About half of these designs would confuse me. Some would make me right out refusing to run your software - even from the installation step.

I get it that designers like to innovate, but please innovate somewhere else. I want my UI/UX boring, dull and consistent.

I stopped reading at "...that don’t have dangerous capabilities..."

Back when [1] it was fashionable to advocate FOSS as ideology [2], we were thinking about tons of FOSS adversaries and how to protect from them - some real, some imaginary. The death of FOSS would come from big closed-source vendors, or from regulators (lobbied or just ignorant), from whatever.

We never envisioned that the actual FOSS death spiral would come from progress itself, much more so from AI...

[1] Oh what fun did we have. One of us in the Greek FOSS community actually put RMS in jail. [2] Something that I think nobody except RMS ever seriously believed in.

2:410/3 here. These were some of the best days!

Don't give them ideas

I heard there's a country where they can even SWAT you out of existence with a simple phone call, but it sounds so outrageous this must be some evil communist dictatorship third-world place. I really don't remember.
