    maybe he does?
    if you're giving up your freedom, the thing you swear your loyalty and dependence to had better be absolutely perfect, because you're giving up your ability to fix it, and quite often also the possibility of moving on from it

    on the anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights, no less. I'm pretty sure the declaration mentions something about a right to an impartial court :-/

      Drutopia / Drutopia distribution
      from GitLab
      The main Drutopia distribution, and central point of discussion (issues, wiki pages). Base features for use in multiple Drupal distributions will be found in separate drutopia_* modules.

    the wasm is transferred from a server (that chooses the code) to a client (that runs it). you said the code running on the client wouldn't have access to client-local clocks. I retorted that was not as good as you thought, because NetSpectre enabled local clocks to be used to extract information from a remote host. if you find that confusing, we can swap "local" and "remote" reference points: a remote server can retrieve information local to a client running code supplied by the server without using local-to-the-client clocks for time-based side-channel attacks: server-side clocks, remote to the client, can be used for this purpose, as they were successfully used in NetSpectre

    abandoning the project would be the most clear sign of realizing how harmful to users' freedom the project is
    second to that, means to enable users to install and run software locally (as opposed to straight from a web server), mechanically obtain and verify that binaries match the provided sources, to enumerate licenses and block execution of undesirable ones...
    in the odd case a freedom-concerned user opts to run software from a third-party web server, tools to aid users in checking that software has not been modified since last time, and designed-in license annotations for manual and mechanical authorization or blocking of individual components, with possibility of replacement with locally-selected versions on a per-component basis. LibreJS offers a little of this (enablement based on license annotations, tools to aid source auditing), there are other browser plugins under development for local replacements, fragile as it will be

    > What's meant by "local clocks"?

    local to the attackers on the server, that's pushing code to run on a remote computer they wish to extract information from. i.e., just the sort of scenario we're talking about. (why would I have even brought it up otherwise?)

    it's not about bundling source, it's about making source available. there are tons of efforts underway to facilitate packaging of binaries for which sources are a second-class citizen, so they often end up missing and, when available, incomplete. I'm not seeing any signs that wasm is trying to set itself apart from this subculture that pushes sources further and further away from users, and induces users to blindly trust software controlled by others

    if I were into just wordplay, I'd just respond that "it's just a matter of time" :-)
    but there's more: I recall NetSpectre exploited remotely side-channels, using only local clocks, so it's not as clear-cut as you try to put it

    what you wrote makes a lot of sense to me
    what does not make sense to me is that the same argument appears to apply to paper money, and even more so to metallic coins. should we ban them because they cost energy (and materials) to produce, and the amount of them that gets irretrievably lost grows over time?

    a way for software you can't control to be delivered to and executed on your computer in object code form, so that you can't choose which version you wish to run, or where you wish to store your data?
    sounds like the WWWorst App Store to me

    running software off of random web site is bad for security too, not much better than curl|bash

    Folks making alternatives: don’t recreate the systems of closed, centralised silos. They’re designed with the needs and success criteria of closed, centralised organisations. You cannot compete with them on their own terms. They have the resources to create centralised workflows, you do not. And your success criteria are the opposite of theirs. You do not want to centralise information, power, and wealth. Think about where your strengths lie and design from first principles according to those.

    eu lembro de ver torradas francesas num filme (kramer vs kramer?) e achar que seria uma delícia. um dia experimentei e descobri que era só uma rabanada simplificada e piorada. grande decepção!
