Upvote for being a European (EU) based product. Sadly, we are also in danger of slipping into totalitarism.

The FAQ has an entry for this that I just stumbled across:

Quote:

We dream of a world where technology (both SW and HW) is completely open, but at the moment, this is not entirely possible. Our goal is to contribute to progress in this line by publishing all our developments to support the community.

However, some components (such as the communications module or the CPU) do not have publicly available schematics and cannot be replicated. This prevents our device from being fully open source. Nevertheless, we are committed to publishing all our own development work and continuously seeking for components that respect user freedom without compromising usability.

Regarding the software, the entire operating system will be open source, and all LiberuxOS developments will be published. The installed software will also be open source. However, some parts of the firmware will remain closed, as some manufacturers do not release their code. Still, we will do our best to open more parts of our system over time.

Read the thread again, it seems you slipped somewhere. This was all about the claim that implicit conversion to string somehow could make sense.

Also, you contradicted yourself just then and there. Not a single of your examples does string concatenation for these types. It’s only JS

C# is filthy. But it explains where you got your warped idea of righteousness.

You are entitled to your opinion. implicit conversion to string is not a feature in most languages for good reasons.

I don’t think there’s a way to retrofit JS - but php versions are deprecated all the time. Why not do the same with client-side script versions? :)

Why would you need an entirely different way of concatenating strings? “11” + 1 -> exception. “11” + to_string(1) = “111”

Executing after undefined behavior is arguably worse than terminating with an exception. A terminated script can’t leak data or wreak havoc in other ways.

Thanks for saving me the typing.

Nor would I expect “1312” to equal “1213”… Still that operator with these operands should just throw an exception

BS. A language shouldn’t have operators that allow non sensical operations like string concatenation when one operand is not a string.

Definitely. I never changed it since before using the internet, “categorical imperative”: treat others as you would have them treat you. What changed with the internet? I realized that more people than I thought even in my most pessimistic moments are sociopaths. Conservatives are actually all emotionally retarded, some need therapy, some need prison to protect decent human beings from them.

if it’s Boeing, I ain’t going ;) (Modern Boeings only, the older ones pre 737-Max8 are kinda safe)

I don’t use any services that make me identifiable to search engines, I use ublock origin, I occasionally delete all my browsing history + cookies, and of course I’d never watch porn winkwink I’d say any corporation/entity outside the ISP would at the very least have a hard time tracking my porn preferences ;)

Do you really want your porn search results linked to your credit card + name? oO
