tim44 commented on Man who thought opening a TXT file is fine thought wrong   paulosyibelo.com/2021/04/... · Posted by u/hyperpape

Oh, man. The idea that TextEdit automatically parsed .txt files as HTML if they started with a certain file signature is problematic...

...but the fact that file:// schemes can access remote files by appending /net/ followed by a domain name is pretty shocking.

I mean, the entire purpose of "file://" would seem to be to provide access to local/mounted files and only those.

The fact that a Mac engineer thought it would be a great "feature" to allow file:// to access the entire internet is... kinda terrifying. Did that get patched, or was it only TextEdit?

The comment spoke to behavior, not the person.

This is often conflated into a personal attack, and it should not be.

What we do is not who we are, just saying.

Clearly wherever this is (US?) prisons are not about rehabilitation and inclusion back into society.

Weren't there any classes? Books? Library? Computer rooms?

It's complete failure of a justice system if person comes out of prison like from a time capsule. IMHO it may just increase recidivism - what can a person do in a "free" world if he/she were not let to know about the world outside prison walls?

Budgets are stretched thin as it is. They have only three ways to spend the taxpayers' money for prisons: More walls, more bars, more guards. My uncle wrote the state senate two times a week for years requesting funds, they couldn't ignore him forever. But getting out, he couldn't believe how fast things move on the outside, like the world went and got itself in a big damn hurry.

I would agree "slave" seems a weird choice of a word but I can see nothing wrong in "master". Not a single moment in my life I thought about slavery when hearing/seeing the word "master". Should we also rename master degrees perhaps?

With the NBA right now, there is debate about teams having "owners."
