I wonder if there is a way, sane and friendly way, to prove that a piece of software is only accessing whatever it claims it will access.
Programmer by day and night. Lover of art. Mixing art and programming is the dream.
Like network addresses or file system access. I want to be able to claim in my software that it only touches this or that file and I can prove it
I believe the sanest and friendliest way would be for it to be open-source so it can be audited.
I know, and that's totally fine, but it is not always friendly. I guess an agent can "audit" it.
Just the fact that it can be audited plus your word is enough. Noone would need to look any further, because they could if they had to.
I think a trusted piece of software such as your operating system should be in charge of managing permissions. For example, I believe with Wayland on gnome you no longer need to promise you aren't secretly taking screenshots of the whole monitor and shipping it somewhere because to do that Wayland requires you to get user permission.

creator of textlog I got weirdly rate limited for one hour and the experience was extremely odd. No site link worked. None. I was trying to reply and halfway I wanted to fact check something, copied my half finished message and went back a page, checked and went ahead to click reply or something and boom! Rate limited.

Sorry about that. It was an over-eager protection I put for crawlers visiting links with huge backlinks. I removed it now and thinking of other solutions. cc
Now when you hit the heuristic it will show you a captcha to prove you’re not a bot and that will whitelist you for the day.

creator of textlog I tried to post a reply but something happened and it got lost. Maybe server refresh? Had to re-type it :)

I've hardened the path so it will try to keep what you've typed in case of a server failure plus also added username tracking in the logs to make my life easier next time. Let's see!

Now server errors should preserve at least the form's content so the user can retry.

creator of textlog the minus “button” to collapse long threads is tiny on mobile. Most often than not I open the message that I want to collapse. Maybe add a bit of padding (for size) and negative margin (for position) in CSS.

❤️ love it. This is too fast of a feedback loop. It feels like you are having your finger on the trigger!
Haha, yeah, I will link it here again, I'm using the Chaos model and I'm taking users' requests to be "Urgent" immediately, meaning that's what I'm solving before any other task.

creator of textlog:If you didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t have realised there was a way to collapse threads. Pretty cool!
Zik is my pet project - a photos manager that is as fast as possible and as small as possible. It leaves sparks as it goes (lol jk)
i like things being as fast as possible. link?
Unfortunately no. Just starting it. Got the proof of concept loading a dir with its sub-dirs then rendering on the GPU in textures silky smooth. 1.7mb executable, but will need to level up to SDL and that will double the size I think.
