The trick to a top HN comment is to basically reflexively react to the title with no regard for the substance of the relevant article. Amusingly, pointing out this self-evident truth is itself frowned upon and more offensive than the described trick, according to the sacred text.
Ofcom knows it's barmy. They are pursuing foreign sites because a) they are required to by law, and b) they are under political pressure to do so. But I suspect they are quite happy that it has backfired, to help relieve some of that pressure and bring into the open the barminess of the OSA enterprise.
Java FFI can be done, it is just on the messier end of the spectrum. I do a little bit of it as needed, but I've focused in on Polyglot languages for now, and deferred a lot of the hooks for nicely handling it to later work.
Talking about Java FFI invites you to say 'well then smart-ass how do you extend this Java class/interface over here with code written in your language' and frankly, that has never had a satisfying answer for any language that isn't Java.
But today you can pass Haskell Data.Text out through the FFI binding framework and it shows up on the other side as a valid TruffleString, in UTF-8 with zero copy semantics and if any Truffle language passes in a TruffleString that is UTF-8 encoded it gets unwrapped into Data.Text using the same.
That and some array support is pretty much enough to talk to everybody else.
nitter.cf is a controversial one because (a) it's not real Nitter - it's an AI translation into Rust and (b) - it's run by a person who also runs a child porn site
You can use twiiit.com or xxcancel.com to redirect you to any nitter that's currently working.
Can't escape the feeling that the original vulnerability was deliberately planted as a mechanism for law enforcement (or maybe criminal orgs) to "expedite" investigations.
And then Elizabeth had the example of Bloody Mary to avoid (not least of which: to not marry is better than to marry badly). "I have no desire to make windows into men's souls" is one of the wiser things any English monarch has ever said.
