The challenge here is for YOU to come up with a solution that is better than what is already used, which you have not.

You have thrown away all the parts that are hard, and suggest only implementing the part that is easy, in a bad way.

That is not a viable replacement. Those hard parts are necessary. You can't just ignore them.




Your argument is based in functionality.

You are willing to trade security for functionality.

My argument is based in security.

I am willing to trade functionality for security.

You are correct, what I have suggested is not a viable replacement, if functionality is desired.

But I am also correct, what I have suggested is a viable replacement, if security is desired.

Also, I would suggest that the challenge is on YOU - to live with all of the future security and privacy ramifications of the position you take, because by choosing functionality over security, you equal-and-oppositely UNCHOOSE security...

You cannot have both, and if you believe you can, if you want to persuade me, then the burden of proof is upon you to rigorously and mathematically prove it.

Until then, I remain unconvinced...


Nobody is willing to trade this functionality. You are going to just have to take this as a given.

People aren't going to stop wanting to use computers in their own language just because you are upset about font rendering. It is just not happening, and there is no point in discussing it.
