What's the truth on Java, /g/? I've heard some people

It's the same as with toolbars on a browser. Don't click stupid shit and understand when it might be necessary to look up at the address bar to make sure you're on the right webpage. Also, maybe get some add ons for your browser to prevent javascript from running unwanted scripts without you knowing. Even one click is enough to get some kind of file overwritten in some random folder and then all that needs to happen is for your environment to be run and bam, you just got fisted by a hacker.

Java is NOT Javascript.

left it installed* not uninstalled

I don't think modern browsers allow file handling on local storage.

>>55932236
You mean in browsers? Does anything use that today? Besides, you need to allow the web page to run java applet afaik (in firefox at least). Or just having java generally? Because if you run some program, it doesn't matter whether it's java, C or python, it can do whatever your privileges allow.

Yes, but the only available pathway for anything to be written to file is through a script fielding mechanism a la javascript. My post was not linear, as intrusion is not linear. It requires a sense of synchrony, synchrony of the a- kind. You really need to stop posting just to correct people. And please don't comment that you're sick of people making the mistake. Whatever sense of credibility you field for yourself when you correct people the way you just did me, it's really only an affectation of the local mediums. Yes, I know that makes no sense to you.

Well then.

I haven't ever really messed with javascript, just read cryptic article after cryptic article.


^^ If that's true, then really it was always just about not having the program gain local access. Java, the program, that is. At this point it would just be pointless to argue the sentiment that Java could be kept separate from the rest of the computer considering it's so bound to the core functionality of one, a computer.

My guess is that it's just one of the other Indian owned companies trying to gain leverage in a market where the breadth of programming technology has been hoisted by a single group and sold as a herald (Oracle). It's part of a merketing battle.

Java and javascript are two completely different things

Java is only dangerous if you have a JVM running dangerous code on your computer. Applets are dead though and other client side Java is pretty much dead as well (if you don't count Android and major trusted software like Eclipse and Oracle SQL Developer).
