News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Maybe someone should remind them to only shoot illegals.
The world is full of people wanting to be offended on behalf of other people.
Who's "we"?
Yeah, I can imagine it being a problem if it was from different IP addresses, but surely putting a limit on requests from a single IP would be a straightforward fix? Although maybe until it happens, you don't think about it.
I don't want to automatically blame Trump, but if the leader of the country ignores laws, why would anyone else think they are that important?

I've got no figures to hand obviously, but I'd be very surprised if the 128 (including +2 and +3) didn't outsell the 48K.

If I had toothache again, I'd let a dog with a hammer have a go at it if I thought it would stop the pain.

I couldn't find where it said that?
Obviously to save money, like everything.
Europe is more than one country.
What would be your definition of not running? It's like when someone says "We survived Covid!". Yes, you might have but thousands of others died.
Any kind of charge would make a nice change.

> it's clearly pointless

That depends what the aim of the war is. Is it to win, or just a distraction?

You're probably right. The wars have served their purpose, i.e. distract voters from domestic issues. Who in power cares if they win or lose if they're still in power?

What would qualify as having won? Every Palestinian dead?
I'm not a fan of Morrisons, but they do have a great range of booze.
Why wouldn't they? There's been very little repercussions for anyone so far. Apart from the Netherlands bracing itself for sanctions from America because the ICC dared to suggest someone might have done something wrong.
Or any of the other million or so sci-fi stories that predicted this might happen.
The real advantage of AI is the fact it can be blamed, absolving any humans of responsibility or repercussions.
I think it's something to do with them issueing an arrest warrant in November 2024 for Netanyahu for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity as part of the ICC investigation in Palestine.
Take your pick from the millions of options already turned into films and books.
> but can be overwhelming

That's an understatement and a half. It's massively over engineered and complicated, especially when compared with (say) the dashboard on Itch.

I guess that's what the EU is trying to be.
Re:US confirms for first time it has deployed space weapons on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @05:59AM (#49710103)
I feel safer already. What's the worst that could happen? I'm sure no-one will put an AI anywhere near it.
Re:Spaceships (Reverse Asteroid) on Monday September 14, 2026 @06:21AM (#49694537)
I created a reverse Space Invaders a few months ago, but I struggled to get it to be a fun game as you just move left and right avoiding the players bullets. (I'd post a gif, but it looks exactly like Space Invaders to watch).

What's to stop this nu-web going the same way?
How did you extrapolate that leap of logic? Maybe we suck at business.
You're going to have that problem with any kind of change.
Why pointless?
This is amazing. How long did that process take? Was it almost just a case of giving Claude the binary files and then prompting "please recreate this in Godot"?
