For me I think the difference is that software never used to be actually important, it was either games or just otherwise hobby software.

Now when something crashes I actually need it for work, or to bank, or to navigate, or hell sometimes the only menu at a restaurant is a QR code but my damn phone is failing to recognise it again.

When you introduce technology into every facet of life, it's suddenly death by a thousand cuts when things don't work, or are a slow buggy mess.

Then its time to break out the good old MUDs

There's a firefox extension that will pass cookies over.

Thank you, I've been thinking this for a while now but haven't had the words for it. Whenever I read an LLMs output or thinking process, I don't feel like we've created intelligent systems, just coked up monkeys with 60 arms typing at once. That can work fine for a lot of things, but a humanity replacement it is not.

Meanwhile my steam library of 900+ works pretty much flawlessly on linux. Yes the odd esoteric game needs a workaround or two, but honestly if you browse the pcgamingwiki then you'd notice you also need to tweak them on windows too, such is the problem with older games.

I have little sympathy that they're buckling over a problem they helped create.

Thank you, it's been infuriating reading these social media bans for children, as if when kids suddenly turn 16 or 18 or whatever magical nimber the courts come up with, they are suddenly immune to the psychological tricks from multi million dollar companies hiring the best psychologists with no morals money can buy.

Social media needs to be heavily regulated to the point where it's safe for everyone, or banned entirely. I don't understand why there's this belief it should have a right to exist when basically everyone agrees it's a net negative to society.

What's to stop you, using your 18+ ID from buying crates of alcohol and giving it to random < 18 year olds for the lulz?

They very specifically do not accept AI contributions because there is no way to tell if it's just regurgitating parts of the various Windows source code leaks from over the years ad-hoc, which would be a very costly mistake to make if Microsoft were feeling litigious.

Any of the Sims 1 prank phone calls would be amazing

And most people don't ever check their car oil.

The point is that the onus is on you to do it, and if you don't then the consequences are yours to bear. Personal responsibility seems to be in short supply these days.

Luxtorpeda maintains a pretty comprehensive list of game reimplementations

You browse torrent sites without uBlock Origin?

> It's not like people audit every line of kernel/driver/BIOS/EFI code before running Linux?

That's basically Torvolds full time job?

CTF is a game mode for popular online games like halo (or at least, that's how I know it), so paragraphs like

> My first CTF was HCKSYD, a 48-hour solo CTF. I full solved it and won in 2 hours. I was completely hooked. That led me to win DownUnderCTF, Australia's largest CTF, with Blitzkrieg multiple times. Blitzkrieg was one of Australia's strongest teams at the time. I later joined TheHackersCrew, an international top-tier team that was consistently ranked highly on CTFTime, the main global ranking and event calendar the scene uses as its scoreboard. With them, I competed in some of the most prestigious CTFs in the world, consistently placing well within the top 10 until the end of 2025.

Are still completely nonsensical to even those that understand the acronym

Merging a complete rewrite in another language in 9 days seems insane to me. Maybe I'm just too cautious but with something like this I'd split off as a separate binary and get some heavy use customers involved as testers first to see if it causes any unforeseen problems before slowly expanding it out.

I'd want to be pretty damn confident it won't cause any regressions before sunsetting the original codebase in favor of this one.

If you want to swap, then just do it right now? As far as gaming is concerned Linux just works, and reaches speeds that are more than good enough to do so, even if they're not exactly the same as windows - the steam deck is pretty much proof of this.

If Linux was measurably 5% slower on all benchmarks, would that mean you wouldn't do it even if you wanted to? Is every single nanosecond of performance really that important to you? I switched 10 years ago when things were a lot rougher than this, and in the end everything still worked well enough that I never cared to swap back.

No, its still a very useful mitigation tool.

1) Package owners will often realise they've been hacked quickly, since there are releases they never authorised. This gives them plenty of time to raise the alarm and yank the packages

2. Independent security researchers and other automated vulnerability scans will still be checking the latest releases even if users aren't using them

Yes it's not a perfect defense but it would help a lot.

I don't have any points of comparison since I've never used Bitwarden, but it works well enough for my purposes. It'll match the url, offer to autofill (sometimes those multiflow sites like Microsoft will trip it up, but you can always just right click -> enter username/password for a site and that'll work), and it does TOTP filling too.

Keepass is just a single file, you can share it between devices however you want (google drive, onedrive, dropbox, nextcloud, syncthing, rsync, ftp, etc); as long as you can read and write to it, it just works. There are keepass clients for just about everything (keepassxc for desktops, keepass2android or keepassdx for android, keepassium for iphone).

> when it doesn't pwn you.

That's a pretty big asterisk though. Taking on a supply chain risk in exchange for reducing developer friction is not worth it in a lot of situations. Every dependency you take increases your risk of getting pwned (especially when it pulls in it's own dependencies), and you seriously need to consider whether it's worth that when you install it.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes it is; I'm certainly not going to create my own web framework from scratch, but a web request helper? Maybe not so much.

> following all the attention the HN thread from the other day got

That's great for you, and no offense, but what about developers who can't get buzz in a HN thread? Are they just doomed? Why is support only available to those who can raise a ruckus on social media?

Pro tip: You could instead spend that money to spin up a forgejo instance for as little as $2 a month https://www.pikapods.com/apps#development (not affiliated, just a happy customer)

Please don't reward these companies with money.

> It's my understanding that you don't have to keep developer options enabled after you enable the advanced flow. Once you make the change on your device, it's enabled.

Ok, but why is this advertised to applications in the first place? It's quite literally none of their business that developer options are enabled and it's a constant source of pain when some government / banking apps think they're being more "secure" by disallowing this.

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

Explanation: It's just that... you have all these squishy parts, master. And all that water! How the constant sloshing doesn't drive you mad, I have no idea.

Is there a recommended or "blessed" server and client combo for someone who just wants to migrate their friends off discord?

The main site https://xmpp.org/software/ lists lots of different options but I have no idea what core/advanced means and comparing all of these would take ages.

I'd never heard of Ark UI before, and as a svelte and solidjs dabbler it's great it supports multiple frameworks. Thanks for this site!

I've never seen a website break from this, got any examples?
