I've been looking at getting a CDL and becoming a city bus driver, or maybe a USPS driver or deliveryman or clerk or something.

I remember it being interesting to work on. It's been years, but if I remember right, there is some way to convince the game to dump a log of unit positions during a multiplayer match, possibly as part of its desync handling. I enabl

I worked on this problem for a bit. What's going on is the game relies on the OS-provided C runtime libraries ("msvcrt"-style things) to do its math. Wine's implementation of these libraries does not match Windows'

Interesting! I wonder if it's a regional thing. I'm in the Twin Cities, so not a small town. Some smaller places do accept it, but I find it's pretty rare.

No one is being abused, you're buying into Epic's emotional advertising campaign.

I agree. Most (though not all!) Dems serve as tools of the owning class. That's the "largely unchallenged" part of my post, Dems are paid to be an ineffective opposition. The owning class circles the wagons when a real opposi

Yeah, so like I said, Epic got what they asked for. Why are they still complaining?
701.
by coldpie 1y ago
Epic broke the terms they agreed to, filed the lawsuit, launched an advertising and PR campaign to support it, and continue to make whiny complaints after they got what they asked for, but Apple are the bullies here? I'm not convinced

These are billion-dollar companies using the courts to fight over who gets a bigger slice of the pie. They are not your friends or allies.
703.
by coldpie 1y ago
Yeah, though Epic put themselves in the position of having the gatekeeper of an important part of their business want nothing to do with them, and now they're being whiny babies about it. Both parties suck here.

Yeah, there's no good guys in this fight. Apple may be behaving badly, but Epic broke the terms they agreed to, tried to use the courts to force Apple to change their App Store business model, and even kicked off a public PR campaign t

It's been so bizarre to see that spike in popularity in the past couple years. I was big into Touhou in high school in the early-mid 2000s. I listened to Bad Apple and the rest of the IOSYS Touhou library on burned CD-Rs in my car (yea

KeepassXC allows this, but the spec authors think this is bad and have threatened KeepassXC with being banned by authenticating websites. The spec has explicit support for banning clients built in. https://github.com/keepass

KeepassXC is a good client that lets you handle your data how you want. I wrote a pro-Passkey blog post here[1] that explains how to do your own syncing, though I later discovered Passkeys are explicitly built to support proprietary softwar

This is fine for corporate settings, where the data is not owned by the user but by the company. But it's completely unacceptable for managing one's own personal account. What do I do if I do not trust proprietary software to mana

KeepassXC lets you export the private key, which you can then back up or import into another KeepassXC instance. I have tested this, it works. I even shipped my exported private key off to a friend in another state and he was able to import

It's the best fit I'm aware of for any task where correctness is worth the dev time hit. That includes systems programming tasks, where you're shuffling memory and files and system resources around and an error could kill you

I agree, though I think it is worth giving some credit to the people who chose her & appointed her. They didn't have to do that. It was one of the more impressive moves by the previous admin, and won them a lot of points from me.
713.
by coldpie 1y ago
This is incorrect. The party makeup of the 5 people changed with the new administration. Lina Khan (D) left and Mark Meador (R) was appointed, changing the balance from 3(D)-2(R) to 2(D)-3(R).

I don't think that's a fair analogy. Unlike Lynx, which lacks a ton of modern browser features, KeepassXC is a fully functional Passkey client. There is no technical reason to reject KeepassXC logins, while there are legitimate re

Thanks for your reply. I do want this tech to work, so I keep hoping I'm wrong here. Unfortunately, you haven't convinced me yet. > some of them may reject Passkeys without certain metadata or attestations. But you will find ou
