My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me

Bullshit. Look around you. Get out of the shower and open your eyes. What, is it aliens responsible for all the violence in the world? It’s us. We do it. We are built to do it. Violence is VERY OBVIOUSLY inherent to our psychology.
Also, that’s not how trauma works.


I remember texture mapped graphics on a 6502.


Corporate Needs You to Find the Differences


If the registration email is compromised, the attacker can reset the password. So the password doesn’t offer any additional security, in actual practice, over just testing control of the registration email address. If anything, passwords are less secure.


Smearing authentication credential data out across the entire Internet makes a sloppy user safer because the inevitable breeches that come with being sloppy are contained, but it increases the demands on a safe user while also increasing their attack surface. Though such a user does typically have a single point of failure in the form of their own sloppy password management.


You can generate one-time-use email addresses by using the little-know mailbox field of the email address format:
kepix+you_can_write_anything_here_and_it_will_reach_your_inbox@gmail.com
Obviously this will not fool a human being into thinking you are a different person, but I have never encountered authentication code that treats two mailboxes at the same address to be the same person. This is useful for identifying the source of data breaches, when you start getting phishing attacks at your “kepix+reddit.com@gmail.com” address, and makes it trivial to train your spam/important filters.


Why make a new game when you can make money from micro transactions in your current one.
You are being facetious, but the question demands an answer: there IS no good reason for investors. It’s very likely Rockstart genuinely would not have made as much money developing new properties as they did exploiting their established ones. And if they did, it would have been a gamble vs a virtual sure thing.
The demands of capital are not compatible with art. These companies don’t serve our needs, they exploit our desires. Don’t buy art from corporations, buy it from artists.


When I came across this (not for the first time) a few years ago, I was staggered. It was like I saw a kid shooting hoops when graduated from elementary school in the 90s, came back 30 years later, and saw the same kid still shooting hoops with a beard around his knees. I really aught to see what three decades of development produced…
No, these guys manage a version of top. There are dozens of versions. Every major OS has their own top, or an equivalent. I bet there are even linux distros that don’t use this version of top.
(scoffs:) Arrow keys.
You’re not talking to Notepad users.

Great if you want steamed beets. You can just blanch them if you want them roasted.
You’re talking about procps-ng top.


No don’t look it up, simply assume that you know what it means without ever seeing a definition because your brain is just better than everyone else’s.
The Open Source Definition

Introduction
Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open source software must comply with the following criteria:
…


“Installing” is also a made up term. We made up both those terms because they are useful for describing distinct things that exist in our lives. “Side loading” further specifies “installing”. I really don’t get why this is so controversial to a certain segment and I suspect I’m just not that kind of autistic.


Don’t “skin” beets with a vegetable peeler. Blanch them and slide them out of their skins. It sounds like more work, but it’s so much less work.
