they sure aren’t disproving how woke they are

Why do you think that they need to be doing this?

From what I’ve read, that person is not officially affiliated with the Godot project. They just moderate an unofficial Discord server that is Godot-related.

If you read the article, the described attack allows a man-in-the-middle attack on two devices while they are pairing.

This means that someone could intercept and modify your bluetooth mouse or keyboard inputs, resulting in complete compromise of the device they are connected to.

Pretty sure this was described exactly in Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson, 1992).

The (50!) games

50! presumably referring to the number of different orderings in which you could play them?

I think you forgot to post the article.

Instead of linking to a jpeg hosted on a non-HTTPS website for a weird investments scam you could just link wikipedia:

If you think that international diplomacy between nation states is like handling kids then you’re not a veteran diplomat either.

Reuters just regurgitating investor-bait because they have no domain expertise. Maybe Reuters journalists should be getting some training from experts too.

I’m no “veteran diplomat” but in my experience it is only the people without real power who make threats. When you have power, you don’t need to make threats. You just respond to events with whatever proportionate response is necessary and within your capability. You don’t need to provide a preview of what those responses will be.

Setting “red lines” looks to me like weakness because it is essentially a plea to the other side not to do those things that you don’t want them to do, and it invites them to push up to those red lines, do anything but, and test their boundaries to test your commitment to them.

Then what you bought is not a mouse, it’s a proprietary peripheral that emulates a mouse when you install its propretary drivers.

Back in the 00’s we had to fiddle with ifconfig and friggin’ /etc/network by hand. Things have gotten a lot better.

I was just thinking that I’ve never had any problems with either WiFi or Ethernet connectivity since NetworkManager became a standard part of modern distros. Before that I was having to install windows drivers with ndiswrapper and configure interfaces manually in ifup and ifdown scripts, and I haven’t had to do that for at least 15 years now.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but railing against “forced diversity” is just a dog-whistle for rejecting actual diversity.

Normal people don’t actually care about it. If something is shit because it’s badly written with bad character design then we say “it’s shit because it’s badly written and has bad character design,” not “it’s bad because it has women and minorities.”

You clicked the tree somewhere and it would tell you either to try again, or you would win something. I think most people who won got $5 and a monkey plush toy. I’m not sure anyone ever won the jackpot. You could just click over and over again trying to remember where you had previously clicked, like a treasure hunt. Meanwhile they’re showing banner ads on the page.

It worked using the ismap attribute on the image which tells the browser to add the x,y coordinates of the user’s click to the link when fetching the result.

Does anyone remember the TreeLoot.com MoneyTree? It existed from 1998-2004 and looked like this:

I’m all in favor of going back to the old internet, but… not this.

Please down your use of “up” as a verb. It ups my blood pressure and downs my tolerance of reading newspaper headlines.
