Not with bash. If your distro is putting ./ into the path then that's absolutely a high severity CVE with your distro's config.

As someone who has moderate to fairly heavy lighht sensitivity when I'm not dealing with migraines and extremely heavy light sensitvity with headaches, I'm just going to say that y…

Missed opportunity to call it OpenStreetMac or OpenStreetMac9.

It occurs to me that some of this could be really useful to implement into SteamInput for players with disabilities. Someone really needs to show this article to Valve.

Yeah, try the water in most of Arizona, where it's so hard you could cut diamond with it. Only half-joking. You'll get an appreciation for places where you can't really taste what'…

Yep. I'd just about kill for a decade where we go back to 80s flicks. Some of the best quantity and quality we've ever had for mass-appeal movies, and they didn't cost anywhere nea…

I was already complaining about the price when it was only $30 for two tickets, two drinks, and popcorn. To think it's more than double that now! Add in the fact most anyone can ha…

Yep. "Mother of all X" memes weren't even remotely uncommon for a handful of years during and after Operation Desert Storm. The Iraqi Minister of Information, Mohammed Saeed al-Sah…

Sure. The reimplementation of the IBM PC BIOS that gave birth to IBM Compatibles is the canonical example.

Strong disagree. Zoom in and the clusters break up. Without the clustering, the map is a total mess when zoomed out.

IRCv3 (and many clients are supporting fair chunks of IRCv3's feature set) supports offline state and message history.

I'd call that a pretty major feature omission since it means splitting things across multiple apps.

So.. just because a tool can be potentially mishandled (e.g. put in the hands of a toddler, which is basically what vibe code ends up being) because it's easy to use, you never wan…

I'm getting off-topic with this, but a quick aside: In my teens I began to learn that most of the people on my father's side of the family were horrifically broken people with seve…

I try to consider how I feel about this, and all I come back with is an emptiness, a follow feeling. I'm not going to gloat, nor am I going to consider him even remotely a good per…

Unlikely. MajorBBS had the ability to act as a SLIP/PPP connection back in 1993-1994 but most people would have still gone with a full ISP.

I wouldn't even call it a "race" to the bottom. It took until maybe 1995 for prices to drop enough for some of the clone manufacturers to start going out of business. Radio Shack c…

Ditto. Every time I get a "Hey, you should send your father a happy birthday message!" it's a stab to the heart over someone dead over 12 years now.

That's been my experience. The Pi 3 was notorious for killing SD cards, for instance. I know one guy who eventually just moved all Pi 3 installations he made over to USB sticks bec…

We already know prices will go up considerably-- they always do after a merger, and you'll lose the option of subbing for one or the other only when they have something you want to…

Or, for that matter, using GitHub Actions to do the final Hugo build and remote deployment when you do a git push.

No, they absolutely know. They've been very very slowly migrating stuff over to the new Settings panel bit by bit. If you look at what's in Control Panel now, it's maybe half as mu…

CRT simulation didn't run well on Intel iGPUs for a very long time. While they could run the effects, they couldn't run them fast enough. There was longstanding advice in the emula…

Considering that MAME's shaders run fine on a 2011-era laptop with the positively primitive Intel iGPU of the Sandy Bridge era, I can only assume they're intending to run this on s…

GoG is packaging a large chunk of their library in an emulator already. DOSBox is what got them started, in fact.
