    I'd call crates the beginning, and those came with the Mann-conomy update in 2010.

    I really can't agree, there are so many great VNs out there and DDLC only really stands out in that it plays heavily to the English-speaking world's preconceived notions of VNs as …

    That's already an option, too.

    There is video of the accident floating around. I recommend against going looking for it...

    Agreed, I've been through something like this before and it was not legit. They'd compromised a Bangladeshi police email account and used it to try to get data out of us.

    That's right, there's no guarantee the data hasn't been tampered with after encryption. The mechanics of the tampering you could do depend on the cipher mode you use. To give a sim…

    Steam on Linux already uses LD_PRELOAD under-the-hood to load the overlay. Valve signs the overlay SO files, so they could be making an exception for Valve-signed-preloads in VAC, …

    This is a good way to go; also the affiliated wikis, forums, and subreddit can be a useful resource.

    This could work for domestic requests, but the one example of this I've seen in the wild (and this was mentioned in the original post) involved a request (supposedly) coming from p…

    That's a matter of repository policy, but yes, Flathub (by far the largest and most popular repository) allows for this. I believe that they generally put a disclaimer that it's no…

    I've heard that it works fairly well on Proton already. In fact, perhaps even better than it does on Windows in some regards as a result of Valve having implemented some mitigation…

    It's _very_ good at "learn by example" with some twists. It _does_ make mistakes, and I do double check it, but it still definitely saves time. I used it to write the bulk of a new…

    I've been using Wasabi for a project where cost is more important than anything (i.e. a side project with reasonable scale that can't accept income) and on that front it is great. …

    Sorry, I assumed (incorrectly) given we're downthread of a bunch of purposefully awful ideas.

    You're joking, but I've read that Valve Software does/did something similar, every desk in their office is on wheels so you can move your desk to join up with whatever project you …

    I don't think it's currently possible for any cloud service to make this obsolete, at least in the ways that I'd want to use a portable gaming device. Which is to say, mostly in tr…

    It does that for me even _in_ the app, so no, it's just broken...

    Rocket League is not (yet) available on the Epic Games Store, and has not been removed from Steam.

    Erlang's VM runs a scheduler on top of a number of OS threads. If an actor blocks, that actor won't be scheduled to run until the blocking call is finished, but you won't consume a…

    Once you solve the first challenge it tells you to send an email to an @gov.il email address, which confirms it pretty well for me.

    The use of Pickle isn't uncommon for session cookies in Python apps, from what I've seen. Pickle isn't really a problem unless you end up unserializing untrusted data... which a si…
