I posted the most recent mirror possible a little further up this thread. Hopefully it works for you. Not sure what other repos it might require which are also gone, but it's somet…

Looks like someone managed to grab a full copy right before the repo was yanked: https://github.com/dochne/wappalyzer Last commit was 15 hours ago. This was very recent.

I can't type on a chiclet keyboard. I've tried. Until a laptop has a real keyboard again, I've had to stick with my 2011 T520.

Why, oh god why? Imagine if all these soon-to-fail initiatives helped to develop Firefox, an actual alternative to Chrome and Blink-based browsers!

I think The issue with teamspeak and Ventrilo were...cost. Kids couldn't afford hosting a server. Additionally, it was stupid easy to evade bans on those platforms and troll for ho…

I'm working from memory, but AIM at the peak had webcam support and a very rudimentary screen share component. I keep thinking the name of it was "AIM Share", but Googling that doe…

I really think it's just the majority of Discord users being from everything but IRC. Discord servers filled with former/current IRC users rarely have any issues in my experience.

There were potential competitors back when it really didn't matter - the early 00s. Even AIM at its feature peak could do pretty much everything Discord can do now (save for some o…

Funny you say that, Lego Island, a game that required niche DX5 features to run properly and thus notoriously never worked in WINE, is finally getting addressed as of July of last …

Wine has been a wonderful piece of software when it comes to running old 16-bit Windows games and CD-ROMs of the early to mid-nineties. I can run tons of games which will never see…

This is the kind of stuff Wikis (and wiki-likes) were made for. It's so frustrating when trying to find some references and stumble across the answer on random blog posts.

Where do you live that schools are still that close? some schools are up to 15 miles away from students.

Meanwhile, in the real world... As an early Linux user, I still remember running a Windows VM with IE installed, for years, just to do online banking. Heck, at my current corporate…

That's the entire thrill of the "Anarchy servers" twitch streams - to not get caught even if you're famous.

In a just world, this would be illegal. On the bright side, dozens of browser extensions and scripts will have to be created to solve yet another needless problem created by Google…

Still in Smarch.

Speaking of, This would help a lot of awful dark photos sent in to news sources.

Well, Contrast is usually in parlance as extremes. I think he means in context of what else is in the image, not just contrast. For example, you can have a "dark green" and "dark o…

I think we need to draw a line in the sand though and say fast, forced development doesn't work on humans as well as some imply it does. You cannot make the brain "grow faster"; th…

I'm so glad this happened, this may put an end to the many, many bespoke midi implementations I've come across. I participated in a piano competition over a decade ago (I believe i…

Correct, we do have legal US definitions which makes pensions different than DC Plans.

And most never will. The ones left are awful and full of restrictions, and can be taken away at any time for any reason, even if it's illegal in your state.

No unions and privatizing government jobs = no pensions.

Pensions as we know them won't exist in five to ten years.

I do believe we hit a nerve... ;)
