It does often feel like as soon as a significant hurdle is overcome, the industry just makes another one.

Hopefully SteamOS/Steam on Linux gets enough traction to force publishers to reconsider.

It would be six days at max, assuming they managed to steal the certificate immediately after it was issued, otherwise it’s gonna be even less.

Having the certificate doesn’t automatically mean you can change the site, if you have control of the site hosting you likely wouldn’t need to steal the cert anyway.

Stealing the certificate would allow you to run a man in the middle type attack but that’s inevitably going to be very limited in scope. The shorter time limit on the cert reduces that scope even further, which is great.

Since most Let’s Encrypt certs will have an automated renewal process this doesn’t even really change the overhead of setup so I think this move makes a lot of sense.

There are other things certificates can be used for as well of course but I’m just going off your example.

Why is your comment so adversarial when previous commenter literally said they weren’t sure?

That’s not the same as dismissing women’s accounts so please don’t equate them

The problem with that approach is that the authentic disc is effectively used as your licence at the moment. There wouldn’t be any effective way to stop piracy with offline zip files

back in the 360/Wii days you could often download and install updates from a disc or USB stick since they still had to be digitally signed anyway.

Not an ideal solution but still no reason why we couldn’t still do that to have offline copies of updates for preservation

btw

There’s really a lot of good value devices out there once you get past the barely functional underpowered cheapo range.

Also though… you spent $250 on a phone just while waiting for your main phone to be repaired?

Yeah same, I remember initially feeling the Outlook integration was extremely clunky, for example, but there’s a big simplicity to being able to grab a recurring meeting link and then just attach it to any meeting regardless of whether it’s rescheduled or has an unusual pattern.

Teams is much more annoying in this regard since it pretty much requires calendar integration for the meeting to work. Trying to set up any new meeting regenerates the meeting link, and it’s maddening. Like just let these two things not be connected if I want.

C# Devkit will do in a pinch but it’s still second class in VS Code compared to languages like TypeScript.

Since MS killed off MonoDevelop and Visual Studio is Windows only, it’ll be good to finally have a free proper C# IDE again on Linux.

Your link 404s for me

That’s not what I was saying, I meant instead of the French they did say

I think the comment is about the last panel being a shocked pikachu type face.

The companies are not shocked that you no longer visit their page, that’s their intention. “Generate revenue for us or leave”

P.S. genuine lol at hasta not luego, shouldn’t it also be “aurevoir pas” or “aurevoir never” since that also essentially means see you again.

I think it’s a combination of:

The style of the curb and pavement.

The warning signs on the fence.

The telegraph pole.

It’s an English speaking place

The sky is grey

D+ dropped support for my tablet since the Android version is too old, but I just ran Firefox in desktop mode and that worked. I don’t know whether it made a difference that it’s a tablet vs phone though

It’s a contrived example because you wouldn’t ask “what time is it there?” in a world where everywhere uses the same timezone

I called this out after my first trip to the US, and then I came back to the UK just in time for the coronation weekend. Hahaha we definitely outdid them a bit in terms of flags which shut me right up. Especially working for an American employer for some reason, we went all out with a work do in the UK, union flags galore.

The difference is all our flags went away again straight after the coronation.

I like to think that he knows

Companies really don’t put much effort into making these readable or accessible.

Many websites I’ve used it’s even a broken link, there’s nothing to read but I’m expected to agree anyway.

The terms are usually extremely long and repetitive, they’re not designed to be actually read by people.

In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

The joke still works anyway because the life at the bottom of the ocean would be ignorant of that
