Also shoutout to DPaint.js, which runs in the Browser: https://github.com/steffest/DPaint-js/

(Though I will say that Aseprite has taken over as my preferred Pixel Art editor.)

Depends on how much of the stock is actually available to purchase. If the owners of the company keep 51% (or 50% + 1 share? Whatever it is), then no.

They do have a "Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement" setting that's enabled by default. Just like Firefox, you can opt out of it, but it is opt-out - so same deal as with Firefox. Apple may be a lot better than others, but they're still doing tracking.

Our Browser options are currently all tied to one of the big AdTech companies:

* Safari is owned by Apple

* Edge is owned by Microsoft

* Chrome is owned by Google

* Firefox is partnered with Facebook/Meta

I guess technically there's Opera (owned by Chinese company Kunlun) and Brave (known for inserting affiliate links into stuff), which aren't any better.

In the future there might be Ladybird (where we'll have to see if Shopify wants something in return for their >=$100,000 investment), though that's pretty far off.

I know that maintaining a browser is a massive amount of work, but man, things are bleak. I guess that an OSS fork like Librewolf or Chromium is the best option these days.

That would be great, because the RA1/C&C1 remaster collection has been great, so I hope the other games get the same treatment.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an Open Source 2FA OTP app? That's the only thing I use Authy for, to scan the QR Codes into the App and generate the 2FA tokens, but in a way that allows me to migrate to another phone without having to re-set all the 2FA tokens on the vendor side.

Same, that was also my lesson that RAID is an availability mechanism, not a data safety/backup one. (Of course, Ransomware would also hammer that point home for many later on)

Big Endian is also called Network Order because some networking protocols use it. And of course, UTF-16 BE is a thing.

There is a non-trivial chance that you will have to deal with BE data regardless if your machine is LE or BE.

ESPN's 30-for-30 episode "Broke" is a great watch. It does seem though that newer generation athletes are a bit better educated in that matter since they're better connected online, but that might just be anecdotal.

No, Luau is a new programming language that's based on Lua.
