I still think ICQ was the greatest application name ever.

> A feature known as the Download Monitor plug-in created a webpage with the clear URL which provided a link to the live version, which bypassed the need for authentication. This rendered the protections on the ‘future’ function of WordPress redundant as it bypassed the required authentication needed to gain access to the pre-uploaded document.

WordPress is a nice piece of software, but the plugin situation is getting worse and worse. (Too many pending updates, premium features and constant upselling, selling of plugins to new sketchy owners...)

It feels like we're actually living in the Universal Paperclips universe.

FYI: A couple of the images down in the article are not loading (And later some seem to be incorrectly formatted). I'm especially looking forward to the exploded button.

Yes, the previous company I worked at redirected the Oracle download pages to a custom page explaining the problem and offering alternatives. That was nice.

The german C64 magazine "64er" had an application which allowed "easy" entry of assembly applications by means of a hex encoding and used a checksum on each line to prevent bugs from typos. Still an incredible chore.

Private Slack, WhatsApp and Signal groups are the most valuable to me.

I'm still running a self-hosted Fever instance, it still didn't break down with newer PHP versions.

Using Reeder Classic as an RSS client. Also something threatened by unwanted updates.

My best Mullholland Drive experience: A couple of years ago a local arthouse cinema showed the movie again. It was brilliant, just like I remembered it.

After the showing, the projectionist came into the room and apologized for the confusing movie: "I must have mixed up the reels..."

She didn't.

For non-americans: Apparently this corresponds to 13-14 years old.

I came from Instapaper after their price hike to Omnivore and went back to Instapaper. I felt that Omnivore was over-complicated with their "every folder is a filter" structure. Instapaper feels much more straightforward.
