Agreed. It’s really shit for new code, but if I’m writing glue code stuff or repetitive code it saves a lot of time spent on typing.

Introducing a Captcha on a form on my website basically blocked bots 100% of the time. It’s arguably good enough from a practical standpoint.

If someone really wants to exploit my site, then they will find a way. You can only make it harder but never truly impossible if you don’t want to dispose of all convenience.

I feel you. There should have been an option to avoid those fights for the non lethal players.

Unfortunately I can’t help you with Nobara, but I’m surprised you’re having troubles with EndeavourOS.

EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.

I’d have recommended it as well.

Popular stuff is usually available in most languages.

Well, you can only win against big corpo if you shoot them with their own guns.

Or literal guns.

Thanks for explaining. I was not arguing the point that closures happen, just expanding on why it’s not easy for the studios to get back on their feet again as independents.

There will likely be non-disclosure agreements, non-competes or simply IP rights to take into consideration if we want to argue why these studios can’t continue their work. In the end it comes down to legal stuff and money. The IP rights even for unreleased products very likely are with the parent corporation. The same goes for the codebase.

So yeah. The studios are left with nothing, except a severance pay if they’re lucky.

Why even engage if you’re not interested in discussion?

Misrepresenting what I’m saying is not nice of you.

If the studios had the resources they could easily become independent. But the corporate side owns the rights to their works, so the now independent studio doesn’t have any incoming revenue.

The average employee won’t work for scraps or nothing. So it’s effectively over if big corpo cuts them off.

Thanks for the response. Seems like I can’t assume other CS degrees are comparable.

We definitely have a strong focus on security in my degree, but I still believe that awareness of what you’re running on your machine and potential dangers of those programs fall into the category of common sense. Mishandling secrets, having bad authentication or not knowing how to setup SSL is definitely experience stuff though.

Neither young or naive. Just assuming others share my experience.

Makes sense, I feel bad for the guys that were happy for a chance and got screwed over. (By the hackers, not you, haha)

That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.

I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.

While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.

If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.

Edit: Seems like my take is the bad one 😂

It’s sad that this works. You’d think especially software professionals would be the most vigilant about running unknown code.

The group I referenced had a paid membership. Scale that up and make it digital and you may end up with a gender exclusive social media app.

I get what you mean though, but I feel there’s a bit more nuance than what you imply.

While I certainly agree with you that discrimination based on sex is unacceptable im most contexts, I believe that gender exclusive spaces, unless they hinder people directly, sometimes are a good thing.

My dad is a mental health professional and founded a weekly ‘only-men’ self help group. He found that some things they talked about there wouldn’t have worked with women involved. That group existed for about 5 years or so and helped quite a few struggling men.

So yeah, unless there’s any maliciousness involved, I’d argue that gender exclusiity is not bad in every context.

Now your weapons break in just one swing! 😂

Why anyone would spend 1500 dollars and 300 hours on a parody is beyond me but it’s impressive work nonetheless for a solo dev.

The gameplay was fun to watch, but mostly just because the characters steps sounded like their shoes were sticky after they stepped into some spilled cola or zombie guts or whatever.
