Murder causes people to use internet explorer 😞

The main thrust of it was oversaturation. A whole bunch of companies put a whole bunch of money into video games at once, but the demand wasn’t there, so only a few titles and/or consoles could become hits and the rest were just huge wastes of money. It ended up snowballing and iirc the market receded by circa 95%, resulting in a lot of bankruptcies. Stores either returned surplus, or marked it down considerably, which meant little or no revenue for companies that made the products, and so of course they died. That includes US games, Atari, lots of other famous brands.

The video game market crashed hard from 1983 to 1985 and never really recovered.

Oh, I didn’t think about the fact that they’re a CA. That’s a good point; thanks for the info.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what “behind cloudflare” means in this context, but I have a couple of my sites proxied through cloudflare, and they definitely don’t have my keys.

I wouldn’t think using a cloudflare captcha would require such a thing either.

Is there a reason other than avoiding infrastructure centralization not to put a web server behind cloudflare?

In response to your edit.

Yes, or countries could use their cctld, e.g. email@us or noreply@uk.

Or any tld owner could do the same with theirs, of course.

I guess I’ll forgive the misuse of “POV” for the relatively high effort joke. Lol.

A couple decades at least, if things go extremely poorly for them and keep on doing that.

If it’s guaranteed to not be None, why is it an Option?

Haha! I had the same thought.

I’m a software engineer, and I don’t even know what a v&v engineer is.

Ah, thanks.

Dude, relax. There’s no need to feel threatened by people enjoying themselves.

I don’t have any users, just readers, and all seven of them use cli browsers to read it, lol. If I actually gave a shit about people I see less-than-weekly reading my stuff, I’d obviously not have it set up like I do.

To be clear, this is just one of my websites.

To balance it out, I made it so that my web pages fail to load if JavaScript is turned on. Yes, really.

Okay, I guess technically it shows a message that says “Turn off JS, dummy!”, but it’s the same in spirit.

Shift + tab?

There’s nothing wrong with manually breaking a loop.

Yeah… well, you know.

Depending on what I’m doing, sometimes rust will annoy me just as much. Often I’m doing something I know is definitely right, but I have to go through so much ceremony to get it to work in rust. The most commonly annoying example I can think of is trying to mutably borrow two distinct fields of a struct at the same time. You can’t do it. It’s the worst.
