Perhaps the zooming presentation was, but the mechanical inspiration was a different jam game, Sokosoko.

Bleem successfully defended their commercial PlayStation emulator against a lawsuit from Sony, setting a solid precedent in US law even though the legal costs ended the company.

AV vendors have points of contact to report false positives. They don't always respond quickly, but they're not brick walls. Reliable FPs from a specific toolchain seems like something their team would be especially interested in solving. CrowdStrike's reporting point is an email address on their contact page: https://www.crowdstrike.com/contact-us/

There are a couple arguments against case-insensitive filesystems I think are strong. The first is simply compatibility with existing case-sensitive systems. The second is that case is locale-dependent, so a pair of names could be equivalent or not depending on the device's locale.

I don't think I've seen any good argument against normalization, though.

Let's hear what the father of the web had to say about web 3.0.

> People keep asking what Web 3.0 is. I think maybe when you've got an overlay of scalable vector graphics – everything rippling and folding and looking misty – on Web 2.0 and access to a semantic Web integrated across a huge space of data, you'll have access to an unbelievable data resource… — Tim Berners-Lee, 2006

That's funny, he didn't mention blockchains once.

Not the worst place to start, but considering palm oil has been used in cooking for thousands of years it's not clear what that principle has to do with this story.

Please understand that blanks are live rounds and can be deadly if handled without care. Saying it was a live round does not mean it was a bullet. From the article:

> A source close to the union said Local 44 does not know what projectile was in the gun and clarified that “live” is an industry term that refers to a gun loaded with some material such as a blank ready for filming.

You're probably thinking of "Personal Blocklist", an official Chrome extension developed by Google. It's no longer available.

Crusader was built on the engine written for Ultima 8, which is supported as part of the ScummVM project's expansion into CRPGs.

MacVenture support has been tinkered with over a couple of GSoC terms. It's not ready but there's interest and a foundation to build on: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=MacVenture

You may have played it on ResidualVM, a project that has now been merged into ScummVM.

Commerical PICO-8 games are a minority but they exist. PICO-8 can export a standalone Windows, Linux or Mac executable, or a web page. The license explicitly grants the right for authors to sell exported games.

Mastodon uses an HTML microformat called h-feed for federation of user feeds. h-feed is based on hAtom, which is a microformat encoding of the Atom feed format. So your idea isn't all that far off from how the most popular federated social network system is designed (though there's more to it).

> I could imagine an extension that's modal and allows its own plugins to be written in JS and then loaded. This doesn't seem at all to be a fundamental limitation, just "Vimium et al aren't designed this way."

Currently yes. When Chrome eventually mandates Manifest V3 extensions, they will no longer be able to run code not contained in the signed extension package.

Did those chat programs encrypt messages end-to-end while syncing message history across devices?
