SnuffBox··on Newgrounds: Flash Forward 2025
It's probably because of referrers, opened it in an incognito window and it worked just fine.
SnuffBox··on Medical cannabis patient data exposed by unsecured database
Insani-tea, if you will?
SnuffBox··on Ask HN: Why does the US Visa application website do a port-scan of my network?
I wish gov.uk was even a smidgen as "outdated" looking as that page.
SnuffBox··on Ask HN: Why does the US Visa application website do a port-scan of my network?
It's also inaccurate, as this style of page (relating to layout and specific graphic style) didn't appear until 2006ish.

>like something from the 90s

It looks useful and looks good, there's minimal unneeded whitespace and I'm glad it looks as it does. We'd be better off if the entire web switched to a style like this.

It's a shame how there are so many developers detached from reality now; the amount of people perfectly fine with acting like squabbling children is exhausting for anybody with more than a passing interest in open source software.

I know there have always been people detached from reality but it seems that there are more now than ever before, like this brand of online insanity is a more recent phenomenon.

Ah, one of these again. At the end of the day it comes down to:

1. No average Windows user would ever switch to Linux even if it looks similar

2. No Linux user would put themselves through a simulated Windows experience

SnuffBox··on Tiny, removable "mini SSD" could eventually be a big deal for gaming handhelds
What if it can offer better transfer speeds? A system that downloads large files often would presumably be bottlenecked by a MicroSD's write speeds.
SnuffBox··on Books will soon be obsolete in school
> I would put the AI in juvenile hall to teach the violent kids. It will be a dystopian environment but they earned it and can earn their way out of it.

I feel that this would only further embitter the violent children and would cause more problems than it would theoretically solve.

SnuffBox··on Microsoft keeps adding stuff into Windows we don't need
I still use Windows 2k machines for Photoshop and other old Adobe tools that didn't have much in the way of DRM. It's an operating system that respects the user, it doesn't act as a babysitter.
