tenryuu··on ooooooooo.ooo (9o3o): Browse over 145,000 preserved Flash games
I've talked about Ruffle to a few people over the past couple days, as they haven't heard of it and how it's capabilities are able to bring flash games back to the browser. But my favourite party trick is opening these flash games on my iPhone, a future that Steve Jobs would never have imagined
tenryuu··on Discord’s username change is causing discord
a number of staff already have taken their applicable usernames. the api for username migrations already return correct errors for names being taken even if a user is unauthorised to change theirs yet
tenryuu··on Twitter DM Videos Are Accessible to Unauthenticated Users
You can also just do this with Circle posts, the permalink to the video is always just going to be avaliable, the client/server just prevents unauthorised people from retrieving content that displays that. While it wouldn't be too much to prevent twitter from protecting content, there are far greater security concerns if people are access the intentionally restricted content

tenryuu··on Buttery Smooth “10fps” (2020)
Checked caniuse which led me to resources on bugtracker. Both have closed the tickets with wontfix. Firefox is focusing on AV1, and not budging on this until the patent situation is no longer a barrier. Chrome's reasoning feels like it relies on old data (these tickets are 5-6 years old), additionally citing firefox will not support it, with further reference to similar performance in other codecs (VP9). Because of the patent, there's zero interest in it's adoption, no matter the cost of implementation

webm has an alpha channel. Just waiting on Apple
tenryuu··on Ask HN: When a credit card expires why does the bank not issue a new number?
After reading a number of comments that seem to be like this is the norm, it makes my experience odd because every bank I've been with has cycled my card number with every new card.

once got locked out of my Amazon account for what feels like a year because my security gateway way the 16 digits for a card that expired in 2019, which I had without a doubt already shred

tenryuu··on Tell HN: Discord is permanently locking out users with multiple accounts
With an attitude like that I'm not surprised
tenryuu··on Tell HN: Discord is permanently locking out users with multiple accounts
I haven't used the native token switcher at all, but I've never had an issue running multiple instances of discord on the same machine to login into multiple accounts simultaneously (3 canary instances)
tenryuu··on Assassin’s Creed Liberation delisted, unplayable even to owners starting Sept 1
GFWL tied saves to the account email rather than the unique ID. If you changed the email associated with your LIVE account, the game would look somewhere else for saves. As a teenager, this is how I 'lost' my red faction saves
tenryuu··on Assassin’s Creed Liberation delisted, unplayable even to owners starting Sept 1
Assassins creed games as far back as AC2 on PC had uplay bundled on their game discs. Physical copies don't get around DRM, only distribution
tenryuu··on The Game: A continually-run D&D campaign, since 1982
>"What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate."
tenryuu··on Twitter is adding an edit button
There is a two hour edit window. Deleting comments is what is removed when a reply is made https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/m...
tenryuu··on Ask HN: Does anybody allow websites to “Send Notifications”?
Only for chat sites, nothing else really deserves my attention to send desktop notifications
tenryuu··on I wish Microsoft had been brave enough not to release Windows 11
Is Microsoft making money off hardware upgrades?
tenryuu··on Outdated, vulnerable open source components shipped with Windows 10 and 11
define the average windows user. then how much of the windows market does that exclude
tenryuu··on New Zealand council ends contract with wizard after 23 years of service
If he comes to Melbourne, can we ask him to help stop it from raining every, single, goddamn, day?
tenryuu··on Fosscord is a free open-source discord compatible chat, voice and video platform
on windows, if you change the USERPROFILE variable before running the software, you can operate it from different locations. Instead of using the preset folder in your user's appdata, it can be run from any other folder with entirely different saved data. As application running checks are from the path, you can essentially run multiple instances of the same application simultaneously (at the cost of having a complete second copy of the entire program). It's a pain to setup and maintain though, the software is clearly not designed with this in mind. The other issue is that when calls to open child programs (like clicking links in chat), this program maintains the changed variable, so apps like firefox run in a completely different directory
tenryuu··on Twitch is hacked, and its source code leaked
Amazon still has a passkey requirement, it's not just a touch of the key, and these passwords are different to your user passwords at login.
tenryuu··on Twitch source code and customer data has reportedly been leaked
I was wondering why I didn't see anything, but I keep forgetting I drop all my referrer headers
tenryuu··on Telegram founder says over 70M new users joined during Facebook outage

tenryuu··on Minecraft to add telemetry
For a long period of time, you got a free Windows key for it if you owned a Java license. I do not believe they are continuing this promotion
tenryuu··on QR error correction helps and hinders scanning
Have you deciphered the metadata that is associated with the url? It is odd that we are looking at a paragraph of metadata on a url, however a manual check in is six alphanumeric characters with the Victorian government's system.

We know that none of this data ever changes, these sheets are printed once and are not actively replaced

tenryuu··on Amazon CEO unveils 55k tech jobs in his first hiring push
Familiarise yourself with the STAR recruitment method, alongside amazon's leadership principles. You won't only be judged based on your skills, but how well you seem to suit their work culture.
tenryuu··on Show HN: LANDrop – A cross-platform AirDrop-like file transfer tool
No, it does link to a file in the repo at all. It will change based on the outcome of the workflow name specified in the URL. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/ad...
tenryuu··on Apps supporting account creation must also offer account deletion
To me, even if you don't have an account deletion button. User retention isn't going to matter because the people who are looking for it aren't going to use the service anyway, you are just holding onto dead data
tenryuu··on Video uploads now available across GitHub
take a look at this hack for FFMPEG https://github.com/rdp/screen-capture-recorder-to-video-wind...

sharex only provides a MITM utility for ffmpeg, any issue is likely to come from either GDIGrab, or the linked screen-capture-recorder utilites (which are provided within sharex as an optional download)

tenryuu··on Discord ends deal talks with Microsoft
If you're in a situation where you do not feel safe by the administration team of a server, you probably shouldn't stick around. While I do understand the concern about something like this, if the admin team are people you know and trust, this data is not going to be used against you.

Trust is always important for these things, regardless of the platform. Discord didn't even have my email address for the four first four years I used it

tenryuu··on I made a mobile app for my significant other and she won't use it
An uncommon solution I've seen for this is to instead place 'the" after the rest of the title

"Mummy, The", "Thing, The"
