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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
