Why use a URL shortener when you can use a phishy URL extender?
Keep your security people alert and awake, generate phishing-looking redirecting links
Maybe I should turn my weird arch linux setup into a preconfigured install for folks. :P

“GlassWorm isn't just another supply chain attack. It's using stealth techniques we've never seen before - invisible Unicode characters that make malicious code literally disappear from code editors. Combine that with blockchain-based C2 infra that can't be taken down, Google Calendar as a backup command server, and a full remote access trojan that turns every infected dev into a criminal proxy node.”

Instead of making the best service possible for the lowest cost possible conpanies are making the shittiest product they can get away with while locking users into eternal subscription fees.
@Polychrome I think companies are addicted to extorting customers for access to their products rather than making tools that work well.

The recent AWS outage exposed just how many devices need always-on internet access keep track of scheduled events and it really weirds me out because nearly all of these devices have an on-board clock and scheduling events offline on-device has been a solved problem since like the 70's.
Automatic cat feeders that fail to trigger at the appointed time, smart mattresses with scheduled warm/cold functions that failed to change state, and many other 'smart home' related devices.
What's the point of requiring a remote server to ping a device over the internet at the appointed time when your product already comes with a built-in calendar function as part of its basic hardware and software design?

@lutindiscret Yeah, exactly what I was thinking after my initial search :P

The other part is we don't have any chat apps or concepts of "groups" in Agregore so a new app would need to be made for that
@lutindiscret Yeah I've bookmarked the webxdc dev server to look into for later. Probs not a huge surface to tackle and since it's TS there's likely libraries I can reuse. https://github.com/webxdc/webxdc-dev
@lutindiscret Loading the contents out of the app and wiring it up to the chat interface is a decent chunk of code to support. It'd take less time to reuse something instead of needing to read the spec and file formats from scratch and implement a runner from scratch.
@lutindiscret If there's an electron thingie out there to run webxdc it'd be pretty easy to incorporate.
@ellyxir I'm guessing it's more about liability and checking a box so it's harder to sue rather than safety :P
@akhileshthite Ah kinda like https://www.jackboxgames.com/ ?
I think something where you save the outputs to a hyperdrive would be a compelling use of the p2p stuff. e.g. something like gartic phone: https://garticphone.com/
@ellyxir So far it was pretty straightforward for me since I don't use all that many shell commands. What I'd be really curious to see is whether they can make grep or sed nicer to use :P

every app update now feels like getting mugged in a slightly different alley
@akhileshthite what sort of gameplay did you have in mind?
@hakluke damn maybe I should try this. My monitor cable is also kinda old and freyed a bit
@brandon yeah like an automated thing explainer. I guess if you're going up to 1024 words you might as well just use an existing model and enforce the grammar restrictions on it 😅
@3timeslazy Good insight, ty.
I find I don't really need all the data manipulation stuff and my raw bash config has been serving me well. Likely I won't boot into it but I might use it for exploring APIs/data more.
Monthly fire alarm tests are psychological warfare 🫨
Might give nushell a try.
