busy eating waffles brb
47% of the total playing time on Steam was spent on games released in the last one to seven years, while a sizeable 37% of time was spent in games that have been out for eight years or more.
Also with all the recent Concord-style live service fails maybe investors will want to fund other stuff from now on? idk
Damn already working on an app? That’s so cool! Starting E2EE there is definitely a good idea then!
MeroChat is such a nice project, thank you for working on it <3
The server might always send a modified script that just uploads the plaintext private key.
Yeah, you’d need a way to validate the client code before it’s executed to solve that issue
Section “2. Client application security” of MEGA’s Security Whitepaper discusses this exact problem. Their best solution to that issue is to just cram the whole frontend in a signed web extension and not serve any code to the user when the extension is active, which is not very user friendly but works for those who want an extra layer of protection
I just can’t find a good user-friendly implementation, sorry for not being of more help. The web just isn’t E2EE-friendly ig :/
Yeah, I’m not used to E2EE in the browser either and StackExchange seems to agree that there’s no nice solution :/
The sanest option in terms of user practicality to me appears to be storing the private key on the server, maybe encrypted with the user’s password, and sending it to the user on successful login where it would be decrypted client side. It seems like it’s more or less what MEGA is doing since they have a similar issue
If the server having temporary access to the user’s password is an issue maybe the password could be partially pre-hashed before being sent?
It’s be interesting to talk about it with someone with more experience, especially since implementing all of that will be a pain so it can’t be redone every Thursday
I know Matrix has E2EE with some public documentation on its implementation. Maybe it could help you? Idk how familiar you’re with E2EE or what kind of implementation you’d want, anything will have drawbacks :/
Nothing forbids sharing US news in this community. Anything interesting on the globe goes afaik :)
Also while many countries don’t have inequality issues in the “highly privatised health care” industry, I genuinely can’t name a single country without inequality issues and Luigi’s story may be inspirational to some of these ppl facing inequalities so imo it’s good to see it shared here!
Damn, that’s sad. Since I already have tons of games I want to play I’ll probably never end up getting it then. Thanks for telling me :/
No worries! I’ve just realized you were asking for games on sale (reading is hard ugh…) so hopefully the ones you want will be discounted mb ^^’
Great games that came out in 2024:
2024 games that I haven’t tried yet but seem promising:
All are in no particular order. Dunno if you’ll like those but these ones come to mind :)
I’m sorry what the hell did you call me??
The encrypted files are very suspicious and, in the new canary, they removed the part that stated they didn’t receive a gag order: https://web.archive.org/web/20240405132835/https://cock.li/transparency/warrant-canary.txt
It’s possible that it’s Vincent’s way of warning the users of a gag order. He may be an insufferable edgy little twat but he cares a lot about transparency and, had he received a gag order, he would definitely try to communicate it
Maybe I’m just being paranoid, you tell me
Yes! uYouPlus is amazing although it can be a pain to install because of Apple’s shenanigans. It’s a collection of patches over the official YouTube app
32-bit Windows programs can run on 64-bit Windows just fine thanks to WoW64 (with probably very few exceptions)
I see, thanks! Also your cat pics are adorable, thank you for blessing us with them <3
Dumb question: How do you differentiate between these two? I’ve been staring at this picture for a while but I can’t find any obvious differences between Weenie and Leonard
These poor souls stayed on the Gopher protocol… Their families never saw them again :(
That’d be my take as well: imo this anon is taking part of a truth and turning it into an extreme. But I’m curious as to what other people think about this :)
Sorry to butt in but why is my fellow waffle’s demand not possible? :(
NSFW is how you tag stuff that you don’t want your colleagues to see on your screen at work: it’s not just for porn!
Included pic of rubber duck of peace as proof of goodwill:

That’s the part of the comment I was referring to. It’s factually wrong: only ~15% of playtime is spent on 2024 games
LoL didn’t release in 2024, neither did Warframe. I’m not arguing that old service games don’t make the most revenue, they obviously do, I’m arguing that a lot of the live service games that are actively comming out are almost all underperforming and failing to get any kind of audience. All that means there’s very little incentive to develop a new live service game unless you already have a big community for it or a brilliant idea
If you have a lot of money, you’re better off investing in a “Black Myth Wukong” or “Elden Ring” – both of which are outperforming the newest Call of Duty on Steam in revenue – compared to a new random live service game
