The only times I've ever run into stuff not working were:

  1. The GrapheneOS installer bc it uses web USB
  2. Sites that decide Firefox isn't good enough (glares at Pearson), though I just use a user agent switcher and suddenly the site works

I want to think that they were gonna name it something like "skate!", but then it was really shitty or something, so someone sneakily renamed it "skate." at the last second

I think it's supposed to be use after free, but it isn't clear because none of the others use that layout

For those who don't know: "use after free" is a programming term that means you tried to use something that was stored in a certain place in memory after that thing was already freed (removed from that space in the memory). As a result, you get unexpected behavior. This can be exploited to allow an attacker to get a program to run anything they want.

I believe the meme refers to websites giving that popup when they detect an ad blocker

Realistically, I don't expect anything else under capitalism, but I still wish it was more prominent.

I really like seeing foss passion projects made by one or two people because they tend to have passion behind them, and they're made for something other than profit.

Fuck capitalism and fuck what it did (and does) to every art form.

I hate how programming has essentially been watered down into "getting results fast" for a lot of people (or, rather, corporations have convinced people to think of it that way)

I want to see more people put passion into their code, rather than just slapping stuff together.

I can rotate an apple in my head, but normally it doesn't stop rotating
