how else is a web based update app for a usb device supposed to work?!

It’s not! It’s a thing nobody in their right mind should want to do in the first place!

That question is like asking “how else is a shotgun-based dental pick supposed to work?” The things just don’t go together and you shouldn’t try to force them to!

Also, we already had an appropriate technology for this sort of thing (having a cheaply-made app that runs everywhere and doesn’t have to be pretty): it’s called “plain old fuckin’ Java.”

WebUSB is absurd and shouldn’t exist. Web apps should not ever be able to work with USB devices! The core concept is wrong!

A website shouldn’t even be allowed to know if I have a USB port at all, let alone anything else about my hardware. I’m not even convinced it should be allowed to know the viewport size of the browser window! All these APIs just make the attack surface fucking gargantuan and open up infinite opportunities for browser fingerprinting. They should be Considered Harmful and abolished.

It’s also bad because why the fuck should a web browser have that much access to the hardware to begin with?!

Newsweek has not verified the address and is not publishing or linking to it.

The oppressor class has solidarity.

Not all of us just use our computers as a hobby, I don’t have the time to figure out Linux and make things run in wine or proton, and fixing things that break from updating that software is annoying.

That’s funny, not having time to deal with shit (like stopping Windows from spying, serving ads, and otherwise abusing me) is exactly why I use Linux.

Unlike Windows, Linux ‘just works.’

SteamOS isn’t magic, you know. Other distros already work just fine right now.

Just wanted to check…

I guess nitter.app is a separate entity from nitter.net?

Nitter is still a thing, yes?

It got cease-and-desisted literally two days ago.

That’s not a mirror; that’s just a second article also hotlinking to it on the nazi platform. I’m asking to know where it’s available actually somewhere else before Musk memory-holes it.

Anybody got a mirror?

So Minnesota sent its own law enforcement/bounty hunters/posse to recapture him and take him back to Minnesota, right?

I’m sad that the mod of that community seems to have given up on posting content to popularize it.

I LOL’d at “loafpocalypse”

I don’t remember Dolly Parton being in Home Alone 2, though.

Honestly, I’m not surprised at all that a good ol’ boy farmer from Georgia would have a nickname like that. Dude even looks like I imagined he would.

Uncanny, ain’t it?

IMO Iranian fucking us up would’ve entailed them sinking a carrier. Running away because of malfunctions and logistics failures is us fucking ourselves up, and is even more pathetic and embarrassing.

The Costco $1.50 hot dog is gourmet!

Or at least it was, until they stopped giving out sauerkraut and brown mustard <grumble, grumble>

But seriously though, Costco hot dogs are objectively excellent, regardless of price.

Yes, we’ll survive. Except for all those who don’t (millions so far, between COVID, ending of USAID, ICE, attacks on Venezuela and Iran, etc.).
