Is this just an idea at this point, or some kind of "you have to use our DNS to resolve .self domains" scheme - ?

OTOH, this tool describes me as a "security researcher known for talks and writing on JavaScript, Node.js, and web security."

I am not a security researcher and have never given any such talk and know precious little about Node.js or web security.

Bill Joy (creator of vi) once said that if he sits down on a foreign system, he reaches for ed [1].

To be fair, both emacs and vi have "magic exit incantations", though if you have emacs perhaps you have a menu in GUI mode. If not, C-x C-c is really not any more memorable than :wq! The vi one at least has an obvious mnemonic ("write quit") but either way, you need to know an arbitrary sequence of keystrokes.

The title is "nulled WHMCS" and it's a full copy of that software with copy protection removed. It couldn't be more cut and dried.

The repo is still there 2+ years later and GitHub has taken no action.

If GitHub can't respond to tickets pointing out obvious pirated software, I don't think they care about anything anyone puts up.

The Quest 3S has color passthrough and it's hardly an Apple-level device, and it's $349 in comparison.

I guess as a gamer, I don't care that much. I put on my headset to game, and if I need to step away for a moment, I'm more likely to take it off than to wander around my house with a headset on. Still, I thought color passthrough was now table stakes for a headset.

If you like soccer, perhaps you'd like to try our faster, more kinetic version, called hockey. It's the same sport (goals and such), and you get to watch it in air-conditioned comfort.

Or if you still like the "players are fragile" model of soccer but want more goals, we also have basketball. It's the same sport, and you get to watch it in air-conditioned comfort.

Or we have two other sports that are totally different.

Football and hockey require a serious gear/facility commitment, but baseball and basketball don't, so there's something for everyone.

And they've done it before.

Remember the whole "when threatened, the model would use an engineer's email to blackmail him about his affair" nonsense? That was just fan fiction. They simply created a scenario with some facts and asked their model to continue the story. Go ask Claude about ways to steal the British crown jewels and it'll give you some ideas. This does not mean their models are so dangerous that the Tower of London needs additional security.

I assume all their other scare tactics are more of the same.

Cutting someone’s brake line has to be one of the least reliable ways to injure or kill them. If you cut my brake line, you might bust up my garage door or my neighbor’s yard, but they’re not going to fail on cue as I go around a mountain curve…(dramatic music)

I hike in Oregon and I've seen bodycams becoming increasingly common. I don't think that's a bad thing.
