Another user said this, but I'm going to echo it -- Firefox opened up the LLM chat sidebar one time. I closed it. It's stayed closed. It hasn't asked me to open it again. I don't understand the hatred for something you can just _not use_. People will use it if they want to. Firefox also has a very tiny market share in comparison to other browsers.

You say that but I work in fintech (granted, one of the larger more corporate ones, after an acquisition) and we are heavily regulated, and audited.

Is there some specific reason to use Chrome v80?

dear lord. This is not new. ld_preload to do things like this existed even back when I was doing Cyber Defense Competitions at Iowa State back in '07

Sure, but why not HN of all places? Things get re-posted here all the time when they are relevant again. I'm not new by any means but I didn't know this.

Friel, It's no surprise to see you here posting this. This is so cool to see, thank you for preserving this. A fitting tribute.

I had a professor who is responsible for a lot of the more "modern" MUMPS stuff (lets be real, MUMPS is OLD!). Guy was pretty unbearable too.

Truly seems that way currently. He said he'd really dig in starting next week and just checked his email on vacation and saw this whole mess.

Hey Mitchell,

Best of luck in the future! I'm a nobody - but I was around in the packer days and wrote a post-processor and terraform provider for our vsphere back in the day. I don't think I'd be where I am now without those experiences. Thanks!

I can't imagine it wouldn't be easier to build something like early FaceBook today. There was no GCP / AWS / Azure / whatever back then. We were still racking servers, and we liked it.

As someone who works in banking - We don't show anything other than login and enrollment (and maybe a link for account opening, if the FI has it). Apple has yet to complain.

I fail to see how this is related at all to laravel.

Bro stop spamming your stuff on HN and figure out how to use fucking padding. All of our posts are slammed left and it looks like there's CSS missing.

This really seems like spam. None of these apps are real and your "product" is kind of sad really.

The university I went to still had a modem bank around 2007. Pretty wild.

I say this as a former android dev, whose app was #1 in paid A/V apps back when Flash was still a thing... Couldn't convince me to use and android device these days.

A) use a dang ad blocker. It's 2021.

B) I loaded the page without an adblocker and didn't see anything phish-y or inappropriate.
