That's what GOG offers. And I'd advise anyone to use GOG over Steam for their principles alone. Every game you purchase through their platform is DRM free and they go to a lot of effort to preserve retro titles that would be difficult to play nowadays without a lot of tinkering. They also put no limitation on how many family members you can share your games with.

I switched to LibreWolf, use uBlock Origin and have modified the web search so it uses noai.duckduckgo.com and appends -ai to every Google search query. I'm rather happy with this setup.

Happy for everyone who enjoys it. For me it's the opposite: AI everywhere sucks the joy out of it and I'm seriously starting to consider a career shift after roughly 10 years of writing code for a living.

Me and my GF had plenty of laughs in the beginning. Now it's become just annoying.

Same for German. It's horrible.

Extrapolating from my experience testing it for coding tasks the result is not reliable even if it was right a couple of times. A risk I'm not willing to take. And I can't say that AI powered chat assistants on web pages have been much help either.

Had the same in LibreWolf under Manjaro Linux. Worked in Chrome.

I've stopped being interested in frontend frameworks after Vue/React but I agree. I find JSX with its mix of JS and HTML rather weird. I prefer Vue's abstractions and the readability of its template syntax. It's also rather easy to add it without a compilation step for some interactivity or app-like behaviour on a web page. More complex applications using a bundler work as well as our company is developing and maintaining a 100k LOC webapp too. In the end I'd prefer it if browser would provide a native API for two-way binding, components or templating and maybe state management as well.

Looks very clean! Kudos for creating it. Switching tabs and navigating on the documentation page freezes the site for a couple of ms though. I'm on Manjaro Linux using LibreWolf v135.

As a personal anecdote I've tried to create Shell scripts for the testing of a public HTTP API that had pretty good documentation and in both cases the requests did not work. In one case it even hallucinated an endpoint.

Looking at the current state of AI models that assist in software engineering I don't have much faith in it being any better, quite the contrary.

I miss the days of pixel art and 90s anime. I just can't appreciate contemporary game art.

Your decryption/encryption secret (key) is stored on the server side only and if a client requests a thumbnail, you can validate the URL value by successfully decrypting it with this secret and probably do a simple HTTP URL validation check of the decrypted value. And you have to encrypt all thumbnail URLs with this secret before passing them to the client.

Another very happy customer. After doing React and Angular 2 for a while I'm very happy with Vue. And it would be really nice to see Weex reach production maturity someday (regarding docs as well). Thanks, Evan!

And how long until the next "modern React" will land? That's what drove me away from React.
