I remember a similar screen, though with the elements beside each other rather than on top of each other because I was on desktop. So yes, Cloudflare’s error messages are actually accurate in that regard.

It reminds me more of the AWS outage last month.

It’s probably not half of the Internet, but the fact that it’s so many very visible sites should be a warning sign to everyone that the Internet is nowadays too reliant on a few points of failure (which can cause other problems, e.g. censorship).

both lemmy.world and lemmy.ca are working for me right now? Maybe they’ve come back up.

likely not either (much) better or worse than any other place where you store your files unencrypted on someone else’s computer?

Not sure what exactly you’re asking.

hmmm I see; could not at least aimbots still be detected on the server side?

Where do you have those numbers from? I’d like to look up my country.

I’m not a gaming dev, but a full-stack web dev; is it not common sense that data needs to be validated on the server side, not client? I don’t really get why client-side “anti-cheat” is a thing, but may be missing something.

because at the time it was impressive and now it’s not

When I read things like this, I struggle to understand the economic logic behind it.

How much money does Microsoft really expect to get from more people using Edge instead of Chrome? I mean, both of them are provided free of charge anyway. Does the control over the default search engine or the advertising technology or something like that really bring them more money than these “rewards” cost?

KDE uses “meta” to refer to the Windows key. Emacs uses “meta” to refer to the Alt key. You are correct that GNOME calls the Windows key “Super”.

This causes some confusion, obviously we Linux users don’t want to call it the Windows key, so the best solution is to call the keys “Super” and “Alt”, those are unambiguous.

Mostly the same as Windows, ie for opening the application launcher menu, as well as for a variety of global shortcuts.

The menu key is a convenient place to put the compose key.

KDE mostly calls it Meta, GNOME calls it “Super”.

and if memory serves, *lazer

You can have a non-infinite loop without a break statement, you just need a return statement in it. Also for(;;) is much faster to write than while(true).

I don’t think there’s much difference. Any standard USB gamepad should work equally fine. I find the Xbox layout more comfortable than the PlayStation one, but this may be different for different people.

everything is fucking videos now

did you know that the more inappropriate the place you put the word “fucking” in is, the more seriously people will take your comments? :D

Reforming the GDPR is in principle a good idea because many of the terms used in it are so vague that it’s completely unclear what it does or doesn’t mean.

Somehow I suspect that improving this isn’t what’s going to happen…

with these things, I always wonder how different I would feel about them if my first language weren’t German and I didn’t understand what was actually being said; as it is, I need to concentrate very much on the subtitles

Pretty sure “flora” and “flower” are related words, yeah.
