Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals
  • hackmud $19.99 $14.99 (25% off)

    If you're into scripting or hacking you should check this game out. It's an interesting twist on the Multi-User Dungeon genre. The game presents mostly as a command-line interface where your goal is to seek out targets to pwn for money/points. NPC targets will have vulnerabilities you need to find and exploit in order to expose a hackable part. Once found you engage hackermode where you'll have a timelimit to break the target's security (mostly through bruteforce cracking). The game allows you to write short scripts in JavaScript to automate searching for vulnerabilities and cracking security.

    Being Multi-User, there are other users online doing what you're doing and you're free to chat with them and exchange scripts. You're also free to write malicious scripts that will steal money/points from others who don't check scripts before running them!

    The part I found cool was that the game mirrors IRL hacking much closer than other hacking games. You'll often need to submit incorrect data to NPC targets to get an error message that will contain hints about where to go next. Ex. A webpage has "News" and "About Us" sections. You can request a section that doesn't exist to get an error message that shows all acceptable sections: "News", "About Us", or "Employees". You've found a hidden section! Using scripts to send a bunch of mal-formed data at a target and then analyzing which ones generate an exploitable error is part of real-life security testing.

  • Most Americans have no idea how anti-worker the US supreme court has become
  • You say "tax the rich" and they think you mean them because they made $100k last year. Nah you're good! You could make 10x that and you'd still be good. I was talking about the people who make 450,000x that amount in a year.

  • Konami producer says it would be ‘the dream’ for Kojima to return to Metal Gear
  • The producer said he was speaking only for himself personally and not for the company, so my guess is that he personally liked Kojima and wasn't involved in kicking him out. The Konami CEO and executives probably don't share the same dream as this producer.

  • PSA: Like tracking pixels, these users are transparent.
  • I get what you're saying, but the Reform Party was a far-right Christian nationalist party that was against gay marriage, any immigration that would alter the "ethnic makeup" of Canada, and had a problem of attracting openly racist supporters. Not the greatest example of a small party seeing a surge in support!

  • Steam Deal: Disco Elysium The final cut [90% off - 3,99€ historic low]
  • They do. The original Estonian novelists and philosophers who worked on the game as an art project had the rights to it stolen out from under them by greedy businessmen after the project ended up becoming a huge hit.

  • Supreme Court tosses out claim Biden administration coerced social media companies to remove content
  • do you seriously think this is and will always be about actual misinformation, and not pro-palestine speech and similar things?

    No. That's why the Supreme Court exists. If it wasn't about actual misinformation and just removing speech the administration didn't like then the Supreme Court could reverse the action. This is literally how the government is supposed to work.

  • Why do some Americans get angry at other people for not speaking English?
  • It's called xenophobia, the fear and dislike of anything foreign. Some people believe that if your group isn't dominant it will be dominated, and peaceful coexistence isn't possible between different groups.

    These people are afraid that, if the English language isn't forced onto other people, one day other people will force a foreign language onto them.

  • Ticketmaster breach, beaches in general
  • Either that, or every company has woefully underpaid/incompetent IT people

    It's this one. Cox Communications, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the US with $11 billion in revenue, recently patched a bug on their self-serve portal that allowed anyone to access any customer's profile. The bug was that server requests weren't being authenticated. If you entered the right info into the URL bar you'd be given a page with anyone's customer info. No login needed.

  • Missing Posts and Comments - Lemmy Issue?

    I've recently started using the Boost for Lemmy app on my phone and it's amazing. I was using Liftoff before but I'm switching over. However, I've noticed an issue. When I browse through communities using Liftoff I see a lot more posts and comments than when I use Boost.

    I figured this was an issue with Boost at first, but when I used my computer to edit these screenshots I noticed the same thing happens in my browser!

    Opening up https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy I see all the posts that Liftoff shows. Of course I'm not logged in since my account is on Lemmy.ca.

    When I log into Lemmy.ca and view the community though: https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] I only see the posts that Boost shows! Many posts are now missing!

    I figured this is an issue with Lemmy.ca blocking stuff. But wait! The most recent post (titled "Bug: Hiding all read posts also hides...") has the URL https://lemmy.world/post/6954944 which, of course, does not allow me to comment on since I'm not logged in. If I search for that post through Lemmy.ca I find the equivalent post with the URL: https://lemmy.ca/post/7377534 which now allows me to comment on it through my Lemmy.ca account.

    Does any one know what's going on here? Clearly Lemmy.ca can "see" all the posts in the BoostForLemmy community on Lemmy.world. Even Liftoff manages to show all of them! So why does my browser and Boost for Lemmy not show everything unless I specifically search it out?

    I made this a while back to use as a background for my phone. What do you think?
