I've talked about Ruffle to a few people over the past couple days, as they haven't heard of it and how it's capabilities are able to bring flash games back to the browser. But my favourite party trick is opening these flash games on my iPhone, a future that Steve Jobs would never have imagined


He didn’t need to imagine it; he saw Adobe’s demos and decided he didn’t like it


ruffle is such a cool project - and one of the early successes of WebAssembly as a platform for the web


a number of staff already have taken their applicable usernames. the api for username migrations already return correct errors for names being taken even if a user is unauthorised to change theirs yet


You can also just do this with Circle posts, the permalink to the video is always just going to be avaliable, the client/server just prevents unauthorised people from retrieving content that displays that. While it wouldn't be too much to prevent twitter from protecting content, there are far greater security concerns if people are access the intentionally restricted content



Well there it is. Definitely wasn't available from EB within the first 12 months of launch though. I know because I wanted one.


Took two whole years to arrive according to PCGAMER, appearing online for preorder in June last year


webm has an alpha channel. Just waiting on Apple


H265 also already has support for alpha channel, so no need to wait.


Then you should wait for Google and Mozilla. It's much harder (impossible) due to patent situation.


Checked caniuse which led me to resources on bugtracker. Both have closed the tickets with wontfix. Firefox is focusing on AV1, and not budging on this until the patent situation is no longer a barrier. Chrome's reasoning feels like it relies on old data (these tickets are 5-6 years old), additionally citing firefox will not support it, with further reference to similar performance in other codecs (VP9). Because of the patent, there's zero interest in it's adoption, no matter the cost of implementation


After reading a number of comments that seem to be like this is the norm, it makes my experience odd because every bank I've been with has cycled my card number with every new card.

once got locked out of my Amazon account for what feels like a year because my security gateway way the 16 digits for a card that expired in 2019, which I had without a doubt already shred


With an attitude like that I'm not surprised


I haven't used the native token switcher at all, but I've never had an issue running multiple instances of discord on the same machine to login into multiple accounts simultaneously (3 canary instances)


GFWL tied saves to the account email rather than the unique ID. If you changed the email associated with your LIVE account, the game would look somewhere else for saves. As a teenager, this is how I 'lost' my red faction saves


Assassins creed games as far back as AC2 on PC had uplay bundled on their game discs. Physical copies don't get around DRM, only distribution
