But in there the virus and Megaman was part of the same software system/universe. What I'm arguing is that it would have been possible to set up 2 separate systems/universes, one is the one where Megaman is plugged, and the other one is one that has read/write access to all inputs/outputs of the first, without the first being able to detect that in any way.

So.. Megaman would be sent to the first and see no problem (or worse, see enemies that aren't real to keep him distracted) while the other alternate OS would have no Megaman in it, but still it would be able to analyze all Megaman is doing in the first system/universe (sort of like in Matrix), and possibly even transmit/translate his actions in a modified way so that it serves a different purpose.

But it's not something the plugged OS can do anything about, because the malware is not running on it. It's an attack that uses hardware, you can't use antivirus against that, you'd need a person to physically manipulate the circuitry in the keyboard/monitor or whatever peripheral that is being manipulated.

Wouldn't it be kind of insecure to be plugging your private data into public places?

In theory, the publicly available terminals could very well have their own system under the hood, wired into the hardware, just so they can run some keylogging or recording of everything that goes through the peripherals, including the screen, without the plugged OS being able to know, right?

The bad guys in those shows/games could have hijacked the terminals so they can take remote control of the inputs when an OS is inserted and wreak havoc. Dr. Wily could have messed with some terminals so that when Megaman saves its progress on them parts of his brain are saved with different data, so when it's restored you'll get a different/evil Megaman.

Do you use it on Linux? I recently got a Vader 4, it works wireless on xbox mode (using the xpad linux module), but I was hopping to make use of the gyro (hopefully without losing the analog triggers), and it seems that the dinput mode (which does allow some gyro action + analog triggers and working extra buttons) does not really work with the wireless dongle for me (it works if I plug it via cable, but that's also not optimal since it disconnects mid play sometimes for some reason).

Bluetooth works great in Android for me though... once the devices have been paired, they connect the moment they are available and it just works.

However, for some reason on PC it's often quirky (Windows or Linux). My PC bluetooth works through a dongle so I wonder if an integrated card would do better.

Also, most devices will not keep more than 1 pairing, so it will be annoying if you plan to be jumping around between computers. But that's not the fault of the protocol, in theory remembering multiple pairings can be supported if the devices wanted to implement that.

They didn't have the right frame of reference.

From what I gather, I don't think it's about any stance from Codeberg in general, it seems they are attacking "several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights" in particular. They just happen to be hosted in Codeberg.

lol.. it does make it sound like they are trying to hide things from him, but I don't think that's the intention... it probably means "before the branch with the breakage has to be reviewed / tested / checked by the main person merging branches from each subsystem into mainline (Linus)"

This might fool some scrapping, but at the expense of making it not very legible for humans too. Also while ti might work right now, if it ever became a popular approach the AI scrapping could easily adapt. I expect they already try to correct for spelling mistakes anyway.

It reminds me of leet-speak. The custom keyboard is not a bad idea though.

I have astigmatism too and for me it looks just as bad when inverted, a blurry mess of black on white.

To me, what makes one a better choice vs the other has more to do with my environmental lighting.

• If I'm on a place with a lot of light, the screen being black makes it have reflections so I prefer black on white in those cases.
• If I'm in a dark place, the bright screen makes the screen itself the primary source of light which is not good for my eyesight, it can make my eyes feel like burning/tired after a while.

You don't need about:config for this.

This is the same setting you can configure in the preferences under "Website appearance".. if you change that you'll see the about:config setting changes too.

This is the full paragraph:

We collect certain device and network connection information when you access the Service. This information includes your device model, operating system, keystroke patterns or rhythms, IP address, and system language. We also collect service-related, diagnostic, and performance information, including crash reports and performance logs. We automatically assign you a device ID and user ID. Where you log-in from multiple devices, we use information such as your device ID and user ID to identify your activity across devices to give you a seamless log-in experience and for security purposes.

It looks to me that they are using it to identify the user uniquely, maybe also related to captcha to prevent bots (it's common practice to capture mouse and keyboard while resolving captchas to see if the movement is human-like).
