The sniper bots in TF2 will instantly kill any non-bot player unless the person buys a "bot protection" from the cheaters. Playing on bot-infested servers is basically impossible unless you pay up (which you obviously shouldn't do).


It sure sounds interesting, but I'm only getting timeouts. A possible hug-of-death period should be over by now?


Two years ago, on the height of Wordle's popularity I wanted to play a custom word against my colleague and ended up sending the emojis manually in the chat to each of their guesses.

That was a Friday and the same evening I had the idea to make it into one of the many derivatives and finished the same night around 3am.

Things went a bit popular from there and it wasn't long before I was contacted by companies that wanted their own branded version. That meant I had a potential product on my hand and started selling subscriptions to managed branded puzzle sites.

Fast-forward a year and I sold the weekend project for a nice sum. :)


I couldn't help but notice that the butterflies in this animation are all dead.

I would never expect a browser extension to work flawlessly with every possible site out there.

You are the user of the extension. Does it break a site? Submit a patch to the extension! Certainly don't complain to the website author who has no control over what extensions you personally use.


I love Pico and wanted to point out there's very active development for a soon to be released v2: https://v2.picocss.com/


Pico with bootstrap's grid system would be a dream.


You don't need a grid system now that CSS Grid exists.


The responsiveness of bootstrap's grid is something that css doesn't have. With a few classes I can make the same site for mobile and ultra wide screen.


You'd do it with media queries and make different grids for different screen sizes. If anything it's more flexible than bootstrap because you can change element order as well.


https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/layout/columns/#reordering

Bootstrap grid system is super complete, and probably better coded that anything I can make. Its also available as a standalone module, so the size is pretty small. I just wanted it integrated to PicoCSS because I'm lazy.


A really quick example of switching between desktop and mobile page layouts at 800px:

  @media (min-width: 800px) {
     #page {
        grid-template-areas:
           "header header"
           "menu   content"
           "footer footer";
     }
  }
  @media (max-width: 800px) {
     #page {
        grid-template-areas:
           "header  menu"
           "content content"
           "footer  footer";
     }
  }


I once heard that there are a couple types of projects that every software dev must go through at least once as a rite of passage. For me and those around me those definitely were IRC bots and bulletin board systems. Everyone created their own.


We can already see this to some degree. On my Android device, Chrome will only let me create a synchronized passkey in a Google account UNLESS attachment is explicitly set to "cross-plattform" - even though not specifying the option is supposed to allow all types.

You can try this out on webauthn.io and changing the attachment setting.


It's not a casino or falls under gambling laws I assume because there is absolutely nothing to be won.


So it's exposing those games for what they really are: not-fun time wasters.
