  • I wish more of them would support duckduckgo's bang system, brave seems to, but that's about it. Idealogically I find the idea of using brave troublesome because of a) Eich's transphobia, and b) the cryptobro factor (although I don't think the search page has an embedded miner, at least not from the cursory glance I took

  • Does Adobe realise that by constantly "disabling" my pirated Photoshop, they're just ensuring I always have the latest and greatest version?
  • They check the license key hasn't been revoked via a DNS lookup, but not at install time, so often the user installs, uses, then miraculously finds it disabled a few weeks later; then runs to find a new copy/keygen and the whole situation starts again.

    Also, could Oracle/Sun ever get around to not changing the numbering system on a product midway through a product life. I mean, Java 1.21 is great and all, but you know...

    10f4: 48 8d 3d d5 00 00 00  lea    0xd5(%rip),%rdi        # 11d0 <_Z11unreachablev>
    10fb: ff 15 b7 2e 00 00     call   *0x2eb7(%rip)        # 3fb8 <__libc_start_main@GLIBC_2.34>
    

    how odd.

    edit: ah, it's called from __start, which suggests that main is being elided entirely by the optimiser, and somehow 'unreachable' is simply becoming a defacto 'main'
