Retro: SNES and GBA. I have strong 16-bit nostalgia, but I also think the pixel graphic art style of that era has aged much better than the low polygon count, early 3D art style of the N64, Saturn, and PS1. Some modern, usually indie games get pixel art on the same level, like Sea of Stars and Cobalt Core, which I have enjoyed.

Current Generation: Steam Deck. I barely play anything else anymore and I'm seriously considering only keeping a Steam Deck or similar portable for the next generation. The other consoles (Switch, Xbox, PS) are all too locked down and are clearly just trying to keep me locked in their ecosystem.

Compromise idea: Put it in the middle.

Good idea?: Make it as wide as the screen.

Cursed idea: Make it a slide-to-unlock-style widget.

Cynically, I'd bet there's a solution to this. However, it'd eat into gas company profits and Texas, being a deregulation "paradise", doesn't require it in the code, so it doesn't get done. So occasionally the gas mains spontaneously explode...

Somewhere around 0.3 to 0.4 Mooches.

Twitter already broke their internet search results just a couple of months ago:

That's believed to be why they reversed on the "must log in to read" and rate limiting policies.

This is the backdoor that's deployed after a host is compromised. How the host is compromised is somewhat irrelevant. It could be exploited manually, social engineering, a worm, etc.

Yes, weird corner cases in musl cause a lot of things to misbehave when run on musl. For example, DNS upgrade to TCP, which is required for certain queries and covered by one of the DNS RFCs, wasn't implemented in musl for the longest time, although I think it finally got implemented recently. However, there are other cases like this fwiu.
