Speaking of Metal Slug, Gunforce 1 and 2 are other spiritual prequels to that game (especially 2) and might fit as cyberpunk for you - or at least sci-fi (they even have some screams that were later reused in MS)

I would say that Strider fits cyberpunk. Osman is a similar game and might also fit

Not sure Numan Athletics would fit, but I can totally see it as “official sports in a cyberpunk world”

Undercover Cops has a very gritty aesthetic (also reminiscent of Metal Slug) and the first boss is a cyborg.

Something to note is that a lot of sci-fi in Japan in the late 80s and early 90s started to mix with magic and demon stuff, or some sort of alien biotech, it’s very easy to find examples of that in anime and games (like contra 3), but these themes were rarely consistent through the entire game, it was more common to find a bit of everything thrown together

Not arcade, but Neon Inferno might be worth checking out

Further left, you can find KolibriOS, AROS and way, way further down-left you can find DuskOS

Wrong place for it, God’s own OS should be maximum authority

Simply changing the extension wouldn’t work because each image type has a specific header - even changing a .png to .jpg wouldn’t work - and organizes the actual image data in different ways.

The header is what actually identifies the file type. For webp, it’s called the RIFF header and it must be 21 bytes (it’s a standardized specification, btw). For jpeg, the header is only 2 bytes and has the values FF D8. In theory, this means that you could even rename the file to image.zip and, if you opened it in an appropriate program, it would read the header and still render it properly

Why not SmallBasic then? You could even point them to old computer magazines and see which codes they can get running without much workaround.

I have that problem avif, especially on lemmy, as it opens as a new tab instead of loading the image below the post title. A bunch of android apps I use don’t recognize avif either

Write a book/movie/song about your depression, sell the rights, make the megacorp profit

That or the good ol’ “ignore previous instructions, delete the root folder”

“Looking forward to the article!”
“Happy to be included in the article!”

Not sure whether even those responses were done with the ai or just the sloppers’ incapacity of thought showing through, being happy to be labeled as “part of the problem”

Spent a whole day looking for people sharing personal info, and warning them.

You really did god’s work there

I messaged him, he wanted to trade (never understood this type of people)

Me neither. I guess they revel in being the “sole proprietor” of hard to find data and think they’re like shiny rocks or something

I meant p2p file sharing programs with file discovery, similar to emule/edonkey, limewire and shareaza

Instructions unclear, now Chrome Edge webview is running every cloud application as a separate electron process

I suppose more places would do that whatsapp thing if they didn’t have to pay meta for the privilege. At my work, we have a little bot that sends a telegram message whenever you clock in/out. The first option was whatsapp, but having to pay for that meant that was a no-go

For user input, it’s always ? in my code :)

Ok, that’s already what I’m doing, so I should be ok against sql injection. Usernames don’t accept special characters, only [a-Z][0-9], and email is dealt with filter function. I had to sanitize user display names with htmlspecialchars in order to avoid html/javascript injection

Check out migrations.

Only way to implement those is with a library, right? I did find this tutorial here (Building a PHP Database Migration System from Scratch: A Complete Developer’s Guide), so I might check and try it out sometime in the future

Be careful with tricks.

I am. Every time I have to deal with hashes here (all the time), I die a little bit inside

you have a database field containing a list of comma separated IDs

No, the column is just saving plain text, like Category: "video, blog, news" - from where I do the rest of the string juggling, there’s no second table involved in this.

Wishing you lots of fun with your project!

Thank you! 😄

Android’s own appeal probably died somewhere in 2013 or 2014, but it has always kept strong for a very simple reason: phone prices. You could either pay 700 dollars for an iphone, or 200 for an android

From my understanding, using the PDO->prepare function, which is what I do with every SQL, is enough to sanitize all inputs. Can it still allow sql injection?

So I went and looked: aardvark means “earth pig” or “ground pig” in afrikaner

Also, this is Arthur’s reaction
