Looks like the kidnapper also stole the null terminator for this string!

Any context on him "trashing his reputation"?

Of course not. That title belongs to Fruit Ninja.

That definitely wasn't the case for this small-town library.

About ten years back, I had moved away from home and was living in a small town with no Internet in my apartment. The only internet connection I had was the local library.

I remember being so surprised at the amount of viruses on those dumb computers. I wondered what the heck people were doing to them to get them in that state, and then one time I saw some dude looking up porn and just downloading whatever programs the pages he came to told him to.

Anyway, I'm glad I have Internet in my apartment now.

Most new books I find are books I check out from my local library. While the library did pay for a copy, so it's not quite the same, as a reader I didn't pay anything for it. The barrier to trying the new book is very small, and if I don't like it I haven't lost anything.

Readers finding your book online for free are having the same experience. Maybe not everyone who reads it will want to buy copies, but some will. Just like how some who find your book in a library would want to buy their own copy.

The tools will be fairly specific to the game you're hacking. For example, a lot of tools exist for GBA Pokemon games, but something like porymap won't work for another game.

It's like saying someone stole your bike and you don't want to be immoral by stealing it back.

So, the argument was that there was absolutely no way whatsoever that one could figure out they needed to depend on mio for a good event loop interface. It was totally an insurmountable task!

You still see this same mindset now with people making things like blessed.rs. It's the same idea, just not wrapped into a library. I find it hilarious when it gets shared in discussions and some people go "oh wow so helpful!", as if we all couldn't have found serde and rand on crates.io without it.

What do you mean by "vanilla"? Like, one of the official games just updated with QoL features? Honestly, you can just compile the Emerald Expansion with whatever features you want and play that.

Honestly, you ever tried to look back through a long thread on Discord? It's impossible. If you want to read the original message that started the thread, good luck, you'll be scrolling all day and may never get there. How anyone can claim that's "easy to use" is beyond me.

Discord works for quick discussions happening right now, and that's it.
