@bonkmaykr I actually thought you were serious, so I checked you website, but there was no forum. Though I do like your website's aesthetic. It does give off the vibe of some small game's company from the 90s or early 2000s. All it needs is an RSS feed.

@RustyCrab I can't remember. I assume it was still online. Google Gadgets were just glorified iframes IIRC.

@RustyCrab I used it to play flash games on the desktop as a kid because I was too dumb to realize that you can download any SWF file and load them in a blank HTML document.

TIL big specialized forums have started backdating millions of LLM-generated posts. Now you cannot be sure a reply from 2009 on some forum for physics or maps or flower or drill enthusiasts haven't been machine-generated and totally wrong.

Got it working in C, and running on real hardware! But in the process figured out what I was doing wrong in Zig.

I'll probably be going back to Zig after this because It's been kind of unpleasant using C again. Got used to Zig real fast.

@echo @PurpCat @Soy_Magnus @Noraweed I think it's both illegal and a violation of Facebook's ToS. I think it got to the point where some companies required their employees to actually HAVE a Facebook account so they wouldn't be able to pull the "well I don't have one card" which caused some to walk out and find another job.

And maybe some of them realized that everyone does unprofessional shit when they are off-work and nobody acts "professional" 100% of the time.

>basically gave the company remote admin access to your phone

That reminds me of the whole controversy of employers asking for employee's Facebook passwords.

>But I'd find ones that would host a bunch of flash games ripped from other sites.

I remember a bunch of sites on Google Sites that hosted a shit ton of flash games.

Hosting them on Google Sites was a genius idea because Google Sites didn't really have custom domains or even subdomains (they were hosted on directories, much like many personal websites on ISPs use to do) and schools didn't block Google Sites because a lot of teachers hosted their sites (for hosting class syllabus or homework assignments if you were absent) on there. So those sites allowed you to play those games at school when other sites were blocked.
