Hamuko··on Google cleared 300 hectares of Finnish forest
The paperwork can't show a problem because they didn't make any paperwork. And they are required to make the paperwork and they know that they were required because they asked the authorities if they could just skip it and got rejected.
Hamuko··on Google cleared 300 hectares of Finnish forest
It's important to note that when Google has said to have followed the law, it's been referring to following the forestry law. But the requirement to perform the environmental impact assessment is not part of the forestry law, but rather it's its own law.

Hamuko··on Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you bought
Google Stadia was always doomed to fail because people have zero trust in Google keeping a service alive if it's not an immediate success.

Hamuko··on Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you bought
They can certainly try but I'm not convinced that gamers are gonna latch onto the idea. Sure, a new GTA game might be able to do it to a certain level of success, but I'm not sure a Gears of War: E-Day will be able to get people to pay a constant subscription to stream it. Indie games will almost certainly not go streaming exclusive, so you'll now be competing even more fiercely with indies and older games.

Hamuko··on EA is shutting down BioWare
Not really sure if they're comparable to a Bioware since CD Projekt Red the studio is basically the one and the same as CD Projekt the publisher. They also own GOG.com. They're probably more comparable to a Valve, with game development, game publishing and game distribution under a single roof.

Is the talent not vanishing backed up by data? The gaming industry has always been an extremely brutal industry, and I wouldn't be surprised if the low wages, long hours and zero job security permanently burn out some of the talent.

You'd have to ask my manager, since he's the one demanding that. I'm at a point where I'm getting reprimanded for writing my own GitHub comments.

Hamuko··on Today's PHP security release, and how we're strengthening security
It's Calif. They're named in the post.

>As a result of the leak and pre-announcement around 20:00 UTC, Calif, one of the security firms that had reported the issues mistakenly published a video. It showed their proof of concept working against a number of targets and revealed a few additional, though limited, details about the vulnerabilities.

You can see the same demo video on their site: https://calif.io/php2shell/#php-5-4-0-rce

Hamuko··on Today's PHP security release, and how we're strengthening security
Not really sure if 3 is correct. Might have been Calif leaks the video -> it goes viral -> people make PoCs based on the video -> Chainguard releases the binary because there seem to be credible PoCs out there (that are not just the Shigure Ui video).

Maybe they were counting on the fact that usually the right answer to “I’m thinking of a number between 1 and 10” is “7”.
Hamuko··on Security advisory: Critical remote code execution vulnerabilities, update now
As far as I can tell, there is no proper mitigation beyond patching. Unless we count turning off your service as a mitigation. Cloudflare is currently busy playing whack-a-mole with new vectors so it’s probably not feasible to properly mitigate it on the edge either.
Hamuko··on PHP session.upload_progress heap UAF (CVE-2026-109618 / -109619)
I think putting my PHP site behind Cloudflare would be the least I would do if I wanted to keep it online before PHP can be patched. The other alternative is trying to block multi-part uploads before they reach PHP.
Hamuko··on It's still ok to enjoy programming
Yeah, it's kinda hard to separate "work" from "life" when even in saner working conditions you spend a third of your day at it. And if you're anything like me, you spend the other third trying to mentally recover from the misery it's causing you.
Hamuko··on Linux 7.3
Gotta say, using SMB with Apple clients is a massive pain in the ass. I imagine a large part of that is just Microsoft cruft, leaving you to deal with limitations designed around Windows. And you don't really have another option after Apple deprecated AFP.

No? Why would either of one of those have to win? Even if you limit yourself to US companies only, Google and Meta still exist.

>profitability may not hold for the full year

That is a lot of caveats on the "profitability".

Hamuko··on Muse Spark Open
How about the fact that they're not shouting from the rooftops how they're managing to make money in an industry that is currently mostly known as a giant money fire? Instead they're reporting being profitable "after making certain adjustments", which sounds a lot like "not profitable".

Hamuko··on Steam Client is now faster than Epic's new vibe coded launcher
Epic Games wants to make an "AI-first" game, so they need to push "vibe coding" onto the gaming audiences to get them to accept it before they lay off people and ask $69 for a game where the art is made by an AI model.

Epic Games seems desperate in its attempts to make gamers like AI.
Hamuko··on AI was great until it was not
I've discovered that I either want to have no interaction with people, or I want to have real human interactions. I don't want the shitty half measure where my manager sends me whatever Claude sent them, or gives me instructions like I was a prompt ("do X now").
