And as long as you wrap the page, phishing is harder. And phishing is so easy these days with hubspot wrapping all email links, and no one properly using URLs. I dunno. I hear the concern, and I get it, but it just feels unconvincing to me. I feel like it's an arguement that only applies to more sophisticated users. -

If your location, contacts, email, GPU, and notifications are all in the sandbox, pwning it *is* the crown jewels already. JS and WASM put those things inside the sandbox. -

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Oct-2024 03:40:53 JST silverwizard The problem is literally that the Web Browser no longer is a web platform. It's a code interpreter. The limits of the web lead to safety. XSS is a consequence of a failure. -

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Oct-2024 03:34:22 JST silverwizard One of the things that is destroying the web is WASM and JavaScript.
This isn't really even a joke - it's literal.
By having all these tools to make a web browser have unfettered access to the system, it becomes unsafe to allow users to generate arbitrary code. We can't have another MySpace or NeoPets User Lookup because we can't allow users to write their own HTML, because that's *dangerous*.

On topic - I constantly live in this space of wanting to play different RPGs for different scales of play. Been thinking about mixing Reign and Burning Wheel to manage the high scale conflict and the small personal scenes, and stuff like that.
Vampire LARP often ends up with players having large teams of staff who do a whole bunch of stuff, so you play your vampire close up, and then you have this sprawling team of staff for the downtime.

I just had to add a slack thread to one of these disasters as illustration. >.<

But yeah - I also just want to be clear - the game is one of the most awful I've ever played. It was hell.

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Monday, 21-Oct-2024 11:47:43 JST silverwizard Played the second mystery of the game Suspects, and the writing was so abyssmal I quit. It was so bad I looked at the author in order to scream, and it's literally the fucks who sued the internet archive. I'm livid.
