These mods are available on various platforms from PCs to handhelds. Game mods are popular that adds new functionality or content to existing games. They do have their fair share of fans though such as with gamers. Hackers and hacks by extension are still viewed in a negative light even today. This did not stop people from viewing it in a negative way. The reason behind this was not to cause harm but encourage better and more secure systems. Hackers have developed methods to exploit security holes in various computer systems. In time though, it evolved into what is today known as the Internet. It was as a means to link government offices. The Department of Defense founded a network known as ARPANET. Hackers emerged out of the artificial intelligence labs at MIT in the 1960s. People who could push computer systems beyond the defined limits. People viewed the term hacker as a positive label slapped onto computer gurus. They are the real pioneers of true hackers today. These so-called hackers are intelligent people who strive to seek more knowledge. Same with other messaging systems, assuming they have queued messages and aren't online only.The term "hacker" originated at MIT back in the 1960s? It's used to describe skilled people who practiced hardcore programming. Maybe it should even speak IMAP and SMTP, but JMAP is probably good enough and browser accessible.

3ds discord web browser Offline#
Again, there's good reasons, and you wouldn't like every page/app to have this capability, but this capability enables good offline usability by fetching data when available and pushing user driven updates when available.įor example, Email should be offline capable, and it should have nearly all the messages that were available when last the device had connectivity, and it should let me compose new messages and replies and queue them until connectivity returns. Additionally, a page/app can't run a server for other browsers to connect to, it's got to be intermediated with a separate server it would be difficult to make an offline LAN multiplayer game work.ī) reliable non-interactive push messaging and/or background connectivity. There's good reasons for some of this, and it's not that limiting, since popular protocols tend to grow some of these encapsulations to circumvent lazy firewalls, but it sticks out to me. Take away the sandbox and the shameless data vampires get anything they want.Ī) communication protocols that aren't encapsulated in http(s), websockets, or webrtc. The browser sandbox doesn't protect you from fingerprinting techniques and the ensuing tracking, but it protects you from a whole lot of other stuff. Desktop apps written by web developers are like demons that have broken through the summoning circle. It will still use lots of CPU and memory, and now in addition to tracking you with the techniques available to it in the browser sandbox, it will gleefully list the processes running on your machine, rifle through your files, try to get itself to start up automatically on login, try to get it so that when you "close" it it's still running in the system tray, and generally just make itself at home.ĭesktop apps written by devs who first learned to write desktop apps are better than web apps. The alternative to using something like Discord on the web is not a well-optimized desktop app that is somehow more respectful w.r.t. The web has tracking everywhere and often uses a lot of CPU, memory, battery, and bandwidth.
