Flappy Bird’s original creator says he has nothing to do with the new game

Dong Nguyen’s trademark for the game was terminated after Gametech Holdings filed to have it declared abandoned.




I worked on improving the load time on Tedium over the weekend. Mobile a bit of a slog still, but it works a lot better than it did on desktop.

One casualty of this is that now I’m starting to use auto=format in imgix, so it’s not loading GIFs for most users, but AVIF files. Hopefully that will help.

I thought it was an Australian electrical outlet in the wild.

I thought it was a USB-A or telephone cord looking for a plug 🤣

POPE. A figure burned annually every fifth of November, in memory of the gunpowder plot, which is said to have been carried on by the papists.

I think I found a security bug in Linux Mint.

Install Linux Mint 22 (Cinnamon) with password requirement to sign in. Using the GUI have Mint update. Reboot. Confirm that you need a password to use sudo (you do).

In the "start menu" (app menu), open "Users and Groups" and create another administrator. Note there is no option to require password sign in, but that is not the greater issue.

Log out, log in as your new user. Open "Users and Groups" again. Delete the 1st user. Reboot.

Guess what, you never need a password, ever again. You can right click and run as root anytime you want, you can run sudo anytime you feel like it. No passwords or prompt warning you of your actions. Install any random DEB file without any prompt.

You're basically root.

Screenshot shows a simple "who am i" command and also what group Linux Mint gave me from making the new user.

Is this actually a Security Bug?

As far as I know, it is only 'highly recommended' to use a password/second user(other than Root) in the first place rather than an absolute requirement.

I think all you have done is restore your install of Linux to it's original state. The fact you needed the password to login means it's secure from boot.

Interesting though. I'll be keen to see the vox pop feedback on this.

Dramatikern Falk Richters uppsättning av tragedin Kung Lear på Dramaten öppnar, med hjälp av scenografen Wolfgang Menardi, våra ögon för samtidens tragedier. De som vi kanske inte alltid orkar ta in, men som likväl pågår. Här får Shakespeare spana på oss – och han får knappast någon tröst i det.
