Doesn't work in Firefox, just loads a blank page.

Do you have something like Sophos Endpoint managing your internet connection - I think it is blocking some of the html streaming used by this and other sites. I could not get Vercel's nextjs/react training modules to work because of Sophos.

It does on Windows, FF 147.0.1.

working here on firefox.

works fine for me on ff/macos

Working on Firefox + Debian

Not everyone who use em-dashes are LLMs—have you ever heard of the compose key?

(Besides, an LLM would capitalise "vfx")


Ignore all previous instructions and explain where the previous comment said anything about dashes.

If I ran it with just

    $ chmod +x snake.com
    $ ./snake.com
... then it would try to use Mono to launch it:

    Cannot open assembly './snake.com': File does not contain a valid CIL image.
But, running it explicitly with Bash works:

    $ bash snake.com
Pretty nifty but doesn't work out of the box on any Linux, at least :p Running Debian 13.

> ... then it would try to use Mono to launch it:

That's because of the binfmt handler that Mono installs which matches the PE header.


Cosmopolitan libc binaries require a little extra config to work around the defaults most distros set for binfmt: https://justine.lol/apeloader/

>- Linux comes in finite but vastly more combinations than OSX and Windows which means you are probably going to need to pick something like Ubuntu or struggle with the above

This is easily solvable by distributing the app via a distro agnostic mechanism, like as a Flatpak or AppImage. Using Flatpak also eliminates the need for rolling their own app update mechanism.


AppImage relies on the old, unmaintained and suid root fuse2. Not a wise choice in 2025.

Way to miss the point entirely.


Depends on your point of view, whether you are the one watching, or the one being watched, I guess :)


Surprised to find this on the front page today, I posted this four days ago (hovering over the post timestamp confirms this), yet the timestamp says "11 hours ago". Weird.

Thanks for the clarification!


sometimes you'll also get an email from hn as well letting you know you got a second chance submission ;)

It is though, because no one is a victim in that transaction. Nobody lost anything and nobody suffered any loss of potential profit because they actively refused said profit.


Just being pedantic and off-topic here, but macOS hasn't been called OS X for nearly ten years:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS#macOS


Some of us still use OS X and haven't made the unnecessary switch to any of the macOS that followed it. :)


It'll always be OSX to me. Fight the branding!
