Tbf Steam also messes around with defaults like making my controller's guide button focus Steam instead of opening the game bar - which is maddening in the middle of a game. I'm a couch gamer so I have to go grab my keyboard or whatever in order to Alt+Tab back to the game.

It also by default remaps to use the Steam inputs driver.

I swear I keep turning these settings off and then mysteriously they re-enable sometimes. It's mostly rigged up so that as long as you're only launching games through Steam it works great but not otherwise.

if you don't want to or can't use extensions, just right click > inspect on the password field, then right click the element highlighted in the HTML and click "use in console" or "store in global variable" depending on browser

it'll put something like

temp0 into the console

just change that line to

temp0.value = "yourpassword"
```  and press enter

it sounds verbose to explain but it's just a couple of clicks and one command, if you're using a password manager it's still a lot easier than typing out a random string and it should work with most text boxes and inputs, might not work if the page is doing something fancy.

I am still waiting for Windows 2001, you know it'll be good though if it's taking them this long

Because the Firefox looking glass fiasco wasn't close to the same level and they immediately responded to criticism on the issue.

Meanwhile there is a pattern of behaviour like this from Brave.

Why isn't the lib politician tagged as lib? It's so weird

It does often feel like as soon as a significant hurdle is overcome, the industry just makes another one.

Hopefully SteamOS/Steam on Linux gets enough traction to force publishers to reconsider.

It would be six days at max, assuming they managed to steal the certificate immediately after it was issued, otherwise it's gonna be even less.

Having the certificate doesn't automatically mean you can change the site, if you have control of the site hosting you likely wouldn't need to steal the cert anyway.

Stealing the certificate would allow you to run a man in the middle type attack but that's inevitably going to be very limited in scope. The shorter time limit on the cert reduces that scope even further, which is great.

Since most Let's Encrypt certs will have an automated renewal process this doesn't even really change the overhead of setup so I think this move makes a lot of sense.

There are other things certificates can be used for as well of course but I'm just going off your example.

Why is your comment so adversarial when previous commenter literally said they weren't sure?

That's not the same as dismissing women's accounts so please don't equate them

The problem with that approach is that the authentic disc is effectively used as your licence at the moment. There wouldn't be any effective way to stop piracy with offline zip files
