trek, if we are talking about classics (i’m still not good at it), but I grew up with MUDs, so those are my favorites. i got to play a little zork in the BBS days, and Legend of the Red Dragon.
Hmm, LORD might have been my favorite of all time, if I had to pick one terminal-ish game.
edit: i’ll have to check out atc, btw, i havent played it yet
Kudos for looking out first your future self - I had to leave the field entirely after it got to the point where I couldn’t stand to look at a computer anymore. Still can’t for more than an hour, two years later.
I intend to reply more later, because this does deserve a longer reply, but I am short on steam.
In the meantime, have you heard of login.gov? Check that out. The day that .com gets a hook into that is the day that identity problems are (mostly) solved.
Risk management is the name of the game, as always, eh?
That’s a slick technique for anti-cheat, heh. What did you think of the Call of Duty “fake data” approach? That cracked me up - things in game that only cheaters can see, so they end up self-reporting themselves as cheaters lol

I get the fear of being de-anonymized on the internet, but it may be the case of something we hate being something we need, when you start to throw deepfakes into the mix.
Check out this listing - BlueGriffon might be up your alley, for ease of use, but kompozer used to be the classic replica of Dreamweaver from Windows. Not sure about NetBeans, but it might be good, and can’t speak to the rest.
Ahh, what an emotional rollercoaster - ok, so noted.
Memmy seems relatively decent, only missing maybe one or two features that I’ve noticed in my few weeks on lemmy.
