Demand is what causes Supply. Somewhere out there is someone with the skill to crack Denuvo, but no need to, because this lunatic is already doing it. And being the competition means being on empress' radar, which is really something a sane person would not want.

There's an unbelievable amount of plot holes in fallout that are a lot easier to explain if you consider some folks in the post-post-apocalypse might be full of shit.

Because Windows is known to be malicious spyware, and you should consider not tolerating it any longer.

My understanding is there's group of people whose visa is sponsored by Twitter. If they leave the company, they may well have to leave the country.

This is sh.itjust.works, which makes me a sh.ithead

E: I stole this from somewhere in the wild and wish I had taken note of who came up with it

My guy do you really not understand the shared desire of corporations to prevent solidarity and organization among workers?

I think it's the fact that not everything needs a 20 minute video. There's a lot of topics that I'm interested in but skip because I don't have 20, 30, 40, 60 minutes for it.

If the second one is true, even in a subjective sense, I'm honestly just impressed. I mean, if it works, it works.

What no proper version control does to a mfer.

That is not a winning elevator pitch, that sounds like a dumpster fire of elements in an always online package.

Yes

The people who made halo are scattered to the wind my dude. Most of them did jump to 343, and a lot of the ones who stayed were driven off during the destiny/Activision years.

I think people like that view Linux as some kind of fiefdom rather than a community of individuals.

Lemmy needs to have people willing to put up with the rough edges and build functioning communities before it will become a desirable alternative to one of the largest websites on the modern internet. Rome was not built in a day, friend.

From the point of web infrastructure and standards, they certainly do.

People feel the same way about cars, electricity, food preservation. People's lives are interdependent on massively specialized technical disciplines and most of them couldn't care less. I understand that the amount of specialization that goes into some topics means you can't be an expert on all of these subjects, but some people just could not give a single shit how any of it works, and do not have any understanding of the ways in which it might stop working.

I've come to greatly resent any sort of technology or design being dismissed as "magic", because I've met too many people who mean it literally.

Nah, it's just the kids of the wealthiest people and a handful of diversity admissions.

It is not even semi-private. It is a completely public medium and absolutely nothing posted on it, including direct messages, can be seen as even remotely secure. Worse, anything you post on Mastodon is, once sent, for all intents and purposes completely irrevocable.

This guy is either actively trying to spread fear and doubt about decentralized services, or is somehow only now understanding what the internet is and how it works. Did I step into some kind of time vortex a while back and end up in a world where people ever believed that anything on the internet was private or revocable?

Kind of shocked this logic isn't obvious. Red lights on cars in low-light conditions already have a very specific, very important meaning.

I don't think TPB is strictly recommended for anything anymore, I could be out of the loop on that.
