I saw this tweet a while ago that was like "Piracy lore is crazy, there's only like 2 people who know how to crack Denuvo. One of them is a psychotic transphobe who speaks like a JRPG villain, and the other only cracks football games"

I'm paraphrasing, but honestly it's so accurate...

Edit: For anyone confused, here is a great writeup on the history of Denuvo cracking, and Empresses lunacy

Don't forget the: "I'm the greatest philosopher who ever lived" and "I use visions and astral-states to crack my games" parts

I really, really don't like the "games as a service" thing Microsoft is trying to shove into the industry. Just watch, it will pan out exactly like the streaming services. Once the golden years (equivalent of OG Netflix) of "burn money by throwing in more games than we can afford" are over, we will gradually see fragmentation, price hikes, cost-cutting, etc.

Fuck Microsoft.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but whatever.

Darranged, racist and borderline-transphobic Denuvo cracker who goes off on unhinged rants pretty often. Generally what she says doesn't hold much weight.

Check the FreeMediaHeckYeah wiki, but as far as I know 1337x is still generally safe.

10 Lemmy up votes = 200 Reddit upvotes in terms of impact on my ego and e-peen

How right to repair is good for the consumer, complete lie. Daddy Tim Cook is keeping me safe with my glued in phone battery, anti-replacement display chip, Apple repair program required NDA, etc. He also bullies manufacturers into cutting off all direct-to-consumer sales of components, so that no nasty unsafe display ends up in my device. Thanks Tim, and fuck Louis! (obvious /s)

That was a good read, totally changed my position. Thank you.

I disagree. But, if true, we have been trolled to an elite level.

As someone who uses GrapheneOS, and likes Louis Rossman, this is very concerning. Could you link me to some info on this?

Holy shit, that is so unhinged. Multiple accounts of, what seem to me like, paranoid delusions from the GrapheneOS dev. As a user this is concerning, and I will keep an eye on it going forwadd.

Can someone explain to me why people are so violently opposed to this?

If Threads blows up, and ActivityPub is integrated, you'll have access to all of it through any federated instance. No need to let Meta sap all your data to view it or communicate with it's users. Meta can't kill ActivityPub or force us onto Threads, just abandon it and leave us back where we are today. If you don't like the Meta users, just make or join an instance that isn't federated.

Anyone can scrape the metaverse data and use it for whatever, Meta included. Them implementing ActivityPub doesn't change anything about that.

Look I don't like Meta as much as the next guy, but this all just seems like illogical gatekeeping

Edit: I understand now, see: XMPP and Google. Good article someone replied to me with, down below.

"Millionaire hit with $20 antitrust fine in Spain"

Zucc is a greedy asshole, but I think he knows when to sit back, and let the smarter people make decisions.

Musk is an arrogant, insufferable fuck. Epitome of a know-it-all.

I'd only heard of Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, and Peertube until now. Pixelfed looks cool, Owncast and Misskey are too but I don't watch streamers or microblog so.

"Intellectual pedigree" is the most pretentious things I've heard in a while ...

Yes. I don't give a shit if it's immoral.

Oh no!

Anyways ...

So much talk, nothing to back it up. Blatant PR move.

I understand what you mean, but I believe Reddit themselves confirmed the breach. If Reddit didn't pay up, then the data has been/is being auctioned off on the dark web.

I fully support you in running

Bold of you to assume anyone on here will be able to claim social security before it goes kaput

Good to know, thank you.

I used Calyx for months, it's great. Switched to GrapheneOS for some reason, I can't remember, and haven't had any reason to switch.

It's very obvious ragebait, just don't respond, it's what they want.

Great explanation. The days of the "web 2.0" fantasy dream are officially over, investors needed their money back at a certain point and that point is now.

Golden retrievers: the goodest of boys.

True story, every time I see a golden retriever when driving (by myself), I say "WHAT A GOOD BOY" out loud habitually. Only goldens, and sometimes labs if they look extra behaved.

Maybe that's cringe to some, but I adore these dogs.

I've played every Fromsoft game multiple times, except DS2. Just got SOTFS and I'm excited to give it a go.

Wow, it's confirmed. Honestly so grateful they had an immediate and painless death. Imagine sitting in complete darkness for 4 days waiting to suffocate.

In terms of optimization, Gentoo is the best you're gonna get, but the word "convenience" makes me hesitant to recommend it to you.

Arch is minimal, and has many resources/guides on battery optimization (Especially for ThinkPads), but if you'd like to learn something else, Void is the way to go.

If you're looking for a tiling WM, I can wholeheartedly recommend bspwm. Lots of control and customization, but pretty easy to configure when you understand it. Just know, it might be a hard change going from stacking to tiling.

No, just ... No. Ya know, here in the real world, women drink beer too. Plenty of it. Plenty of guys drink sweet spirits too. Some people just like beer bruv, no need to be making this an issue of "toxic masculinity".
