- Comment on How VPNs really work: Protocols, safety and myth - Sentient Rant 1 day ago:
Ill always use a vpn as theres no other way to stop advertisers seeing your local host ip.
Its not sufficient to stop them tracking, by miles, but its necessary.
- Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried 1 week ago:
Pls, technology?
Climate change and a war against china are the two triggers.
- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 1 week ago:
It’s the people who chose solaris before the purchase i feel sorry for.
- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 1 week ago:
I understand why people keep using oracle, but i have never understood why anyone starts.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Reading this my mind immediately went to hitler banning fraktur.
Because there was a great post about it on mastodon a few days ago not because im clever.
- Comment on Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future 2 weeks ago:
We already know what country we’re in.
Whats it communicating? State ownership?
Any idiot can use the union jack in a logo. And they do.
I dont entirely hate it and theres an argument the state should make the flag mean something by using it. I just dont think they can.
Any trust and brand awareness they build up can be undermined immediately by someone using almost identical branding to sell soggy cardboard sandwiches outsude the station.
- Comment on Controversial horror game Horses is the top-selling new game on GOG even as it gets kicked off the Humble Store one day after launch 2 weeks ago:
The steam ban was ages ago, the news was recent. They decided to go loud about the steam ban as they released, its clearly pr. I dont think they got banned intentionally but the differwnce is a little academic when you cry this loudly about it.

😭

Guess what fuckers, they dont want to be there any more than you want them there. Fix the gp system and it’ll all magically disappear.
Shocking no one wants to try and have a conversation about their health by shouting over the counter to a pharmacist in a packed shop as they vaguely listen with one ear while packing medication.
- Comment on Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead' 3 weeks ago:
I guess they made the promise to compete with poe but eventually found out why it is so hard to make work.
Still, interesting explanations from everyone. thanks

But grim dawn has classes in the dlc expa sions 🤔

I have played Vintage Story and moose are the apex predator for me. Ill fight any number of horrifying eldritch rot rust monsters from another dimension before i go near a moose.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 5 weeks ago:
Right, If the truth is theyre barely afloat theyre not going to change anything by delaying the report. The time its reporting has passed.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 5 weeks ago:
A lot of very confused people here who think an earnings delay means ubi havent made much money. Cant say if they have or not, but if they havent thats still not a reason for this kind of delay

No full pcap or anakysis so no idea

- Comment on What went wrong with Pizza Hut? 1 month ago:
You have to use special deals for dominos. Its competitive then. They have standard ones on all the time.
- Comment on 'Mask of the Betrayer: the last of the boomer cRPG classics' - Warlockracy 1 month ago:
Finally someone who admits it, had far too many people try to say boomer shooters are named after shotguns.
Dont expect us slightly elderly gamers to call our precious childhood games by the name of a group that fucked us all over first.
- Comment on 'Mask of the Betrayer: the last of the boomer cRPG classics' - Warlockracy 1 month ago:
I swear you youngsters wouldnt know a boomer if they stole all your money and then made you pay for their retirement.
- Comment on Ruby Central tries to make peace after 'hostile takeover' 2 months ago:
He did a lot more than say that about london. In case anyone reading isnt aware just go searching. Dont trust slanted posts on the internet.
Also its all over now, and gems should never have been separate anyway. Who cares?
- Comment on Xbox requires age verification now 2 months ago:
And ms will find it a lot easier to blame the screwups on yoti than on themselves
- Comment on JP Morgan staff told they must share biometric data to access headquarters 2 months ago:
I don’t think so, these places are ones that have the “yes, actually mossad” threat vector to defend against.
Like the general public already wouldn’t get in.
- Comment on Cops have now arrested over 2,000 peaceful Defend Our Juries protesters 2 months ago:
Spook Bullshit I think.
Both in amount our security services rely on them (terrible to let happen) but also the amount of retaliation they can employ.
Also explains why no one talks about it.
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 2 months ago:
I’m imagining that picture with ea as death visiting Westwood and bioware etc.
But to the left you see ea death is in its own room and opening the door is the figure of private equity. A bloodstained tzeentchian nightmare screeching from the void.
- Comment on Regulating AI hastens the Antichrist, says Palantir’s Peter Thiel 2 months ago:
Yeah idgi. He’s trying to convince the Christian right to regulate ai or something right?
- Comment on Starmer used land tax dodge to avoid inheritance tax 2 months ago:
So he gave them something and the…canary… is sad he didn’t then have to pay inheritance tax on something he gifted when it came back to him?
Shit stirring tbh. He could’ve just kept it the whole time but wanted his parents to feel ownership and independence. This isn’t a tax dodge it’s just how tax rules work.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 2 months ago:
I didn’t ask for this.
What a shame.
- Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened 2 months ago:
If the Google war on ad blocking meant the ad blockers accidently blocked something everyone wants its still Google fault.
Everything was fine until Google decided to change how everything works over and over again to get people to watch the awful ads they let on their platform.
- Comment on The Secret Service traced swatting threats against officials. They found 300 servers capable of crippling New York’s cell system 2 months ago:
The majority of finance institutions will have multiple live servers in two places. Eg. new Jersey and as far away as Virginia. Some have three.
The data itself will be in even more locations as backups, but might take a while to recover if multiple sites were attacked at once.
