Pretty sure everyone understand it’s not about the age.

I hear here a lot that the AI bubble will burst. And I wish this was true. But is there any indication for it? Crypto and GPU bubbles didn’t burst. I worry that it’s just another Lemmy circlejerk.
- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 3 weeks ago:
HL3 problem is that they want it to be as groundbreaking as the previous titles. The problem with elder scrolls 6 is that even if it is released it’s probably going to be bad.

I won’t argue your point that PCs cost too much nowadays but gotta say you got some really amazing house prices.

Isn’t it true for the developers as well? If the game development lasts 5 years, you have quite a different team and ideas by the end compared to when you started.
- Comment on Palestinian social app Upscrolled removed from Google Play Store 3 weeks ago:
Can you give an example? It seems their power and influence were not enough against Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Russia. They even lose their grasp on Africa. China and India don’t look like they care a tiny bit of that mythical power. So we have plenty of examples where their power does not stretch far enough, can you give an example that shows how powerful and influential the West is?
- Comment on Palestinian social app Upscrolled removed from Google Play Store 3 weeks ago:
By most of the world you probably mean what is called the West that’s actually only 14% of the world.

You can play Bloodborne via an emulator.

That’s actually some very interesting discussion down there.
- Comment on Pornhub, YouPorn, and Redtube and other content sharing platforms will block New users in the UK starting next week(February 2) 1 month ago:
Again, that’s not some theoretical topic. They can block most VPNs, they do so in China, Russia, Iran. And there are no riots on the streets, their corporate overlords don’t do anything against it. One of the reasons is that they do allow ipsec for corporate clients. Are you a corporate client? Do you use ipsec for vpn? Are there riots on the streets for this censorship instance?
- Comment on Pornhub, YouPorn, and Redtube and other content sharing platforms will block New users in the UK starting next week(February 2) 1 month ago:
It’s not some theoretical topic, it’s the reality for China, Russia, Iran. They do block commonly used VPN protocols, so people now use VPN with obfuscations. Some work, some doesn’t, some stop working as time goes. So when people say “Ha-ha, I’ll just use VPN”, it will help you for some time but the trend is they will make it a problem for you, better start preparing before it happened.

What vpn obfuscations do you use? Because you know they’ll block vpn next.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 month ago:
None of this has anything to do with Signal itself, which is as secure as it gets.
Didn’t I say that at the start of my questions? What’s your point?
server would catch and reject it if it’s fingerprints don’t match the previously known good copy, or a public version
If I understand you correctly, you mean that Signal app checks itself and sends the result to the server that can then deny access to it? Is that what Signal does and what makes it difficult to spoof this fingerprint?
I don’t think you answered any of my questions though since they weren’t about Signal.
Now you’re just coming up with weird things to justify the paranoia
I’m just asking questions about security I don’t know answers to, I’m not stating that’s how things are.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 month ago:
What if the malicious actor is not Signal but Google or the hardware manufacturer?
Can we check that the encryption key generated by the device is not stored somewhere on the device? Same for the OS.
Can we check that the app running in memory is the same that is available for reproducible build checks?
Can we check that your and my apps at the moment are the same as the one security researchers tested?
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 month ago:
More likely they just send the encryption key to the server after it’s generated.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 month ago:
Should you not also trust your device hardware, it’s os and the market you got the app from?
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 month ago:
The code can be okay but it’s delivery method(aka Google), the OS(aka Google) or the hardware can be compromised.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 month ago:
likely many other people who are more skilled at auditing cryptographic code than I am
Maybe but that doesn’t mean you have the same app they do, Google may have different apks for people who could check it and for those who won’t.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 month ago:
If it’s false
How would we know?
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 month ago:
Signal has reproducible builds and here’s the instruction how to check it on Android github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/…/README.md
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 month ago:
The only games that don’t run nowadays I think are the ones that require installing kernel malware so you might reconsider playing them regardless of your OS.

It was made default for rm command in 2006.

- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 months ago:
It’s a valid reason to not sanction the US. However no sanctions against other countries invading their neighbours suggest that just the Russian case is special.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 2 months ago:
Why? I mean if a gun could help you in that situation, some other non lethal stuff could have also been enough. At least those are enough for people not in the US facing similar situations.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 2 months ago:
There are plenty self defence tools apart from guns.
