Malware Anticheat can even tell if it’s running in a VM explicitly configured to look like real hardware, so it’s probably not trivial at all to accomplish this. Like someone else said in another comment chain, the ideal solution is Microsoft patching the intentional security flaw that allows kernel-level access at all. No kernel-level cheats, no kernel-level anticheats, no incompatibility. But if course it’s against their monopolistic interests to do so evennifnit benefits everybody else but them.

It’s the sequel to Shooty Guns (1992), one of the first games to come in two deparate floppy disks.

Actually, once you go far enough into the past, Linux has better support for legacy Windows software than modern Windows does. The claim might be true if they’re counting a lot of shovelware.

Nit having Malware Anti-Cheat support is a good thing. Hopefully it will continue this way until people realize that it’s not worth giving shitty companies like EA access to your online banking passwords just to pretend to shoot 11-year-olds in the head.

They would be required to comply with the current administration’s extremely biased and borderline illiterate interpretation of those laws.

Fuck yes, Python.

What’s the intended functionality of an oven with wifi? Replacing an egg timer with push notifications?

Your last sentence kind of defeats the entire rest of your comment. If it’s just suppposed to be a built-in screen for following recipes in your kitchen, it’s better to get a cheap tablet because you can also use it elsewhere for other things.

- Comment on Windows will soon prompt for memory scans after BSOD crashes 4 days ago:
Nice, now they just need to fake a crash at convenient times, wh8ch they’ll know thanks to Recall, and they can steal literally any data you have in RAM. Passwords, the unencrypted content of any encrypted file you may have opem, you name it.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 3 weeks ago:
They won’t fuck this up YET. If AppManager doesn’t currently use ADB to install APKs, it van be made to. So can any F-Droid or Aurora Store client.
However, I’d say that the odds that Google will stop at this certificate demand and will not eventually try to paywall ADB somehow are currently 0% in my estimation.

It’s still better for people overall if the parasites take larger sums from fewer willing idiots compared to them taking less each from more people, even if their bottom line is unaffected.

Because people are idiots and value convenience over every other factor when voting with their wallets.

Depends on how you want to do it: via a VPN like Tailscale, Cloudflare tunnel, etc.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 1 month ago:
And the gratuitous association between random brand X and random hot person Y surely also serves a purpose, like subliminally telling your lizard brain that you’ll become like hot person Y, or succeed in mating with them, if you buy brand X. That explains the problem, but does nothing to make it less of a problem.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 1 month ago:
Volume is the biggest problem, sure. Content is a close second. I was flabbergasted last time I was in the USA. Ads have barely any relation to what they’re selling.
A poster for shoes features a full-body shot of a half-naked model, the shoes barely visible with the whole poster within your visual field at once.
Ads for beer, travel agencies, clothes and antidepressant medicine, which should be illegal to advertise, by the way, are indistinguishable from each other: just a few happy 20-somethings in a nonspecific late afternoon outdoors setting.
A bunch of ads I saw I don’t even know what they were for, they just had hot young people and logos for companies I never heard of.
Several ads purporting to sell an “experience” when they were for the most mundane, use-it-on-autopilot products you’ve ever heard of. The products were so forgettable I can’t remember an actual example, but picture an ad selling you on the wonderful experience of using the new ad-supported monthly coat hanger subscription service and you’ve got it.
Ads for lawyers (something else that should be illegal) were on point though: “hey, do you want money you know you don’t deserve at all but can be argued in bad faith that you do? Hit me up”.

It works on 99% of consumers. As long as prevebting the ebshittification from stealing your data requires effort and knowledge, this will continue to be the case. Hence the arms race between enshittifiers and human beings.

Brazilian here. We’re pretty happy. I personally had lost all faith in our Justice system so I’m very pleasantly surprised that Tropical Trump got convicted. To my brethren up north, don’t stop fighting the good fight! There is still hope!
