Kinda like how software crackers have a pirated version of a game ready to go within hours, regardless of the encryption.
I guess that does make sense.

That came to mind, too. If this shit isn’t open source it is not worth spit.

This is something I wish cyberpunk media touched more on.
One thing I always thought about when playing cyberpunk 2077 is why wouldn’t companies have a failsafe for their equipment being used against them. In the game, you can use cyber decks from Arisaka and Militech and be able to hack and assault their infrastructure and employees with impunity.
I am not really sure companies would allow that…
- Comment on I investigated millions of tweets from the Kremlin’s ‘troll factory’ and discovered classic propaganda techniques reimagined for the social media age. 1 month ago:
They NEED shit like that to exist. Bullshit needs more bullshit to survive. This is why despite murdering countless people and endless campaigns funded by billions of dollars there are still leftist movements that won’t die.

Didn’t the triangle waistshirt fire happen because the employers were fucking assholes and locked the fire escapes? This is like that, but with water instead of fire.
- Comment on Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed 1 month ago:
This is why I still download movies and try to keep them. They make up the bulk of the crap I keep on my hard drives.
And there was a time when the computer science world wanted to avoid this… and it was 1990 (yes, almost 35 years ago) when the term digital dark age was coined. It was in response to several things. Firstly: the first voyager probe was sent and the code used to store the information could not be disciphered by (then) the latest computers, which resulted in a problem. The second thing is that governments all around the world were starting to be heavily computerized and the older computers used in the 1960s were 100% incompatible with newer systems.
In the US and UK in 1960 the first census were done by computers, and by just 1976 there were only two computers in the world that could read that data, and one of them was a museum piece.
The FOSS community has done far more to combat this with emulation over the past 30 years than any corporation has ever done. Whether it is for video games like MAME, MESS, or whatever console emulator you want to mention, or by OSes like MS-DOS and Amiga Lemon and countless others that emulate almost every system ever created.
Now these fucks are just shitting all streaming media and forcing normal people to have to break the law by pirating the stuff just to keep the stuff from vanishing into oblivion.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 1 month ago:
My first thought is ‘I can’t wait for it to turn zero’ but then I realize that 79% decline from 44 billion still means it is worth 9.24 billion.
And that is still a shitload of money.

The Lebanon subreddit might as well be a zionist propaganda reddit.
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 1 month ago:
I didnt think about that. Thank you for telling me that.
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 1 month ago:
Let me reword what I wrote since I think I wasn’t clear.
When I said I am glad this is happening, I mean I am glad that the workers are standing up to Amazon by quitting and heading to a different company. And by ‘fuck em’’ I was referring to Amazon and other employers who want undue influence on the lives of their employees.
I am 100% on the side of the workers here. Always have and always will be.

I am glad this is happening. Fuck these people. Fuck em’ hard.
- Comment on Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops 1 month ago:
Yeah I remember the early days of the internet when no one used their real name and we had relationships with dozens of people who we had no idea where they lived and what their real names were.
It seems quaint, but I kinda liked it like that.

Being poor is expensive as hell. Ironically being richer makes things around you cheaper.

- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 2 months ago:
That’s hilarious that they ignore obvious trolls or psychos. The people who got me banned were trolling in the Lebanese subreddit and basically calling all the civilians killed by Israel completely justified. He also accused all Lebanese of being super antisemitic. The comment that got me banned is a statement that this is not true, and we only blame Israel for what Israel is worthy of blame for.
That… apparently was a call for violence on marginalized groups… yeah. Insane troll logic.

I got permabanned from reddit by zionists for calling out their bullshit and saying that Netenyahu should face harsh legal consequences.
