I haven't even needed to pirate a game in decades. Does it still work the same way?

Thepiratebay guy made an art project at one point that was a Raspberry Pi that did nothing but copy one song over and over again while keeping a running tally on a display of how much value it had "stolen" from the record industry by doing so.

One of the funnier random exchanges I've seen in SC was when someone complained in chat that he had a constant choking sound to which someone else immediately responded with, "well stop eating hot dogs like that."

I've been disturbed to see an increasing number of purple parroting character assassination points about Zelenskiy.

Yeah, just don't eat them the way they do in Star Citizen.

Anti cheat as a fundamental design does not necessarily mean no anti cheat.

He feels really safe saying these things while letting the wealthy elite in power do all the law-writing.

Good cheat prevention needs to be part of the game's fundamental design, not some virus as a band-aid.

Yes, the intended target audience is desperate addicts who can be tricked into committing a crime that doesn’t actually benefit them at all. benefits society.

FTFY

This was much more fun in the days of Fark.

It's a mirrored image of a line of MT-LBs with a crude pillbox on top, or ZU-23-2 AA guns on the back ones. I guess the pillbox is better than those awful turrets?

Not as of right now, it isn't. I was disappointed to see none when I searched.

True wisdom.

Yeah, I fell for this once a year ago and was dumbfounded to only get 480p when I paid for "UHD". Never paying again. Great job, bean counters.

Speaking of degrading search results, people have begun phrasing questions like they would search queries so much that now when you search "how to X" it seems more likely to find a person posting a question worded "how to X" than it is to find actual answers.

All I see are people talking about consumer apps that could be websites, but it's a problem in the business world, too. My small business makes a service for other small businesses and all our big competitors use apps for their system while we use a web app. Some even restrict to only iOS or Android, too. It blows our potential customers' minds when they see that ours is just a website with at least as much functionality as the competition and the ability to access it from anything.

I have no idea why anyone would do it differently as it's WAY easier/cheaper to maintain this website than deal with app ecosystems. And there simply aren't enough users in this space to merit data scraping like with consumer apps.

What is meaningful, is what I want to know.

Put that way, it sounds like blind rolls are the only way that sort of thing should be done. I like it!

Only if true, as we were discussing.

I'm pretty sure the flimsy plagiarism matter is just the lever used to oust her after her poor handling of the students calling for genocide. That looked real bad for the school in the congressional hearing. That or a way to oust her without appearing to pick a side in that whole mess.
