But if a police officer were to remove your phone by force, first it would be illegal without a warrant so it would almost made you a favour as all evidence in your phone would be invalid in court.

Even if what they find on your phone isn't valid in court, it can still lead them to other things that are valid. For instance, a picture taken at a specific place with a timestamp. That picture may not be admissible, but if they find CCTV footage of you at that time and place, you're screwed.

Cops can and will overreach their powers, and they'll probably get away with it.

Even locked if they want the info in your phone they are probably getting it. They would have access to some of the best forensics teams and equipment.

Sure, but it's a lot harder for them if your phone is encrypted and shut off before you encounter them.

Following the same logic, should we never have an unlocked phone near a police officer? I don’t know about that.

You really shouldn't. Cops are never on your side.

Does your phone need to be unlocked to show that qr code?

But I’m not voting for her.

This you?

I'm too lazy and incompetent at statistics to do the math, but survivorship bias is very much relevant here.

Turns out, if you build something that isn't a bunch of stones in an organized stack, it won't last thousands of years like the organized stone stacks.

Back in the day, there were cheats in computer magazines, a sequence of key presses that would give you loads of lives or money or bullets or whatever. I used those an loved em.

I still use those for my Nintendo DS. My dad had an extension card for his Sega genesis that did the same.

Cheats like that are as old as games themselves, and they're not going to be going anywhere any time soon.

It's just that now we have online versions, and if you're on PC you can edit any memory address you like, directly, with any value you like.

Of course, you're welcome

Aside from it being code you don’t want on your machine. I dunno, I don’t get why people cheat. Isn’t it a better feeling when you just play and get good?

I've done some cheating on GTAO, so I can speak to this a bit.

For me, the next biggest reason after the one you listed is that their game is grindy as fuck. I want to be able to play with the cool vehicles and toys in the game, but they're locked behind hours and hours of grinding, even just for a single item. I understand some people like that, but it's not for me. But it's also not just grinding that's the problem. Their loading screens in the game are frequent, slow (1-5 minute of loading each), and are filled with shitty crews that make it impossible to do the missions.

So back when I used to play I had a script that would just give me shit loads of money. I could buy what I wanted, have fun, and move on. Games are for fun, not for feeling like they're a second job.

What's worse, is that Rockstar intentionally makes it grindy so you're motivated to steal your mom's credit cards and use real world money to buy fake world money that lasts you about 20 minutes. It's very scummy behavior, and cheating is a way to get around that.

The script kiddies that just like to fuck with other people are a whole other can of worms. Those people can get bent.

I agree that it's a stupid ass decision/strategy. But you can't ignore other parts of the context.

right at a time when their platform is making a swing to the right.

It's also right at a time when the conservatives have been at an all time high with their open fervor for fascism.

The real question is why the Democrats have suddenly decided they are an unacceptable threat, despite their declining registrations numbers.

Because the polling is currently a toss up between Trump and Harris. And the closer the race, the easier it is for spoiler candidates to spoil the vote. Hence the panic.

Freetube is still working on my machine as of today for what it's worth.

Or use freetube/new pipe

That lesson/related lesson:

We cannot accept capitalism’s conception of economic relations as “free and private,” because contracts are not made among economic equals and because they give rise to social structures which undemocratically confer power upon some over others. Such relationships are undemocratic in that the citizens involved have not freely deliberated upon the structure of those institutions and how social roles should be distributed within them (e.g., the relationship between capital and labor in the workplace or men and women in child rearing).

Nobody said anything about that.

I already explained to you why that's bullshit. I can only assume that because you're bringing it up again 4 days later, that your intention is to waste my time.

Thank you, I'm glad somebody understands.

I was very clearly referencing the post. You didn't need to read my mind.

You know what I meant, relax

Absolutely. But the polling, news, etc is meaningless.

Everybody needs to go out and vote, and make sure they're registered.

Sure, but would it be possible to artificially simulate a daylight cycle indoors, opposite of the outside one?

Sure, you wouldn't be able to go outside very much, but you'd at least have your active hours in the coolest part of the day.

Add in a bit of of CRISPR to smooth out the rough edges, would it be enough then?
