  • Yeah this is not going to result in anything good. I keep thinking about what's happened after Robert Fico got shot, basically how it's being used as a confirmation of everything bad his supporters believe about his opponents and as a justification for further sliding into authoritarianism

  • While the EU definitely does have its problems and nothing is perfect, I think that for the most part it's really been a force for good in this world, although things haven't been looking too good recently (not just the extreme right winning in the Parliament elections, but the shit eg France is doing to migrant boats etc etc). Also it's kept the Germans, French and the Brits from killing each other and/or the rest of us which has been terrific.

    Let's see how long it'll survive what with the current nationalist resurgence and all. Living in the EU now sort of feels like I'd better enjoy things while they last

  • Hah my sneaky brain edited that right out, didn't even notice until you pointed it out

  • Yeah they obviously got the Russians to help

  • That's the shit part about human memory: you never really know if you brain is lying to you or not.

    You went with your best knowledge and then changed your view when it turned out you weren't right, and that's pretty much the best anybody can do.

  • And it's usually the people with room temperature IQs (and I'm talking Celsius) calling everything AI. You know, the type who can't recognize actual AI pictures and probably also thinks the Moon landings were faked

  • 1st AI trash band!

  • And depending on your intersectionality bingo results they may already want to kill you

  • I, uh, that wasn't… it's not… I… you know what, you're right

  • I mean, they may be pictured, just before their accidents

  • Calling her a cunt is unfair: she lacks both the warmth and the depth

  • Yeah it's all about tradeoffs, really. Plate's great but it does weigh and cost more so you wouldn't see as much of it in the field – although it's not nearly as clunky as popularly portrayed because you had to be able to fight in that thing. A lot of the time throwing some mail and a gambeson on a peasant is Good Enough™ for the mass of your army

  • I definitely get what you mean, I just have no idea if antivirus tools flag anything that looks like it modifies executables. My edit to the comment you're replying to may not have propagated to your instance yet, so here's what I added:

    Do antivirus etc. tools just heuristically flag everything that looks like it modifies an executable? Lots of legitimate dev tools do that too, so it seems like it'd give a lot of false positives, but I haven't used Windows in ages so 🤷

  • they removed the pvp battle royal stuff from it and replaced it with target shooting, lol

    what

  • But you generally want that crack to do something to an executable. Do antivirus etc. tools just heuristically flag everything that looks like it modifies an executable? Lots of legitimate dev tools do that too, so it seems like it'd give a lot of false positives, but I haven't used Windows in ages so 🤷

  • They meant puncture as in stabbing the chainmail with a pointy thing vs cutting it. They do offer some protection but it's easier to get through; more force in a smaller area

  • And it was founded in Moscow by Russians, they only moved the HQ to Budapest later on

  • Exactly so.

    I remember like 20 years back when the Israelis managed to smart bomb a UN observation post in Lebanon killing a few UNTSO observers one of whom was Finnish, and the Finnish foreign minister at the time (Tuomioja) remarked something like that he doesn't understand how someone can manage to accidentally smart bomb a known UN post that's painted bright white and has "UN" written on the roof in horse-sized letters.

    The Israelis called him an antisemite.
