Still don’t understand wtf do you want people to do with Tor if Tor itself gets blocked (yes, their obfuscation methods are also very trivial to block), not to mention the reality of some countries not allowing any cross border traffic.

You didn’t come up with the name and it’s perfectly realistic to imagine more than 1 person coming up with a similar idea based on the same concept. Even if someone “stole” your idea - do it better than them and you’ll have nothing to worry about. I’d be more understanding of your concern if a big AAA studio happened to make this release so close to yours, but even then not much you can do due to aforementioned reasons. And while Steam lets you use any name you want, even if it’s already taken, it will put your game first on the search list if more people interact with it, which will naturally happen if your game is good.

Slop detectors might as well be random number generators, it will never give you 0% because it’s slop in and of itself.

Quite literally the plot of Altered Carbon

If you observed anything the right wingers did in the last few years, you’d know they already are doing that themselves. Vance literally wore his South Park baby face photoshop for Halloween. They are perfectly ok with everything you listed, in fact they believe it’s a huge own that it bothers you and they get away with it. Trump said he could shoot anyone in the middle of the street and not lose any votes the first time around, this time he could literally nuke the US and still keep his voters.

Unless there’s also a flawless system that can decide what is and isn’t AI generated, it will just be used to shut down anything anti government, while keeping pro government slop up. The way EU did it sounds better, but could still be abused in the same manner - just take down anything the government doesn’t like and say it was because they didn’t label it as AI generated, have fun going through the court system trying to prove it wasn’t.

Don’t recommend Mullvad Browser to people who just want a regular daily driver browser unless you want them to freak out and never try anything again.

To anyone uniformed - Mullvad Browser, while technically Firefox based, is actually a fork of Tor, and by default wipes everything on exit, as well as expects users not to tinker with it or install any addons to avoid fingerprinting.

When they say “console exclusive”, they mean among the consoles it will exclusively arrive on Xbox and nothing else.

I mean specifically the sequel(s). The current game I would’ve already gotten if I didn’t have to spend money on something else, but still intending to buy it some time later, looks fun and pretty much exactly what I expected.

And I won’t be buying it then. Great job whoever decided this, saves me 70€ 🙂

Steam lets publishers include Steam keys if they don’t sell them for cheaper than on Steam.

Then how come official retailers like GMG are consistently able to sell Steam keys at 10% discount for nearly every new AAA release on launch?

Except the way it’s done means everyone on the internet is by default a child, including the pedophiles. There isn’t a single purpose for the age checks, it’s useful for (wannabe) authoritarians, its profitable for the companies, it’s convenient for child abusers, it’s data galore for 3 letter agencies etc. The current big wave of it is known to be sponsored by the american megacorpos, so pretty much all the reasons apply.

See you in a year or 2.

Play as old as times:

1. Company announces garbage change
2. People freak out
3. Company says ok we will only do half of the garbage
4. People calm down and forget
5. Company later does the rest of the garbage
6. Nobody cares because half of it is already there

Same way you’d use a phone that’s EOL. Even my old ass EOL router still held up because it accepted no incoming calls as if it wasn’t even there. Any other more involved attack vectors would probably fall outside of scope for the people potentially targeting an average person. Where the real danger lies with outdated systems, especially W10 while it’s still fairly fresh, is user error - visit the wrong link or download a wrong file and you are in the world of pain.

I don’t know you so I can’t tell you how to feel, but I can share how I see it - you can die literally any time, so what’s the rush? Might as well keep going on and see where it takes you. There will always be moments when you feel like shit, but when you’re dead - there won’t be any moments at all.

To answer your question - if it’s real bad then try seeking professional help, regular people are simply not well equipped for dealing with mental crises and could accidentally make things even worse. Otherwise on an “easier said than done” side - learn to be self sufficient, have hobbies, do things you enjoy just because you enjoy it and people will naturally gravitate towards you, you’ll get to know more people who can become real friends and you wouldn’t feel as lonely anymore, and if not - you will no longer depend on others so much that bad moments turn into tragedies.

Shouldn’t that be insanely illegal? This is literally malware. Even if someone is outright hacking into your servers, you can’t just hack back and ruin their system. There’s a reason the legal side is not supposed to resort to illegal actions, the fuck.

They don’t block it for logged in users yet, just like reddit, but if you are logged out and have no cookies then they will block the playback for known VPN IPs.

Would that even help? Windows malware can run on Linux precisely thanks to Wine and Proton.

I don’t believe in “just upgrading” at this point. If you built your PC with efficiency in mind, there’s like nothing you can even “upgrade”. Anything I can think of will get outdated by the time you need the next thing. A new GPU? Oh, you are still on Gen3… that means a new motherboard. Updating from AM4 to AM…4? Nah that feels like bad value, but AM5 requires DDR5, both of which have already been out for almost 5 years and will likely get replaced in a year or 2. Upgrading RAM? Again, just bumping DDR4 for a marginally better/larger cap DDR4 feels like bad value and unwarranted. Storage? Whoops, your old motherboard doesn’t support NVMe booting and it’s BIOS hasn’t been touched in over 5 years! You are lucky if you even have an M.2 slot.

And believe it or not, these prices are not even the worst they’ve ever been, so might as well just get a new PC every 5 or so years, maybe keep your old storage, CPU cooler, PSU and case, but that’s about it.
