  • where do people with pirated copies of games meet to play online together ?

    Jump

  • the goldberg-steamcrack supports multiplayer. https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator

    I only tested it in lan, and it works great. Not sure if it works online, too. You may need hamachi.

    And of course: online multiplayer with randos is probably not worth it, as others have pointed out. On one hands it's probably a bitch to set up. On the other cheating is probably rampant.

  • Just one more lane

  • But only temporarily

    but is it?

    I thought the temporal improvement would be for everyone who already used the high way (because they will get to their destination a little bit faster). And for the few extra people, who start to use the highway but didn't use it before, the improvment will stay.

    Jump

  • When you add a new lane to a road, people think that the traffic will be easier there, so they take that route instead of their normal one

    so for these people the new lane will create marginal improvement, right?

  • European Police Chiefs call for industry and governments to take action against end-to-end encryption roll-out

  • is this declaration about e2e in general, or is there a specific new rollout they are referencing?

    Jump

  • Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of law enforcement, where criminals can communicate safely and child abuse can flourish.

    I am pretty sure, churches were "tolerated spaces" bevor e2ee was a thing.

  • the fact that a system eventually becomes complex and flawed is not due to engineering failures - it is inherent in the nature of changing systems

    it is not. It's just that there will be some point, where you need significant effort to keep the systems structure up to the new demands {1}. I find the debt-metaphor is quite apt [2]: In your scenario the debt accumulates until it's easier to start fresh. But you can also manage your debt and keep going indefinitily. But in contrast to financial debt, paying of technical debt is much less obvious. First of all it is pretty much impossible to put any kind of exact number on it. On the other hand, it's very hard to tell what you actually should do to pay it off. (tangent: This is why experienced engineers are worth so much: (among other things) they have seen how debt evolves over time, and may see the early signs).

  • Heartbleed and XZ Backdoor Learnings: Open Source Infrastructure Can Be Improved Efficiently With Moderate Funding

    Jump

  • it's safe to assume there are similar issues in closed source. A big part of the snowden leaks was about how NSA could access lots of data at will. It wouldn't surprise me if they also could execute code.

    Also there is stuxnet. But I am not sure, if there were intentional backdoors, or only some "natural occuring" RCE.

  • These are not the only two knee surgeries that exist, by any stretch.

    If I was talking about every single kind of knee surgery, I would have said so.

    This should be the end of it, but you went on and constructed a personal attack from your faulty assumptions. I think that merrits some more "defense" on my part.

    When there is a statement without an explicit quantifier, the quantifier becomes ambiguous. Assuming the all-quantifier in this case was your personal decision. Since you construct an insulting argument from this faulty and intentional assumption, I can only assume malice. If the ambiguity was a problem, you could have simple asked. Or better yet: Do what everyone else did and click the link. If you still thought, the ambiguity was an issue, you could have just pointed it out, instead of making an insult out of it.

    Please don’t spread medical misinformation

    Tell that to someone who actually spreads medical misinformation. Not only was my joke correct, I even provided a credible source, which is far beyond what you can expect from a comment on a shitposting community.

    it’s not helpful

    the information, that many knee-surgeries only work through placebo-effect is very helpful. In fact my simplified and sensational (and true) claim probably made many people click on the link, which helped spread the message even further.

    Also I think it sets a good example to provide sources for all interesting claims, even if it is on a shitposting sub.

  • KDE on steamdeck, because it came preinstalled

    also gnome on notebook, because the multi-workspace thing works very nice OOTB in gnome
