the fact that i was paywalled trying to read this pretty much says all one needs to know about where such a sentiment could be coming from. HMMMMMMMM

we… we have Steam, Google. you are attempting to compete with Steam with mobile games.
it’s like trying to enter a go-kart into a Nascar race and asking who wants to sponsor…
not reliable, even if it should be. i’ve seen updates replace the file in a way that clears the read-only flag. same with other clever tricks like making it a symlink.
Unown!!! so many possibilities there, or just pick some random ones.
putting aside the ethics of DRM in general (ew) and that this developer has already made a fortune on a mod virtually unequaled… my biggest problem with this kind of thing is that bugs happen. “mines” implies that the goal will be to do something malicious to pirates. so what happens when there’s a bug in the detection code, or in the auth server, or when you didn’t test it on some specific quirky hardware-software combo, or when a cosmic ray strikes the RAM stick and flips the wrong bit?
a paying customer gets fucked – or a lot of them do. all for the petty greed of someone who can’t envision the obvious fact that the actual pirates will just fuzz your bomb logic and patch it out within two days.
i see this as an absolute win.
the big feature i use from premium is the ability to use hardware 2fa. i use a Yubikey to secure it further. worth the peace of mind imo, and Bitwarden has never once failed me in the years i’ve been using it!
i think the issue with this is that it doesn’t carry the broadness of ‘queer.’ it lists gender, sexuality, romantic minorities… and nothing else. there are things typically thought of as ‘queer’ that are not strictly one of those three things.
you may be interested in the open-source “Home Assistant”. it’s a free home automation hub thingy that supports practically every brand and protocol out there, including Shelly. if you’re technical enough to set it up, free yourself from proprietary apps!
kindly grow up. people are allowed to like different things than you.
this is absolutely justified. my company switched from Slack (which we all largely enjoyed using) to the bundled Teams (which causes problems all day every day for everyone) solely because they were already paying for Office and Teams was free.
on the other hand, i can’t imagine how much money we’re losing from the lost productivity…
for anyone who was hoping to have fun with this, i regret to inform you that this is from back in February, which may as well be the 1990s in AI development time. none of this works on the current ChatGPT, and the nature of the problem is more well-known to researchers.
i want to emigrate to Equestria!!! 🥺
