is “easy anti-cheat” a brand name? Or was that just your wording?

You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.
Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid slash desperate slash addicted some gamers are, doesn’t it?
Only if those other partitions are not encrypted. Sure, it could still wipe them - but that’s something that backups are good for, and something you would certainly notice immediately :)
I noticed they seem to be intentionally locking out smaller domains and I hope that backfires. Not holding my breath though.
Ah, I see. A youngling who never heard of the usenet.
Wow. This is absolutely awesome work. Kudos to The Yes Men. Fuck megacorporations and fuck this dystopian capitalism we live in.
Thank you for this great illustration, and I am all for it (culture jamming) if that’s how it’s done properly.
Thank you - but I am somewhat oblivious how the poster that mentioned this term thought that this would “get your account banned” fast.
Thanks! I could have sworn it had a relation with Perry Rhodan - and sure enough the printhouse is Pabel / Rastatt, same as for Perry Rhodan - they probably shared illustrators who worked for commission across different novels :)
just quote one here, or make one up. I also am curious to know what “culture jamming” even means.
*nucular. It’s (pronounced) nucular :D
Interesting read but I’d argue a fish is a concept by characteristics, not considered a biological classification. Much like mammals.
Fish: has scales and fins and a swim bladder and gills. Sharks are not easy to classify as fish, and whales certainly are not.
Again, thanks for the article, it was interesting to read indeed.
german people have large privacy and date security fears. This has kept them off of many other platforms. Most people in my friends circle never had a MySpace / Facebook… Being in an anonymous space like here is nice.
While this is true for me(*) - partially, it’s not a fear, it’s a certainty that my data is not secure anywhere online - I would be positively surprised (but kind of doubt that) if younger people actually think consciously about their online privacy.
* never had myspace, deleted all my facebook posts, comments, contacts & then account in 2012 when they changed the terms & conditions to own everything you upload - and before then I had never used my real last name there
Thank you for the summary! I found myself in OP. I am eating mostly vegan, and I have a cat, and I believe people who force a vegan (or even vegetarian) diet on their cats need mental help.
I guess I should have clarified in my original comment that I was exaggerating - obviously, C++ doesn’t get as bad as python, not even into the same ballpark.
My emphasis was on “don’t use C++ like you would python” because that’s not good advice imo.
Importing CSV into SQL is trivial and gives you far more control than Excel can.
Not quite, but smart pointers in the wrong location can be quite wasteful in terms of CPU cycles.
There’s a tool for a given job. And for some, Excel may be decent. But for many, MS Access used to be far superior to Excel. Not sure if it is still maintained well, as I no longer use MicroShit
But, if you’re a power user doing a lot of complex data analytics, Excel is still the king.
Only if you refuse to learn SQL and do everything in a fraction of the time with way more functionality.
That’s a cuttlefish though, and despite the name is not a fish.
Well - if people still trust any piece of software coming from Epic…
