I mean, “game cheats” might be an understatement. Bungie runs an online service, and Ring-1 is creating and selling millions of dollars worth of exploits that allow users to cheat at a game that includes financial transactions and competitive play, by exploiting the servers that run the game.

Successfully attacking their online service, while indicative of Bungie running an insecure service, would be considered a form of cybercrime, as compared to simply exploiting the game code on your machine. You can’t legally make and sell hacking tools that exploit online services.

And cheating at competitive play with real-world stakes is fraud.

Biggest plot hole in The Handmaid’s Tale is that Texas isn’t a part of Gilead.

They won’t be able to continue running their business in the US, so likely they won’t be able to continue working with US cloud providers. But there’s nothing stopping them from hosting it somewhere else and allowing US users to still connect, but all the commerce options are going to be useless at that point.

Sunologists

If you don’t really want kids or care, you have a fine compromise here, but if you are sacrificing something you want in life, you should be honest with your parents about who you are and have kids for your own sake. You’re an adult, and you shouldn’t live your life based on what your parents would approve of.

Disgusting!

Does anyone else see a vague resemblance to goatse in the map, or is it just my decades of being poisoned by the Internet?

I love how all the people stanning for this guy are doing tons of work to help identify him with shit like this. Keep it up, lol.

Man, this is an incredibly low bar for “cyberpunk”.

The electric bike has been around 128 years, and being electric isn’t even important. Guns have been around roughly a thousand years. This could have happened literally anytime in American history. The most high-tech part of this story is that it was caught on CCTV.

Wake me when someone gets poisoned by fentanyl delivered by a drone something actually cyberpunk. Like, the gun should be 3D printed, and the getaway vehicle needs to be an eVTOL for this story to be considered cyberpunk.

It’s the Niue flag.

The small number of comments like yours with extreme downvote counts against the absolute deluge of celebratory posts has me feeling pretty fucked about the entire Lemmy community. I understand people’s poor opinions of the health insurance industry, but this mass endorsement of murdering their executives is not a good turn for this community.

It doesn’t even serve our causes. It doesn’t get us any closer to universal healthcare, or price caps on lifesaving care, or healthcare ethics reforms, or any of the other things that actually need to happen.

With a second Trump term starting next month, if the accelerationist lunatics begging for more dead CEOs gets their way, you’re going to see some of the most horrific state violence imaginable as our new fascist kakistocracy zeros in on their “enemy within” boogyman.

On the note of actually giving a shit about healthcare outcomes, nobody on Lemmy seems to be organizing against the status quo. There are no communities here about unfair health insurance decisions, and medical bankruptcy. Generally speaking, Lemmy has a progressive view on healthcare, but very little interest in organizing about it materially.

But when a CEO gets murdered, the Tankies come out en masse to tell us that shooting and killing a father of 2 is actually heroism or something.

It’s just pure violent hatred, and while I understand where people’s anger comes from, I don’t think I’m going to stick around this place much longer if this kind of rhetoric is going to be treated as normal. If this is how the general userbase of Lemmy actually thinks, I’ll show myself the door and find people who aren’t pieces of shit.

Just wanted you to know, despite the downvotes you’re getting, you are completely fucking right and everyone else who has decided that this is the time to cause a scene can hopefully get banned.

its largest power plant, Antonio

Naming a power plant “Antonio” is where it’s at. We should give more buildings people names like that.

I understand that people are answering this question in good faith, but I also want to point out that the snippet at the end of the video is intended to be a citation for the content creator, and the motives for removing that part of these videos in bulk are questionable.

I can’t think of any good reasons to want to do this. I can think of a really bad one though: automated content theft.

How is this an example of failed privacy?

YouTube is a video sharing site. People pushed a button to share their videos. They wanted people to see these.

These videos aren’t much different than what you find on Facebook or Instagram today, it’s just that over the past decade people have gotten better at naming and categorizing what they post.

The real quirk here is that the app made it way too easy to upload the default filenames, so we can now search for them specifically like a little time capsule.

Why are you telling us and not showing us?

Why would this be convincing? Do cars just start doing burnouts when they’re near explosions?

This is the shittiest, fakest VFX I’ve ever seen.

No joke, having a big dick has always seemed bad. Women really only seem to like it as a novelty, but otherwise report strong dissatisfaction with an oversized partner.

Something like 7-8 inches is what most women consider ideal, with way more acceptance for smaller penises than large ones.

I guess if you want to be a fuckboy or work in porn, a monster cock might be advantageous, but my understanding is that it’s awful if you want to provide long-term sexual satisfaction to a partner.

you need to be part of an org to be a socialist

Saying shit like this makes you feel special because you can call yourself a “Real Socialist”, while gatekeeping political self-identification from anyone you feel isn’t as pure as you.

Telling me that I’m not a Socialist because I’m not a registered member of a Socialist organization doesn’t encourage me to join any organization. It encourages me to dump you and find an actual mutual ally.

Stop saying stupid exclusionary things about your left-wing allies if you want to actually have a movement capable of change. I’ll happily accept anyone who believes in Socialism as a Socialist.
