“The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.”

― H.L. Mencken

@RockstarSupport @RockstarSupport I presume that's the end of the conversation?

Thanks for your help, I guess.

(and they wonder why removal of DRM is so rampant)

@RockstarSupport hi. I bought a copy of GTA 4 in 2014 through @Steam. In 2025 you won't allow me to play it because I can't receive an email 2FA on an address I no longer have, because at some point (according to my records) in 2020 you forced me to sign up to your "Social Club"

[Ed @Ed_Geraghty]

@RockstarSupport @RockstarSupport tried that several times now. Apparently I can't prove that I own the email address that doesn't exist any more, despite having the game in my Steam Library and having a purchase receipt of it.

Calculators are hard.

"A calculator app? Anyone could make that."

Not true.

A calculator should show you the result of the mathematical expression you entered. That's much, much harder than it sounds.

What I'm about to tell you is the greatest calculator app development story ever told.

@DarkWebInformer I still have the CD from the front of a magazine with a free Win 95 trial somewhere 🫣

[Dark Web Informer @DarkWebInformer]

It's 1996 and you startup Windows 95

@sam_phisher @flydotio Me looking at the logs

[Ed @Ed_Geraghty]

Could someone better at computers than me explain how I'm supposed to read this graph from @flydotio?

I've never seen HTTP Status Code metrics done on a 0.0-1.0 averaged scale before :/

This data is used by campaigning orgs to make the case for assisted dying.

But the paper shows that suicide in severe physical illness is a *diagnosis-related* phenomenon NOT a dying-related phenomenon. Perverse to use this data to call for AD.

[The Spectator @spectator]

Is gender identity a political matter, or an individual one?

Stonewall co-founder Simon Fanshawe on the problem transferring gender non-comformity into policy: ‘You can’t impose that on the material reality of other people.’

Now he has gone too far 😳

@therealshodan Yeah, they shot themselves in the foot with NDAs and changing their shrink-wrap every couple of months

@vxunderground @Andrew___Morris The fact that he dropped you $500 knowing he'd get roasted for it is all I needed to tell me he's a good egg :)

I'm just ribbing
