Water is wet, violets are blue, Rust is a troonslop language. Like it wasn't common knowledge for a long time by now.

[The Lunduke Journal @LundukeJournal]

Rust programmers are over 800% more likely to be “Trans” than the average populace (and over 500% more likely to be “Trans” than programmers in general).

7.72% of all Rust programmers, according to the most recent Rust Survey, self identify as “Trans”.

I've always told people to be cautious of the AUR and tried to use it as little as possible. Over the last few months, 5 of the packages I still had were completely replaced and manually installed from source.

But AUR isn't unique, the same attacks may and do affect ALL sources.

Another wave of AUR malware might be coming

I hate Miscroslop and Gates's whole family. But that's some serious mental gymnastics to call it their fault.

What's next, if someone builds Africans a bridge and it's their fault they've decided it would be funny to start jumping from it?

Bill Gates “saved” Africa… by DESTROYING their food supply 🚨

Forrest Galante: “I’m going to go on a f-ing rant here.

They gave millions of mosquito nets out to all these people to avoid malaria. Guess what the people who are starving to death did with their mosquito nets. They fished with them.

Mosquito net has a hole that is so small that a mosquito can’t get through. So guess what? These mosquito nets now indiscriminately catch tiny baby fish in areas like Cahora Bassa where the fish go to breed and reproduce and populate. So now all of a sudden you have thousands and thousands of people that have been handed nets that have been living one way for hundreds of thousands of years. They don’t give a shit about malaria.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation come in, hand out millions of mosquito nets, absolutely collapse the entire population of fish that feed millions of people because these people just take the nets and fish all the baby fish out so that those fish don’t grow up to make substantial protein sources. So now these wonderful philanthropists that have given out millions of nets have destroyed an ecosystem, crashed a fish population, and created widespread hunger for people that otherwise had plenty of resources. All because they were trying to help with their mosquito nets.

They’ve taken such a rich and important part of Africa, one of the most abundant freshwater fisheries in the world, and destroyed it because they’re ‘helping’ by handing out mosquito nets.

And they’re still giving out mosquito nets, by the way. And you literally watch these guys line up, take a mosquito net, and it never goes in their house. It goes straight to catching fish for them to eat.”

@uisbg1 If those projects are for the sake of increasing taxes or more government spyware with telemetry shoved everywhere, then I think all of them hit it even ahead of time.

Korra fans also usually build their entire personality around being fatherless and their desire to get AIDS from sexual debauchery.

[NotOk @NotOkN1]

Korra fans have the worst rebuttals I've ever seen, possibly the lowest IQ fandom of all time.

Cool strawman. Gamers thinking that you're a dishonest prick and that the Industry™ has bloated, inefficient budgets is the Industry™'s problem, not the consumers.

And If we're not intentionally playing dumb like you are, it is the problem of specific members of the industry.

[David Jaffe @davidscottjaffe]

Gamers thinking I said games SHOULD be $300+ million or NEED to be $300 million or that the majority of the NO DISC/NO BUY crowd demands $300 million dollar games concerns me.

Because these same people vote :(...

@thegawlonu @KShmakin61852 @Nitroid Most of the companies need none of the overhead the cloud provides.

Cloud back ups are far less reliable than on-prem solutions.

SLAs are a joke.

And for the big ones like Sony it's always cheaper to have on-prem than cloud.

Piracy isn't just morally right, but also a more secure option that makes you safe from the corporate malware and spyware.

[IT Guy @T3chFalcon]

Let me tell you about the time Sony put malware on 22 million music CDs.

Sony the corporation, on purpose.

2005. you buy a CD at a music store. you get home. you put it in your computer. Windows autorun kicks in.

Sony's software silently installs a rootkit on your system. It hides itself using the same techniques professional malware uses to evade detection. it runs constantly in the background. it phones home to Sony with information about what you're listening to.

and it cannot be uninstalled.

The removal tool Sony eventually released to fix it required your email address and installed additional software that introduced further vulnerabilities. the fix was worse than the rootkit.

A security researcher named Mark Russinovich found it on Halloween 2005. published his findings. the internet erupted.

Sony's President of Global Digital Business responded: "most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"

things then got worse:
other malware authors discovered that anything hidden using Sony's rootkit technique became invisible to antivirus software too. they started hiding their own malware inside the same hidden directory. Sony had accidentally created the perfect malware concealment system and shipped it to 22 million people.

50 artists had CDs with the rootkit. Celine Dion. Neil Diamond. Santana. none of them knew.

Van Zant's album that started the whole investigation ranked 887 on Amazon. after reviews warned about the rootkit it dropped to 25,802 in three weeks.

Sony recalled the CDs. settled with the FTC. paid millions. Mark Russinovich became CTO of Microsoft Azure.

the rootkit is the reason we now consider autorun a security risk.

Sony shipped malware to protect music.

the malware protected nothing.

the music got pirated anyway.

That's a lot of the cultural coprophiles watching this abomination of the film industry.

@uisbg1 Not only that, also because he's polish and thus by the definition is coping and seething from anything related to the Russian Empire.

10 years, and No Mans Sky is still boring slop of half-baked mechanics in one of the most sleep-inducing sandbox open worlds.

Like, each and every update you've made was only a further disappointment.

And on top of the speed of light, there's inevitable additional overhead from the entire network infrastructure - from your router, to your ISP's entire network, to the backbone provider(s), to the data center's networking stack. Both software- and hardware-wise.

[Orche @O_Orche]

Why am I not surprised that Google's services are so abysmally bad when their "researchers" are posting nonsense so bad it's getting community noted.
You'd better not skip your physics/network classes - the speed of light makes it impossible for cloud gaming to have low latency.

[LaurieWired @lauriewired]

1. it's literally often lower latency than a PHYSICAL console in your house, see the chart I posted.

2. you should use the same logic towards streaming of video media. distribution of control, DRM, forced updates etc apply just as easily to netflix/hulu/etc, yet the *average* person vastly prefers streamed media over the inconveniences physical ownership

Just as 90% of households don't own physical blurays +bluray players anymore, I'd expect 90% of households to not own physical consoles in the future.

And a product for the engagement farmers who copy-paste the same bullshit over and over again, or ragebait for the sake of higher activity statistics, which in the end also turns into ad revenue or assists them in selling their usual scam/snake oil/etc.

[Orche @O_Orche]

Social networks must have a button: ban all engagement farming accounts at once and continually ban all the new ones.

That would be something worth paying a subscription for, along with no ads.

[Orche @O_Orche]

I'd prefer far more the social network and communication itself being a product.
Instead of as it's now, where I'm a product for both platform owners, who are fine even with literal bot farms as long as it's inflating their virtual number of views and makes it easier to sell ads
