Do people not use Manjaro for this?

No alert development, threat hunting, or ML research? No upskilling of any kind? Must be nice to work at a company with no impact to the world when it gets popped.

My opinion is more nuanced than that and if you don’t see it, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s because you are facing a literal existential crisis because half the American government wants you dead. It’s very easy to lash out and take extreme stances when backed into a comer like this - it’s part of why I urged you to pick better battles so that you don’t alienate your allies.

I was pretty clear about Rowling being a piece of shit.

Do you pay taxes? Guess you love Nazis. Pieces of shit are everywhere and it’s not possible to boycott them all. Yes, this game is a luxury. Yes, you can still be a good person if you buy it.

Given Rowling’s existing wealth and influence I think the world is better off with the game than without it. It’s not like this marginal increase in money will allow her to create a disproportionate amount of hate she is not already doing. You are why people make fun of cancel culture. If you want allyship you should pick better battles. It’s possible to be intolerant of intolerance and still purchase this game.

And I say this as someone who never liked Harry Potter and thought the game was average (way too easy except for the very last boss fight).

You sound fun at (key signing) parties

Take unlimited water and sell it

Yea but you need the owner account to authorize the computer. So next time you upgrade or wipe your gaming rig you’d be screwed unless you find a bypass and if you’re working that hard, just have the password+mfa

It’s probably because you’ve never considered words for what you are. You’re just you, you’re “normal”. Needing a specific word for something is what “we” do for for “them” because you are the default, you don’t need qualifiers.

This is 100% a you problem lmao

If you have the PDFs of that, you can build it with two clicks in GCP

Are you saying Teslas are simple?

The problem isn’t necessarily “stuff not sent over vpn isn’t encrypted”. Everyone uses TLS. It’s more that you are no longer NATed behind the VPN egress IP. When governments want to assassinate anyone who touches a destination IP, having the true source IP instead of a VPN source IP is pretty helpful. For this to be practical you first need a botnet of compromised home routers… which they already have.

In a corporate environment, traffic that is VPN’d typically also undergoes better logging and deep packet inspection.

My Asus motherboard started bluescreening Windows. After a lot of effort I traced it down to a specific device ID that windows was loading firmware for. No matter what I tried I couldn’t get this auto installation to stop. It was a totally random component that added nothing I could tell.

Asus refused to release new firmware be cause the motherboard was “unsupported” even though the box etc has stickers saying it supports windows 10.

After a ton more effort I figured out how to make some low end api calls that eventually stopped this auto installation. It was mostly reliable. I got to crack a lot of jokes to my friends about my motherboard not supporting windows but it was a really hard period for me particularly because Linux gaming wasn’t as strong as it is today. I was really big into league of legends at the time and this experience forced me to quit, losing touch with many friends in the process.

My point was related to people that like the art, since there’s much less incentive to buy the game if you don’t like the world it’s build from.

Rowling didn’t create the game, dude. She just gets a cut of the money. You think everyone in the dev team feels that way? Are we just supposed to not get a game set in a beloved universe because the person who owns the IP is a piece of shit?

At this stage it might even be too crazy to say that she’s so rich that the money she’s getting from this game is a drop in the bucket and has no practical negative impact on society. She will have the same influence with or without it, so might as well buy the game.

If you agree the system is broken I encourage you to reconsider your prior statements about the rich not paying their fair share.

Rich people do a variety of shady stuff and keep it hidden (Panama papers), I wouldn’t trust your lack of data points to mean it isn’t a pervasive problem.

I wouldn’t be surprised if those loans are repaid without realizing the gain of the collateral. Step-up basis is a huge tax dodge, and tax dodge is theft from all the people who would benefit from the things those taxes could pay for.

The way the rich use loans as income is unfair. Therefore the rich do not pay their fair share.

“buy borrow die” is totally income, dude. It’s just not taxed, and step-up basis makes it worse.

The net worth is used to fund everyday expenses, it is effectively income.

The only reason I was able to catch the drunk driver who hit me was because of their front plate.
