Man, I wish. The problem nowadays is that denuvo is actually effective - many titles that are rather popular but have denuvo DRM haven’t been cracked for years at this point, so the only practical choice is to wait for years until those game companies stop their contract subscriptions and DRM gets removed.

There’s pretty much only two ways you can go about it in my experience:

1. Fail forwards and try cobbling something together, constantly using search engines to fix errors or finding libraries or getting help with those libraries. One thing you’d have to figure out is an order of operations - what do you code and in what order, which might be tough for someone new but I’d say it’s well worth it.

2. Find some tutorial to a project and try following it (those that have step by step guide on what you should do without letting you copy paste code), then using the knowledge you gain to do the way #1 above to hopefully have an easier time figuring out the order of operations, plan out your program and what you’re gonna be coding.

Don’t think you can avoid getting hands-on and coding something up by yourself. General coding tutorials can only get you so far and are often harmful if abused too much (aka being stuck in tutorial hell).

Wonder if that’s the “alienation of labor” thing Marx was talking about

Windows has a better initial setup. Often, when installing a new distro I gotta spend a couple of hours installing, troubleshooting and customizing what I need on Linux (even on beginner distros) while on Windows, you just install it, download a couple of apps from the web and restart to catch up on updates.

they probably meant web versions of the app that run both on chromium and gecko (firefox) browser engines

Here’s something about American politics to provoke a lot of people, especially on this site:

Donald Trump should be elected in 2024 purely to serve as an exam to the left. Liberalism clearly doesn’t work anymore, there’s a lot of discontent in the world and a shift towards far-right politics, while left is almost non-existent in almost any country, it doesn’t have an answer. With Donald Trump getting elected for his revenge term and demolishing democracy, hopefully it’s a catastrophe strong enough for the left to wake up.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon - a pretty good FOSS roguelike, gets updated every month or so. Can be a bit hard to learn and beat the game for the first time but trying to go farther and farther each run is really fun.

wasn’t there some drama where some other cracker group exposed “her” as being some bulgarian dude?

I would usually have issues with my wi-fi, where the connection after a reboot won’t work and the wi-fi GUI would reset itself everytime i tried. Network troubleshooter would fix it 100% every time and quite quickly, so there was no reason to actually figure out what was at fault.

Surprised to see JS so high up, I expected for it to be much closer to PHP.

I’m someone who doesn’t consent to data collection when it comes to choices given by GDPR - if I visit a new website and I get the popup that says how they value my privacy, I’m always going to customize the settings and have everything disabled.

However, as of “recently” a lot of websites have added a “legitimate interest” button which as far as I understand is a loophole, and unlike the other advertising options, they’re not checked off by default which is annoying.

I think they were/are getting funding from some US military defense sector, the same one that was funding a lot of pro-american propaganda films. So even without taking the actual campaign/story of COD games into consideration, it’s definitely in their interest to make a propaganda game.

I use the same wired earbuds on my desktop PC and on the go, so yes.

I think this only applies to popular channels, I’ve noticed this on critikal’s videos, maybe someordinarygamers, but when it comes to smaller channel sizes (around 100k), I see people having discussions about the video’s content more often.

It’s definitely bots that plague more popular creators, but I don’t doubt there’s also people who see these bots getting popular by posting the most generic bot-like messages just to get likes.

Cars - Even if it makes my life extremely difficult in today’s day and age, I’ve decided to try my best not getting/buying a car. I’m in Europe, so this is much easier to do than in US, and I want to see how far can I go with a bike or public transport only.

Blizzard, Bungie, Activision, Bethesda (at least titles developed by them) - anti consumer practices, even though some of the games are definitely good. As for Bethesda, I still would be down to buy games published but not developed by them, though the only one I’ve ever gotten was Dishonored.

Google and Microsoft - terrible privacy, tries to monopolize things. Actual evil companies and I don’t really like them, switched them out completely from my daily desktop life and I couldn’t be happier.
