10k reward for info.

Isn’t that standard for info on a murder? I feel like I’ve heard this before. Maybe it’s usually “up to” 10k. Idk.

This post doesn’t congratulate the murderer for their actions. It calls into question people’s focus on this one death versus preventable ones die to denied insurance claims. This post isn’t doing the thing you think it is.

False positives make me lose sleep because I get oaged. False negatives make me lose sleep because of the dread.

In eastern cultures they have a concept which, when translated, is called “the law.” “The law” is about defining a set of rules to encourage people to behave in a way that is more appropriate for society.

This is the closest thing to justice for the rich we’ve seen in - maybe our lives?

That submarine popping.

Also, there’s something like an average of 47 gun deaths per day (not sure if this site is including suicides, if it is then it’s roughly half without it). But CEOs matter more than Average Joe.

When was this? In years past there were weird restrictions about exporting strong encryption algorithms from the US. So much so that Java didn’t have unlimited strength algorithms bundled by default. Depending on the time she said this/she was talking about then it could’ve just been a comment on the weak algorithms being, well, weak.

I’m genuinely shocked that people are upset with what you’re saying. Even if people believe the “95% of you are guys” comment isn’t transphobic and is just weirdly presumptuous, the rest is still pretty icky behavior.

I cannot install Windows 11 on my computer without using a hacky work around because Windows 11 “requires” SecureBoot and TPM, but my computer doesn’t even have UEFI.

You’re absolutely right. The fact that people can work around the requirement for UEFI, TPM, and SecureBoot shows that it still runs fine on legacy BIOS. I’ve been saying this forever, it’s like a car radio company telling car dealerships to only allow them to be installed into cars with car alarms and then claiming that the radio is secure (when the security is a feature of the car, not the radio). It’s such bullshit…

We called my wife “fake gamer girl” for a while because we made a group chat back in 2020 with everyone in it to coordinate online games. They were there because she would play Among Us or Jack Box with us. It was very tongue in cheek. To be honest, they may have even said it themselves for the first time lol.

Because physical mail can be easily opened with a warrant. Encryption can be nigh impossible to break. The idea of a vault that cannot be opened no matter how hard you try is something that scares law makers.

Wiping old stuff won’t hurt, but they might not actually delete it.

Judging by the rainbow shirt and where it’s been posted to (and the discussion on it), this isn’t about allie of women but allies LGBT.

My wife and I are queer and have a pride flag on our house. One day a couple of kids came to our door while we were out of town. I was very worried because they were young and alone in the evening and we weren’t home. We answered them with the doorbell camera. They said they were queer and just wanted us to know that they’re happy to see pride flags in the area to know they’re not alone.

There definitely are queer folks who aren’t allies, though. The whole trans exclusionary LGB thing is an example.

What did they even say? I think they deleted their account or got perma banned from their instance because I can’t even find their account on their instance now.

ITT people are thinking this post is about them, but it feels like it’s more targeted at the “The A is for ally!” types. (Thinking A in LGBTQIA is for ally instead of asexual.)

It’s important to remember that it’s not only buyers, but developers that use Steam. Steam is currently involved in a lawsuit with developers.

Actually, it’s generally publishers, not developers that end up paying the 30% cut.

I’m keeping the model simple by equating publisher with developer. Basically, you’ve got the consumer, the store, and the supplier. That some (most) developer studios go through a publisher for funding is a business practice that’s actually unrelated to Steam. Especially because they allow indie content.
