1. Winboat or Winapps - Both will let you use Adobe programs in linux pretty well with a sandboxed vm. Getting better every day. That is assuming you can’t get done what you need on Open Source software alternatives - some are really good, others are a bit of a let down.

2. If you are fully on board with Kernal Anti-Cheat, then you have already given up on actually owning and controlling your PC. That said, there has been talk recently by windows about kicking 3rd parties out of the Kernal, so KAC might actually die soon (we can only pray).

3. I’d be curious to know what you are regularly using regedit and group policies to change. For a start, I bet a lot of it can be changed in the settings GUI or aren’t problems that need changing to start with in Linux. Secondly, I think learning CLI is significantly easier than learning regedit - the navigation at least is a lot simpler imo. Unless you are just running .reg files you find on the floor of the internet, if you learned to use regedit you can definitely learn the Linux CLI (as much as you’ll need to in order to do what you want).

Just saying, it is constantly evolving and most of the road blocks are out-dated or hinge on reliance on some other big tech company besides microsoft that is just as far down the enshittification rabbit-hole. It is not a decision you made once and have to keep living with. None of us swore a life-debt to our “team”. :)

Did they release an unredacted copy? All I can find is they came out and claimed it was Giuffre… Not nearly as strong of a position if so.

Damn it, it’s been too long and I forgot the name of slow fall… I think that means you won the internet today.

But it always happens to be the book a new guest wants to check out…

Hope you’re quick on the levitate, cause we are going to summon you off a cliff.

OMG Lemmy “fixes” double spaces after periods??? (Or maybe it is alexandrite doing that?)

I am horrified. Disgusted. Fuck. Back to Reddit I guess, I’d rather be commodified AI training fodder than barred from double spacing after periods.

Double. Space. After. Periods.

Period.

I don’t think this fits the topic because it is not “doesn’t matter at all” tier. This matters. Hasbro is a massively shitty company and D&D just keeps getting worse (a raging barbarian gets to use strength to hide and to notice things, and gets advantage on the roll in 2024 rules…).

It is very important to the health of the hobby that people start playing, and giving attention to, other game systems.

Oracle makes money. They don’t care how.

Shit I miss Ventrilo… Setting up custom binds so I could talk shit about the raid leader directly to the other warlock in the group just by pressing a different “talk” button was amazing. And I can still here the push-to-talk notification sounds… When the guild moved to Discord, I died a little inside and didn’t even know it yet. Yea, we have a meme channel now, but at what cost??

I always wanted a hollowed out book as a child. So I took a steak knife and a random book I figured was big enough, and started painstakingly carving out the center. I still have it somewhere, it’s kinda cool, but now I really would rather have a bookshelf hidden door, or maybe behind a painting, hiding a secret lair.

This just sounds like your solution is for women to show real nude pictures of themselves so others can differentiate between their real nude body and AI fakes… wtf.

Nobody gives a single salty fuck what chatgpt says.

I see a lot with one end open, other end closed, which I guess makes them a soup or salad?

What if we just banned any company from owning copyright - it can only be held by the original creator of the work, the individual person?

I don’t understand… If you get the lock off of the bike, then you get the lock off the grenade pin, no? What am I missing? Or is the idea that they don’t notice this whole thing and try to ride off and that automatically primes and drops the grenade? Then you still don’t have a bike. I don’t get it. :/

Do you not think a VPN will affect response time?? I implore you re-read the paper you keep referring to because they spell it out pretty basically what they are doing - and finding a person’s actual physical location behind a VPN is not it.

I am not claiming a VPN is a perfect or complete solution… The modern web has an absolute ton of ways to track you even through a VPN, but CPV isn’t it.

Not really, because the only reason they have a location to test against is because the connection looks like it is coming from the vpn server location. They don’t have any other location data to test against, and even if they decided to then run the test against every possible location on the planet, they still have the issue that their data is heavily skewed by the fact your traffic is flowing through a vpn, so your latency is not going to be perfectly matching their test servers unless they force the test servers’ traffic through the same vpn server.

Nothing about this is setup to find your location on the other side of a vpn - it is basically testing if you are using a vpn or otherwise “spoofing” your location and returning a yes or a no.

Withers isn’t optional, if you don’t go to his crypt he still eventually shows up in your camp. His introduction is a bit truncated and confusing if I remember correctly, but I’m pretty sure you cannot get to the Mountain Pass or Shadow-cursed Lands without withers showing up first.

They kind of have it backwards. They aren’t triangulating your location, they are taking the location your connection tells them you are and tests to see if that is correct or not by checking with known servers in an area around your claimed location. It can verify you are not where you say you are, but beyond that it can’t find you. At least, not the paper the person is mentioning - this “other method” they mention doesn’t appear to be linked to any paper or anything and might just be their personal theory, not sure.
