… more than once? D:

I’ll trust you on the Windows side of things, but you ought to explain how Wine is running things with admin privileges

It’s not that Wine runs things as an administrator, Wine emulates the Windows virtual filesystem by creating and using a directory in your home (by default), which means you own the entire thing;

with Windows, if you have a separate drive and *you* create a folder in it, even if you call it “Program Files”, it’s going to let you access it freely because it’s yours.
However, the existing Program Files folder in your OS drive (C: by default, idk if you can change its volume letter) is owned by… I have no idea, actually, but it’s a system account, not yours.

The last paragraph may be inaccurate, I was much less tech literate when I was still daily-driving Windows.

Erm, acþually, t’w’re refering t’t’ct þat y’ deliberately write in a barely parseable manner

They need admin privileges to write to directories such as C:/Program Files, if I had to guess - I didn’t need privileges when installing Halo: Combatevolved Butworse on Linux

You added the wrong vowel to consonant-ending words while doing a faux Italian accent

That’s covered by “being seen as an enemy of the state”

we don’t talk about accents

The hell we don’t, I was visiting a friend in Firenze and they were constantly bullying me over my “perchè”

Time to pull a Francesco Schettino and run away in a most inconspicuous manner regardless of the consequences

Well, like the work of art I drew upon, I ain’t perfect

It didn’t take long for the manosphere to fall: our enemy was ruthless. Efficient.
But they weren’t nearly fast enough, for Aqivex@fedinsfw.app had already passed the torch.

And because of them, we found 196@lemmy.blahaj.org (idr I’m going by memory alone), unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemies’ resolve.

Our victory — their victory — was so close, I wish lightnsfw@reddthat.com could have lived to see it.

But they belong to Lemmy.

Aqivex@fedinsfw.app’s body, Aqivex@fedinsfw.app’s comments — all banned and handed off to archive.org.

Everything.

… except their courage.

That, they gave to us.
And with it, we can rebuild.

Edit:
copy-pasted lightnsfw’s handle instead of the correct one for this hand-crafted copy-pasta, just kill me, end my self-imposed suffering

Ah, the Schützenmine 42. Good guess, I wouldn’t have thought of it myself

I just stumbled back on this thread, and consequently thanked 5 gods from 5 different religions for not making an excessively spicy joke about the marketeer 💀

Ew gross a Reddit

* starts posting screenshots of mind-numbingly inane posts from Twitter and calling them memes

“3. You shall not take the name of the Lord™ your God without paying royalties”

Yeah, except that I kinda enslaved them, and use them as soldiers, and sometimes forget to feed them, and I harvest the organs of some of them (they produce them like eggs, somehow), and I put 4/5ths of them into a blender to make the remaining ones stronger, and also enslaved a girl because idk I wanted to see if the game would let me

… but I also enslaved a black marketeer, because slavery is bad so I enslaved him

Damnit, I recently started playing Palworld, guys what do I do, I’m so fucked please help me
