  • On top of that, it’s also that “living life to the fullest” has changed over the years, and has different meanings even among members of the same generation.

    There are a lot of people injecting doomerism right into their tear ducts lately who openly don’t have long term plans because they seriously believe we’re headed to total collapse and they’ll be dead.

    And that older people are more likely to know people who lived “to the fullest” for whatever interpretation of that you have, and have seen what those people have had to deal with as they’ve got older.









  • It’s absolutely possible. That’s why reputable sites like FitGirl reccomend you disable the security, restart your computer, play the game, then re-enable the security, and restart again.

    Don’t run other shit or browse the web, minimize what you’re doing and running while your security is weakened to the bare minimum. Play the game and that’s it, then put things back to “safe”.

    As with any crack or bypass software, you shouldn’t run it if you don’t trust the source. These hypervisor bypasses are really for special cases where you absolutely can’t wait for a traditional crack.

    I’d argue personally that you can always just wait.

    Now the actual likelyhood of anything taking advantage and being able to deeply persist once you turn the security settings back on? Can’t really say. I would assume the chance is unlikely, but that’s not based off of fucking anything substantial.




  • I think you’ve severely underestimated just how critical Linux is to the tech industry, and just how hard it would be for companies to move off of it.

    If companies were afraid they’d have to face that kind of work, they would push back on our behalf.

    Or they would make their own forks, we’d end up with a painful unmaintainable mess, and then they’d push back on our behalf.

    You manage upwards against people unwilling to listen or comprehend by forcing them to experience the pain of their own poor decisions that they were already warned of. You don’t accomplish anything by proactively capitulating to bad requests.






  • The issue is that Linux shouldn’t be making any attempts to handle this at all.

    If the various governments are going to try and require this, they can make and maintain their own forks and accept all the responsibility and risk that entails. Or the businesses beholden to the laws can. We have no obligation to make this easier on them, and every reason to make it harder.

    If various Linux (and Linux software/component) maintainers would hold the line, we’d be fine.

    The godawful mess of what would come from all of these different groups scrambling to implement their own solutions would be the fucking point. The most effective way to manage upwards at people who don’t understand or want to listen is to make them feel pain for their shitty decisions.
