In simpler terms you need to have an entirely dedicated isolated system to play these games on, at which point the economical option is undoubtedly just to buy the damn game…

Computers not connected to the internet are almost entirely useless for anything else, and computers that are connected to the internet are inevitably logged into to services, and being logged in to something automatically means there’s personal data on it. If only credentials and authentication cookies.

Just stay away from this. Get a console of Denuvo freaks you out, or just stay away from these games untill they patch denuvo out, like you should anyway. The only reason they keep using Denuvo is that they aren’t adequately punished for doing so. Gamers are notoriously bad at voting with their wallet.

As much as I’d love to rail on AI over this, removing backups with an api call? Excuse me?

Meanwhile these same cunts spend more time on the golf course and on random yachts than most people do in their own home, also under the guise of “(net)working” obviously, while at the same time mandating a full return to office for the grunts.

Flexibility is a two way street. You want me to be invested in the work in the company, stop posting linkedin stories and find ways to make exactly that actually enticing.

I just accept that nothing ever looks perfect and do as much as possible myself. Especially since covid and the labour shortages contractors are paid in gold bars.

Basicly the only thing I still really get professionals for when liability a factor. Structural work, gas fed system, or more complex electrical work. Basicly anything that when it’s not done correctly it could hurt or kill people, i still don’t wanna risk cowboying myself.

Ik rook al heel lang niet meer maar ik gooide mijn peuken na het uitmaken keurig in een afvalbak of klein afsluitbaar asbakje die ik altijd bij me had. Zeker filtersigaretten. Maar die peuken op straat zijn net als hondenkak, je hebt maar een klein percentage asociale mensen nodig om een grote groep mensen asociaal te laten lijken.

I wish this ban was in effect when my stupid cunt of an adolescent brain thought starting smoking would be a good idea.

And also this freedom to increase your chances of lung cancer for litterally no reason at all doesn’t only affect the smoker, but everybody in the general area of said smoker. What about their freedom to breathe clean air.

The world changes, handle it. Older generations took away younger generation’s freedom to have a perspective on any kind of affordable housing.

I don’t think taking away their freedom to make an objectively dumb and pointless choice for their health and finances moves the needle on the scale of problems we are facing.

I agree with what you’re saying in general, but by this logic there’s also value to cocaine.

I agree they should’ve just went full the distance with this ban. Would be a great help to people that still smoke to just quit if you litterally can’t get them anymore.

I am all for it because it doesn’t affect those that already smoke

This assumes people only start smoking at a legal age.

Why. It’s the same thing, but digital, and with so far still mostly unknown long term health effects that have every potential to even be worse. If you’re going down this path this should definately be included.

But he’s still right.
