This movie didn't have any bees in it at all. Is the guy who wrote this article an idiot?

What else are you expecting them to do then if they already answered? Write an essay on DLL injection and walk everyone through the code line by line to convince them it's not malicious?

I said that to indicate that the dev had already responded to the posts, and they were not in a different time zone or on vacation, as you suggested in another comment.

the issue was just posted 7 hours ago. maybe they just haven't seen it yet.

There are multiple posts going back 5 days of people asking about it. Check closed issues too, the dev even responded to some of them by saying it's only a false positive.

Nah I linked the issues page on purpose since there are multiple posts talking about it

Someday in the future even our toilets will all be connected to the internet

 

Seems strange that the dev seems to be keeping quiet on this, no? I'm not telling you to read every comment of every post, you can just skim the post titles. Then you'll see multiple open issues and a few closed issues too going back 5 days to the latest BtS update.

Though I haven't followed this project long enough to tell if this is just the way they normally behave.

Edit:

I'm back at my computer, so it's easier to edit and add info now.

Some key points that have stuck out to me:

  • Previous version released in July only triggers 2 detections on Windows defender versus 29 for the most recent version: https://i.imgur.com/GIoH7eG.png

  • Users getting constantly pestered to update to the latest version: https://i.imgur.com/Oege3kU.png

  • Yeah, naturally, the dev is going to say it's a false positive. Obviously. I've only mentioned that the dev has previously responded because some people barely skimmed through the issues and thought the dev simply hadn't seen the latest open issue from only a few hours ago, when that is not the case.

Even if Howells was able to somehow find the drive, it's been sitting in a landfill for more than a decade. Still, his team of experts believe there is about an 80 percent chance that data from the drive would be recoverable.

Is this copium?

Great post, thanks for taking the time to write this.

Penises are adjacent to my line of work, but are still outside my area of expertise

Votes should be transparent for everyone. Right now the system assumes that mods/admins are somehow inherently more responsible than the average user, but well, just look at the garbage clusterfuck admin/mod teams of certain instances. You're telling me you're gonna trust these people with this information and not everyone else? Get the fuck outta here.

Spez gets a ton of online hate and it is still somehow not enough hate.

I agree. But people should be aware that even though "1.0" released in 2022, Cosmoteer has been around since 2011. It's far from being the worst example of a game in eternal early access, though I would say it isn't one of the better ones.

Ah, Cosmoteer. Extremely fun for like 10 hours, then you realize there is nothing left to do. I guess that dev has made a fortune off of it though, so hats off to that guy.
