She's such a narcissist that she couldn't stay out of the spotlight. lol.

Regardless; I doubt that any game she could develop would be any good; and I shudder to think of what deranged DRM scheme she will cook up to protect her own game. It'll probably be worse than Denuvo, knowing how unstable she is.

Genuinely, the scene is better without her hate filled screeds polluting the web. Her abilities might be appreciated more if she got some mental help and she could rejoin the scene as a positive force; not someone who lets their ego run rampant and spews hate at the slightest provocation.

Unfortunately the scene is too cowardly to NUKE her output into obscurity until she cleans her spew up.

This is why technologies like DoH and DoT are needed. To prevent this kind of tampering.

With all likelihood; it would have been 3 to 5 whole years before anyone could have purchased a localized, legitimate copy of the movie in Lat.Am.

So no; I do not blame them for doing this. Considering that this movie was even broadcast as a "Public Screening" and likely nobody paid anything in admission but for food and drink...I'd even argue this was a 100% non-commercial use. Depending on the laws in Brazil it might even be "fair use" for a city official to do this; as informational and educational arguments can be made for it depending on the audience.

Then invoke your Phone's power menu and Power Off. Wait 10s and then power phone back on.

It's like playing Uno; but with reverse cards only.

So we have:

  • Ad Blockers
  • 'Ad Blocker' blockers
  • ''Ad blocker' blocker' blockers
  • '''Ad Blocker' blocker' blocker' blockers
  • ''''Ad Blocker' blocker' blocker' blocker' blockers
  • '''''Ad Blocker' blocker' blocker' blocker' blockers' blockers; and finally;
  • ''''''Ad Blocker' blocker' blocker' blocker' blockers' blocker' blockers; with;
  • '''''''Ad Blocker' blocker' blocker' blocker' blockers' blocker' blocker' blockers

in development.

...Assuming the flash drive isn't loaded to the gills with malware alongside of every game it offers to install...that sounds fair.

But let's be real; No legitimate company stands a chance of doing this without getting sued into oblivion. Unfortunately that means the risk of getting viruses and malware with your purchase, likely ransomware or cryptominer droppers, is really high.

...but let's assume you're technical enough that you can disarm all the malware on the USB stick and clean the cruft out of it. Then; yeah...maybe you'll get your value's worth.

I have a /48 that I can basically roll through.

A /64 is more than enough though to prevent most casual attempts at entry; and does force more work / enumeration to be done to break into a network and do damage with. I'm not saying the privacy extensions are the greatest; but they do work to slightly increase the difficulty of tracking and exploitation.

With a /48 or even a /56; I can subdivide things and hand out several /64s to each device too; which would shake up things if tracking expects a /64 explicitly.

I actually use /55s to cordon off blocks inside the /48 that aren't used too. So dialing a random prefix won't help. You'd be surprised how often I get intrusive portsweeps trying to enumerate my /64s this way...and it doesn't work because I'm not subnetting on any standard behavior.

In most sharing channels you could possibly just report those to the channel ops (@/&/!/~) and get them kicked or devoiced (removing their (+ or %) state depending on the channel)

I don't know any channel that would put up with people who wasted your time with DRM'ed files back in the day. It's less problematic now yes; but still something they don't want people doing...since you have to be signed in as the purchasing account to de-drm something.

I run both because of this; and because SLAAC enables features in Desktop OSes that offer some level of additional privacy.

For example; Windows can do "Temporary IPv6 Addressing" that it will hand out to various applications and browsers. That IPv6 address rotates on a periodic basis; once every 24 hours by default; and can be configured to behave differently depending on your needs via registry keys.

This could for example, allow you to quickly spin up a small application server for something; like a gaming session; and let you use/bind that IPv6 address for it. Once the application stops using it and the time period has elapsed; Windows drops the IP address and statelessly configures itself a new one.

What happens is what's intended.

Everyone is going to do it; and it will cause companies, artists and creatives to step back and rethink a bit on how they monetize their creations responsibly. The ones that refuse to rethink and adapt will fail and flounder under the tiny handful of straw that Piracy adds to the load.

That's a GOOD thing.

What's unfortunate is that companies and people still think it's productive to worry and handwring over piracy as if it's killing someone; instead of being the thing you "don't fly too close to, lest your wax wings get melted off and you plummet to the ground."
