Later in that thread:

Hello Internet commenters. Please remember that there's no rule that says you need to tell us all your gut reaction to this if you know absolutely nothing about the situation.

This airport tried to be cutesy and put up a sign limiting "hug time" instead of a more generic time limit. Have you ever heard of a "full English breakfast"? We'll tell you all about it. There's a café in Tokyo which discourages socializing. Find out why! People in China have pets. Isn't that cute! Here's a great tourist attraction in Turkey! Not into that? How about a video game museum in Kyoto instead? Or a theme park in Orlando? But why stop there? Here are some other links to random news tidbits.

It's like one of those daytime TV talk shows in text form.

It's find -L if you want it to follow symlinks.

cat `find /sys -name pp_power_profile_mode`

If by "advanced mode" you mean the "expert" installer, it's not in graphics mode so you wouldn't need the ctrl key.

Edit: Actually there is also a "graphical expert install" apparently, but anyway you may be in text mode. You could instead pick rescue mode from the menu as well.

Did an AI write that, or are you a human with an uncanny ability to imitate their style?

Did this highly scientific study contemplate the possibility that this is in part the result of people feeling like they're more justified in turning to piracy if a game is burdened with Denuvo?

Spoiler: It does not, so far as I can tell at first glance. It appears that the model is constructed entirely from DRM-crippled games that got cracked, and then then the estimate of how much revenue would be lost by going DRM-free from the start is extrapolated from that based on the assumption that it makes no difference. Maybe it's true, but the acknowledgement that it "can and often does cause problems, and some developers have chosen to avoid Denuvo altogether because it had such a negative impact on how well their game would run" sort of suggests otherwise.

https://abs.freemyip.com:84/share/_5WuM4QF — be careful following strange links you found on lemmy, but this appears to be the pdf.

It appears to be @linuxprepper@podcast.james.network for those who want to follow it.

To have it post to lemmy I believe you'd just need to address things to e.g. @fediverse@lemmy.world
