Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code
  • I haven't played in a few years but this is how I remember the system working: RDO matches people into separate lobbies based on what version of the game they're running and this check is done by hashing one or more files in the install directory. By adding junk data to one of those files you more or less guarantee that you'll only ever encounter other people who have the same junk data added. It's basically the dark souls password system with extra steps.

    Steam: Introducing Steam Families
  • We have 1278 paid games that are included and 55 that are excluded from family sharing. Seemed to be mostly ubi, rockstar and ea games. Games that you claimed while they had a limited 100% discount are also excluded. The last few are live-service or mmo games.

    "Family sharing" is now a feature listed on every store page. Same place as singleplayer, trading cards, cloud saves and similar. As far as I know no major changes has happened in which games support it, but that may change now that sharing gets more attention.

    I got to play Terra Nil, and here is my two cents on it
  • the reviews used for the star rating is picked based on similarity to "you", so looking at the same app from different locations or from different devices will produce different scores. Still, 1.7 is extremely low

    Mastodon founder touts Threads' federation, saying it makes his X rival 'a far more attractive option'
  • And I'm saying that there's very obvious transphobic statements still visible on the most obvious account to check. If facebook doesn't even bother properly clean up after libsoftiktok then I have no faith in their moderation of less overt transphobia from nobodies.

  • You got me to click the link. There is still plenty of transphobic statements on that account, and they've been up for 22+ weeks. I very much doubt that nobody has bothered to report those posts, so I'll assume facebook is fine with a level of transphobia that is enough to make my day worse even by just skimming for 30 sec.

  • Indeed. We don't even need to talk about EEE or past genocide enabling behavior from facebook. The lack of moderation of threads is plenty reason to defederate. My sanity is valuable enough that I won't see for myself, but it sure seems like "@libsoftiktokofficial" on threads is the "real deal".

  • if a mastodon instance was fine with hosting libsoftiktok it would swiftly be defederated for lack of moderation by a large amount of instances. No questions asked. No debate. Why is this any different? Do the rules somehow not apply when we're dealing with facebook?

    Be yourself and be true to who you are. Don't let neurotypical conditioning define your identity.
  • not really. Allistic is the opposite to autistic while NT is the opposite to ND. As Neurodiversity covers (much) more than just autism, allistic is more precise when the topic is specifically autism.

    505 of 700 OpenAI employees tell the board to resign.
  • Imagine "roko's basilisk", but extended into an entire philosophy. It's the idea that "we" need to anything and everything to create the inevitable ultimate super-ai, as fast as possible. Climate change, wars, exploitation, suffering? None of that matters compared to the benefits humanity stands to gain when the ultimate super-ai goes online

  • You had me until I read Thursday and Friday. No way in hell the real elon would be able to stick to just one day of the week for either. Otherwise a very convincing post.
