Can be, won’t be tho

Do you? Have you read any history books? Do you know how your rights were attained?

I agree

Okay, but we do also have to break things because the legal channels aren’t good enough. If they were sufficient, we wouldn’t be here, now.

Putting in political work, petitions, speaking to and informing people, writing the politicians (at best paper mail, its taken more seriously) going into a party and making change from inside, protesting normally as in on the streets and not being disruptive to the public.

The things that have done absolutely nothing for the last 4 decades? Yeah lets keep doing it, maybe this decade guys

Systemic change will also require that people change their lifestyle, it just won’t be as voluntary

If you can look at the state of the world and claim to be a fence-sitter but get knocked off your pole the moment there’s a media shitstorm, then you aren’t a fence sitter, you are just in denial and looking for an excuse.

It starts conversations

It gives me an ‘in’ when my conservative reactionary friends-by-circumstances bring it up to dunk on them with their alternative-facts and I get to correct them with reality-facts. It’s slow, but it works. No-ones mind was changed overnight about anything.

As indicated in the figure, carbon dioxide emissions accounted for about 7.2 percent of (non-energy-related) agricultural emissions of greenhouse gases in 2021

It’s something, but it’s not what it should’ve been. Farmers have a lot of political sway in this country and I have no doubt that some under-the-table things have happened because that’s the motto of our sitting government.

Damn I was literally going to make this exact comment but sarcastically because it’s stupid. Thank you for saving me the effort!

As far as I can tell, yes

I do 🥰

That doesn’t solve the problem of me needing other peoples githubs repos on a VPS with no v4

Yeah let me self-host other peoples github repos because github doesn’t have IPv6 lmao dude

Yes but IPv4 is becoming expensive and it’s annoying having to use a middleman to clone github repos on a v6-only VPS

IPv6 is not hard, there is no excuse not to have it

I am talking strictly of in-game spinbots, catbots, omegatronics and the rest, whatever their names are, not cheats as a whole.

Prove I can do what?

It’s not that VAC is now trivial to bypass, it always was and is kind of by design. VAC is not an active adaptive anti-cheat, it literally just checks for predefined parameters and if anything trips then you’re flagged and will later be banned.

What happened here was that a source-code leak of the original 2007 TF2 revealed an exploit that allows clients to run in a no-graphics mode that still works on modern TF2. Someone found out that you can program a script to interact with the no-graphics client and make it do stuff like join public server queues and interact with the game world. So they made it run around headshotting people. Since the client is running without graphics, it’s very trivial to run tens if not hundreds of these from cheap machines.

I also want to give some insight because I see a lot of people wondering why the fuck they’re doing this at all but it’s actually very simple. It’s the thrill of the cat-and-mouse game and they’ve been winning it for years. I’ve developed cheats (in cooperation with the developers, it was a whole thing) and I understand it. There’s an element of fun to the puzzle game of trying to work around systems deliberately put in place to stop you. That’s all there is to it, they’re just enjoying this chase. A lot of them definitely also enjoy ruining fun but that’s not the primary motivator.

Here try some gasoline ☺️

Where on the Microsoft logo do you sit politically?

It’s breaching out of the edgy circles into normie culture again, I think
