Roger that!

Windows defender is not supposed to protect you from user mistakes. It protects you from viruses like ransomware, or spyware like google chrome.

It is a nice concept in theory. It has a bit of resemblance to the metaverse minus monetary enshittification, but there are some challenges to this.

It would for example end up just as dead if the other players got bored of it and stopped playing. Then there is server costs for something where there really isn’t that much realtime interaction in, and all these metagames would need to be just as fun with a global time at a set flow, or be OK with synching only at the end of the day.

These of course aren’t impossible challenges.

You could leave the “online” part to a simple global api backend and skip the gameserver itself to greatly reduce costs. You wouldn’t see the other players in person but you’d see their shops grow each new day, and there could be an NPC of their owner walking around.

You could bankrupt inactive players and give their lands to new players, and implement import/export costs for distant shops incentivizing local trade. You’d probably still want normal NPCs, but their interactions would have to be predetermined each day if you don’t have a game server running all day, and want to prevent cheating.

The implementation difficulty and cost greatly varies depending on how much interaction and fairness you want, but setting up an API server is fairly easy if you don’t worry about scaling in case the game really takes off.

Who?

Facing worlds.

I still listen to the unreal and unreal tournament soundtracks to this day.

It is not. Why would you need to track your almost-teen 24/7? It wouldn’t be child neglect even if the kid was 6. They’re more than old enough to go on spontaneous exploring.

Host it on the tor network.

Host it on web 3.0.

Host it outside the US.

Host it over torrents and i2p.

Isn’t that how America does taxes in everything else?

Are tariffs applied when a company produces something in one country and transports them to their own company in another country? I thought they only applied to sales.

Don’t video game consoles all have offices in the US? Why would the US apply tariffs on companies residing in and paying tax the US?

Hello mixed in vinegar.

Jokes aside, Koe no Katachi, and Kimi ni Todoke are probably my favorites.

Boku no pico

Helvete!*

*It means hello in Swedish.

I thought city folk didn’t like that feeling of grass tickling your feet.

This is why I was secretly rooting for Aether to take off instead of Lemmy.

The one war I hope both sides get annihilated in.

B) No, you’re replying.

B2) First of all, you’re requiring out of box. Even windows has hibernation disabled by default, so it doesn’t come out of box like you want. Second of all, while yes, hibernation requires a little more extra work because it requires signing your keys with secure boot and therefore Microsoft itself (which any linux user is hesitant to do), it does work with a bit of extra work, and there are guides. It is not a big deal.

I neither use TPM due to the potential backdoors, nor secure boot because it serves no purpose other than to try to lock in users to Windows, and preventing piracy (besides, BlackLotus bypasses secure boot, so it is rendered completely useless). And on linux you are allowed to disable these. Secure boot in itself is legally in a gray area because it forces you to sign with Microsoft even when you don’t use Windows or any Microsoft products.

C) Me: windows is shit because it overrides my preferred settings in favor of Microsoft products. You: No it doesn’t. Me: yes it does. Here try this right now. You: That doesn’t count because you’re on windows using a Microsoft product. Me: the entire OS is a Microsoft product, so technically they could ignore your preferences at anytime, but that only proves my point harder. You: pardon?

Are we up to speed?

A) copilot and recall are embedded into windows explorer and many other features of windows regardless of whether you have it enabled or not. If you uninstall copilot+, windows explorer stops working.

B) it has to do with Windows if they collect information that they’re not legally required to collect. Most linux distributions don’t collect it, so that makes them superior in that case.

B2) it has been available in Ubuntu core for over 2 years now, and in arch for even longer than that.

B3) If you have to break a system in order to circumvent (temporarily) something that is being forced upon you, that only proves my point that the system is shit.

C) oh so now suddenly it is OK to have Microsoft products shoved down your throat because after all, windows itself is a Microsoft product.
