[03:03:12] [1/2] My fricking donut is hollow 😭 [03:03:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1292321233781915740/20241005_210239.jpg?ex=67034f70&is=6701fdf0&hm=c353bd81120106c064be10a7360399796faa83eefffbc1f31ab8793623d8b386& [04:25:47] Guys [04:25:50] Just asking [04:26:45] On Steam, if you buy and install on your PC, then you get another PC and want to install your games on it, will Steam allow you to install them again?? [04:27:46] uh... you should be able to? [04:30:43] Yes, you can install your steam games on multiple devices, but you cannot play them on multiple devices simultaneously. [04:34:32] cool, thank you ^^ [04:34:39] I already bought the game, so there won't be any problem install them whenever I want. [04:35:57] Except in rare cases where Steam stops permitting a game to be installed by anyway. [05:05:21] You'd have to be pretty talented in multitasking to do that. [05:10:52] just because you could do it doesn't mean you could do it well :p [05:12:37] Steam actually won't permit it, I don't recall the exact error if you try to boot up games from two different devices (e.g. PC and steam deck) at the same time while connected to internet. [05:12:51] But it will get very cranky with you [05:14:05] Mostly trying to avoid situations of license abuse/unauthorized library sharing. Digital licenses: hard to manage! [06:31:36] Also if you family share a steam game to multiple accounts for the purposes of sockpuppetryto play on LANs it might also prevent the same license being for two sessions [08:31:12] fun fact, not all steam games verify using steam drm [08:31:51] so there are cases you can run without it and if they have lan capabilities they can even play with each other purely running copies of the game [08:32:27] all depends on the title though [13:47:30] Hey chat [13:47:43] I watched the matrix FINALLY [13:48:59] Welcome to 2000 [14:05:33] 1984 [14:07:54] Nah, I’ve taken the red pill [15:54:16] raidarr: Quite often you can "purchase" the software by changing a couple of bytes in the right place. Any begginer+ Ghidra or IDA user is capable of doing this. My take is for singleplayer games or games that do not require online functions, stripping the DRM out once you have a license is fine. This is how me and friends are able to play LAN games. [16:01:06] An individual who works for a DRM provider once told me the following: There is no way to end software piracy. DRM solutions for interactive entertainment (games) are in place to protect the early sales made in the span of 1-2 weeks after release. DRM in utility software is there as piece of mind, since that gets bypassed quickly. Enterprise licensing is completely different and does not require complex DRM, as if a organisation is caught [16:01:06] breaking the terms of the license, they open themselves to a lot of legal problems, and more likely than not, they will get sued for a large number of zeroes. [16:02:06] pixldev: you have to read 1984 sooner or later, it's required. [16:02:19] I have [16:02:26] I need to reread [16:06:15] plusgoodthink, I think at this point knowing 1984 is expected from wikimedians [16:35:53] In celebration of the 50,000th request (which is about worldbuilding), I present to you this video about one man who used over 100 accounts to run a Discord country RP for over 3 years - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RItD1vKUMWg [16:49:10] A sockpuppetry video. I should post my essay "on sockpuppetry at scale" sometime soon. [16:50:06] I very much hope this isn't a 'how to do wikicrime good' type essay. 😦 [16:50:21] We don't need to inspire the next generation of 'wasting my time'. [16:50:36] 😂 [16:50:49] I am debating if I should make that public or keep it private. [16:52:45] I got a lot of material that goes into things like linguistics, time zones, bias, user patterns, identity, technical aspects, etc [16:53:06] Interesting side note: the Alcris Wiki (which is mentioned in the video) is hosted on Miraheze: https://alcris.miraheze.org [16:54:29] I’d be interested in reading that but also yeah na is right [16:54:50] notarcham: will the average LTA bother reading a few hundred thousand words? [16:55:52] A subset of them are peculiarly determined and hyperliterate, yes. [16:56:31] But not on average [17:09:41] I assume that the average large scale multiple identity network (what I call sockpuppet networks) operator has way above average IQ, technical and language skills. [17:27:22] Felenov: it varies [17:27:32] They are either super opportunistic and dumb [17:27:39] Or super coordinated and smart [17:32:34] RhinosF1: the ones that don't get found for a while are highly intellegent. With high IQ often come deviations from the standard patterns, such individuals are often eccentric and seek attention. [17:35:10] Felenov: the higher IQ ones generally involve pre planning and thought [17:35:20] Not just fuck it I'm gonna be a pain [17:39:44] Absolutely. Some take over a year to get set up [18:08:46] [1/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1292549124494852137/20241006_160448.jpg?ex=670423ad&is=6702d22d&hm=10dead2dcd525f405b73afba33f02b862fc22ac7406a98fb84feb44e8b4f8dce& [18:08:46] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1292549124868018367/20241006_160458.jpg?ex=670423ad&is=6702d22d&hm=5524fa9d85367b81cba2a1ebe8263d5cbc9f8a3a85e2eca1ebd2b749c64ffb04& [18:15:33] How intellegent do you think I am?> [18:16:43] If the essay is availed to cvt/counter abuse groups in private it may give modest insight, if public it will inevitably be abused [19:00:21] Athria in my opinion depends on how competent people are in doing simple task and being able to figure out complex math, reading, science, and good knowledge of history [19:21:14] Rather strange that 90% of my edits are either WikiGnoming or bot-like I think. What do you think? (my 2 Wikipedia edits was both minor fixes) [19:21:57] Well it’s interesting tho I don’t mind to much if it’s doesn’t make a counterproductive editing [19:22:34] I am very against counterproductive editing I don’t care about the editing to much unless it has something breaking the rules or counterproductive [20:08:58] I am more intested in fixing spelling errors or broken links of the like [21:01:12] [1/2] Finally made the Vietnamese CC [21:01:12] [2/2] https://youtu.be/qcfuA_UAz3I [23:07:37] I'm doing the spanish one rn [23:09:47] I signed up just for that lol [23:32:35] Why did the pool explode when a guy jumped in it?
