I do have the experience but if you attach a debugger to a non-Denuvo or a Denuvo game, then have any hacker/modder come into the room and look at the code, manipulate it or inject new code, they won't notice the difference or face any obstacles.

Modder here. Denuvo has absolutely no effect on modding. Steam DRM checks the integrity of the executable and also crashes on breakpoints. That said, it's easy to remove with Steamless. Memory hacks work fine.

Edit: However, Space Marine 2 is going to use EAC, which is a kernel-level anti-cheat which prevents any modding short of utilizing or creating private hacks that may involve rogue system drivers.

That may be true for someone just looking to sign up with no help, but if they come across a guide or if their friend helps them, then it's easy.

Is there any relation between Bluesky and Dorsey now? Does he own any of it?

[–] Rose 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They did, but it's nothing huge.

Mastodon allows you to transfer your followers when you migrate, so it's not a big deal if you change your mind about the first instance you had chosen.

I won't go into the specific channels as to not promote them or what they do but we can talk about one known example, which is how Bellingcat got to the FSB officers responsible for the poisoning of Navalny via their mobile phone call logs and airline ticket data. They used the two highly popular bots called H****a and the E** ** G**, which allow to get everything known to the government and other social networks on every citizen of Russia for about $1 to $5. They use the Telegram API and have been there for years. How do you moderate that? You don't. You take it down as the illegal, privacy-violating, and doxing-enabling content that it is.

Edit: "Censored" the names of the bots, as I still don't want to make them even easier to find.

It's a street, not a changing booth. Also, I'm familiar with every charge against Durov and I personally have seen the illegal content I talked about. If it's so easily accessible to the public and persists for years, it has nothing to do with privacy and there is no moderation - though his words also underscore the latter.

It has nothing to do with privacy. Telegram is an old-school social network in that it doesn't even require that you register to view the content pages. It's also a social network taken to the extreme of free speech absolutism in that it doesn't mind people talking openly about every kind of crime and their use of its tools to make it easier to obtain the related services. All that with no encryption at all.

Must be why France wanted Durov.
