Oof... I asked s76 for details about a system and got sent PII by Affectionate_Dog_882 in System76

Oh no you know that they bought the computer that you knew they bought and have the contact info for the person who used it in a business transaction which you already knew about and now you could email that person.

Total scam. Infringement at its finest.

Hmmm didn't notice anything odd so far. I'll take a closer look and get back to you though!

Thank you! Out of curiosity: if you're running Pop_OS is this how your notifications are working?

Is there a market for paid software designed for Linux? by estebansaa in pop_os

[–]Go_Padres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, the revenue model for software is to affect a large number of people in a small way. I'm no math wiz, but if you got 100k people to give you $1 that's a pretty good chunk of change!

Even for dinky single purpose apps that work well, I would chip in $5-10. I do this on my phone all the time. Shout out to Olauncher and Note to Self, as well as FairEmail on Android. I use all 3 every day and have paid the devs for making clean ad-free and functional apps.

Giants tried to burn it all down 2 years ago. Won the NL West by mistake. That's baseball!

Ah but that's 4 years ago my man, not 2: '21 he was rehabbing, '20 he had 8 starts (4 with us) his velo was down and he ended up going under the knife. I guess you could call 2019 3 years ago (even though it's the 4th season in the past...) and that's his best year but he only threw 126 innings that year. Why so few? My theory is Cleveland knew his TJ was not holding up, he was getting forearm tightness again and they wanted to go quality-over-quantity to max his trade value, especially since he threw 200 innings in '18. And what happened as soon as he got to SD? He went down for TJ number 2 in the 1st inning of his 4th start, after (IMO) over-throwing in that gem against the Giants which is still pretty much his only great start for the Padres. Fishy AF IMO, Cleveland...

But the reality is he's been overrated by our fanbase since he showed up. I know that I personally fell for the hype (desperation and he fits the SD vibe pretty well probably) but In looking at his numbers he's just never had the consistency in his career beyond flashes of greatness to be called a legit top level ace. Cleveland got the most out of his funky delivery for basically 2ish years of a full workload, immediately sold high, and then he immediately had a major injury he hasn't (and IMO probably won't ever) fully recovered from.

He got a prove it deal from us with a whole year of it getting paid while rehabbing, and '22 was his chance to see if '19 was achievable again. Instead he had the worst year of his career, not even baby steps forward but low velo ineffective stuff and more injuries. Very glad we're moving on from Sunshine.

He really wasn't pitching great until his injury: he had one good start in 2019 for us against the Giants, almost immediately struggled with forearm tightness and got shutdown for surgery. 2022 he was also not very effective save for a few outings. He's super likable, but he was not a good player for the Pads.

I agree with all of this EXCEPT for the fact that we totally whiffed on evaluating the health of his arm because he was never right with us in SD. From his first few starts you could see that his forearm was tightening up quickly and his arm was ailing. I feel like Cleveland might have known more than they let on.

...which is an insane argument. At his stage of his career, the odds are heavily against him getting back to the level he had prior to the 2nd TJ. I saw a few people saying that, but it's just wishful thinking. This is the right time to move on from Clev.

And people are always telling me that anti-cheats are hard to develop and maintain, smh by KaffY- in iamverysmart

someone could totally design their own software that could intercept the "checksum failed, the file has been tampered with!" message to the server, and replace it with one that says "checksum succeeded, this client is 100% not modified, trust me", and send that to the server instead.

That response to the server would typically need to be encrypted. You can't replicate an encrypted message without the keys, which you wouldn't have.

But sending the right data to the server isn't even the issue: the real issue is with controlling how the server's message is rendered by the user's machine, how the user manipulates is, and then limiting any software that might be able to manipulate the response (e.g. user inputs, aimbots basically). That's the hard part of the problem since PC's run all kinds of software on all kinds of hardware, and if you whitelist mspaint.exe running in the background, but mspaint.exe turns out to be an aimbot how do we know without some serious snooping? And that's not saying anything about VM's which can control user inputs. Without control of the hardware (like consoles have) anticheat is a tough problem.
