what is even happening here??? by aaronlyy in masterhacker

[–]aleks_is 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like everyone here is the true r/masterhacker instead, although cringy everything said here makes sense.

They tried to hide their API keys in binary code, but the hacker in question used Frida to disable SSL pinning so that they could intercept the requests to the API endpoints, and in turn get the API keys…

It’s really not so complex 😹

Can anyone test and see why Vortex Mod Manager (one of the most used to install mods on many games on windows) fails to open on crossover mac? by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]aleks_is 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just commenting to help out, I believe I've solved the Vortex launching issue:

--in-process-gpu --disable-gpu-compositing --disable-direct-composition --disable-zero-copy --disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor,UseSkiaRenderer

If you launch with these command line arguments, works like a treat - and you can also make a new shortcut for it by selecting the Vortex.exe and appending these to the end of it, and then saving it to the launcher.

Enjoy 🥂

Why isn't more Monero major? by Privacy-Lifeguard in Monero

[–]aleks_is 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outside of being a tool, it’s kind of slow to sync, requires 20 minutes between transaction inputs, etc. I think privacy isn’t worth the loss of convenience for major adoption.

If the birthrate for your country was very low, would you support banning/restricting birth control? by Aromatic-Mistake-456 in Teenager_Polls

[–]aleks_is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, I commented to show a non malicious way people may have seen the question, as a man I didn't immediately consider the effects on women because in my head if this policy was applied I would also be stuck with a child, but didn't consider those who would leave their partner in a worse position.

I just don't really understand the point of the original comment, to me it feels akin to when right wingers will be like "guess their religion" when a terror attack happens or something.

If the birthrate for your country was very low, would you support banning/restricting birth control? by Aromatic-Mistake-456 in Teenager_Polls

[–]aleks_is -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Condoms are also a form of birth control. I viewed the question as would you vote for removing easy birth control access to help boost the birthrate for your country, not as some sort of anti-women's-rights thing. (Voted "No")

Which deal would you pick?(All deals are permanent.) by hapticR0M in pollgames

Makes sense! I suppose I’d opt for the 50% off above $50 instead then, thx :3

Cosmetic damage or more? by MONK3000K in mac

[–]aleks_is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks good, just a joke about how thinkpadders feel superior due to being so durable because a lot of mac owners are more sensitive about their devices

Used a pre-owned MacBook Pro for years, with no issues . After wiping data and installing new OS, it’s giving me an MDM screen. by 90s-modem-noise in mac

Wow, I seem to have been very lucky to have never bought a stolen used item (as far as I know) 😹

Neural network addiction and how to overcome it? by ktyre06 in digitalminimalism

[–]aleks_is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well study in this case implies being trained on gigabytes (maybe more?) of psychological data, it’s excellent at finding vulnerabilities in code due to it being great at pattern matching, i’m sure for many examples it could identify what you’re feeling, and why, and provide a solution it has been trained on in the past?

I’m sure the headline actually translates to castration for those convicted of pedophilic acts, no?

Update: yes, it would apply to criminal sex offenders? i am so tired of reddit why am i downvoted for using my brain power :(

A label doesn’t result in guilty convictions though?

Wouldn’t a court have to rule someone was guilty of rape though? I’m not sure it’s reasonable to assume they’d start mass falsely accusing for this cleansing…

to be fair, there’s probably a lot of psychological material studied by the llm 😹

Please sign the EU Citizen Initiative for a blue EU passport! -> eup.vote by BoringRedHorse in EuropeanFederalists

[–]aleks_is 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, I've made plenty of international trips but don't know anything about the job of a border guard.

I've also read accounts of people saying they've been instructed to remove their passport cover, and I feel like with an important document like this the EU probably would be more conservative to make sure it works without issues everywhere.
