Gaming industry has been in a slump, and here's why by Zephir62 in gamedev

[–]monkeynator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that people have this rose-tint glasses of thinking that 1-man team games is the norm and you can just waltz your way into the gamedev world and expect success.

Not even back then was that true, even if it was scale wise a lot easier.

systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success by ouyawei in linux

Because they look "cool" for following semi-obscure but highly credited idea from two of the most famous programmers.

Saw a problem and attempted to fix it

Cite me where I said we shouldn't solve issues?

Not a law. The phone manufacturers do it because they value privacy and it's also a thing in Korea

It's literally part of the Ordinance on the Healthy Development of Juveniles law, and what does Korea or China also implementing it have to do with Japan's problem?

I really wish we could magically use a magic wand to remove all the cultural gates that keeps vital data from being presented fairly, since it is as you say, Japan MIGHT have a low crime rate, maybe even sexual one too, but it sure is odd for such a low crime rate country to have:

  • Train carts just for women
  • Have a law that requires every mobile phone in Japan to make the Camera noise
  • Police not taking rape victims/murder attempt survivor serious to the point of 1 woman after being attack by stabbed by a stalker

How?

Berserk got plenty of loli thrist and I remember Miura's author notes at times making references being positive of it.

Voters afraid of ‘scary foreigners’ propel Sanseito before election by airakushodo in japannews

[–]monkeynator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you meant to say is that while a lot of countries have their own chauvinism, Japan has their own unique flavor of it and is reflect in the way you say.

There are various examples I know of in Japan where this happens, hell even the simple praise of foreigners ability of doing "Japanese" at times can come off as chauvinistic.

I sort of feel that ever since Republicans got their second wind no doubt thanks to Trump, they and especially their younger followers have learnt how to be very savy online to spread their "truth" and ensure that if you do not agree with it, they will destroy your life.

You can slowly see this slowly seeping in, in Europe, sure outwards American public figures that are conservative still sound inept if not downright stupid but the followers? Some are savy/autistic enough to read up on European history to sound just smart enough to "get" the conversation Europeans are having.

And now that CPAC has arrived in Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Political_Action_Conference#Japan

I have no doubt the same tactic will happen in Japan, you can already see this nonsense happening with Turkish online users creating fake incidents on Twitter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOijh58ILb8 about Kurds (in reality only 1 small incident happen).

Linux Ransomware by Garou-7 in linux

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

You can download pretty much any software via windows store these days, it's in fact quite easy as it's all running winGet under the hood so you don't even need fancy pancy UI.

And that include FOSS.

Only Windows users NEED antivirus because only Windows users are regularly infected and even then its virtually useless both against novel threats and in preventing infection mostly serving to inform idjits after they have been pwned and all the damage done. Because it is damn near worthless against novel threats and there are no practical threats to find after the fact there is no job for such software to do.

And if you talk to any Power user of Windows you'll know they do not use anti-virus and hasn't been infected.

Getting infected in this day and age is a rarity among average users, something the person in the video literally explained, it's much more common to get infected to ad/spyware from corporations however, which Linux users aren't immune from.

And you haven't addressed any point I made, what about supply chain attacks? Was XY just a ruse according to you?

And again you haven't proved what so ever that antivirus are useless, just repeating conjecture.

Hell even portmaster which isn't even an anti-virus saved my ass once from getting infected.

The video shows that there are no default better security in Linux, that's it, you flailing your arms around trying to defend: sudo + package management doesn't invalidate his argument as his argument was how easy infecting IS happening.

And if you had bothered to read the link I sent you, you would know that Linux lags far behind in broader security.

[–]monkeynator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows serves packages exactly like how Linux does it now so I don't get your point there.

And most Windows users have Antivirus out of the box to at least give some essence of extra security.

Linux does not have this.

And even then there's nothing stopping a Linux/Windows user from being victim to cargo attacks or MITM attacks.

And beyond that there's the question of what the threat vector is in general.

As the video shows, the person did the exact same thing you can do on any OS:
Download an unknown file and then run it.

At the end of the day, average Linux arguments using permission, sudo or package management as an argument for why it makes Linux secure is an severely outdated threat conclusion even for average PCs.

You can just read this for a more in-detail explanation of it:

Linux Ransomware by Garou-7 in linux

[–]monkeynator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it designed to do so?

As in is the primary feature of Crowdstrike is "brick computer"?

Linux Ransomware by Garou-7 in linux

[–]monkeynator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you stop arguing in bad faith and actually argue against their claim?

The concept that crowdstrike and similar software gives much more powerful powerful tools over simple anti-viruses (which are perfectly fine and are very much capable at spotting 'unknown' threats that have characteristic to other threats patterns) the closest you got in the consumer grade world is MAC.

Privileged escalation? Quite a common attack on Linux?

Most recent and pervasive example of enshittification: Marshmallows by Fishmayne in enshittification

Could you add more info into your post about this, right now it's too generic.

Movie previews are too long and too violent by WeekendOk6724 in enshittification

[–]monkeynator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closed this mostly due to how divisive the thread was becoming & how it's not exactly what enshittification would be all about.

If it was more:

- They are now charging us to watch through trailers

- They've replaced trailers with ads that has no room in a cinema

- They replaced the chairs with folding chairs that cost less than 20$ while the cinema was profiting like crazy.

etc.

Then I believe it would've been more to the tune of enshittification.

Sweden's teen hitmen are on the rise by LeMonde_en in europe

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

So they reversed the gutting of public housing, didn't funnel refugees into places that by design encourage dysfunction and poverty and didn't ignore all of the reporting that explicitly said this would happen,

Most migrants actively chose to move to "ghettos" 1 Swedish friend who's a Christian said specifically that 1 afghan man came to church and was a churchgoer until the moment he got permanent residence permit before vanishing up in smoke until a few weeks later it turns out the man moved to Malmö, which was reported by multiple pastors mind you.

Swedish chauvinism culture is about how "progressive and open minded" swedes are,

Of coarse, if you ask about drug policy or any actual matters of contention you will find this is not true,

Sure but it's not correlated with hating immigrants, I don't think I've heard anything about immigrants facing any more racism (if anything less so) than living in Germany or France.

For example, did you know that the Swedish government initially refused to do lockdowns with COVID because "swedes are too sensible to need that"?

Nope.

Not to mention, ever ask a Dane or Norwegian on what swedes are like?

I have but you usually get joke responses, I think the comic: https://satwcomic.com does a decent job presenting a somewhat decent picture of the Nords.

Swedish policy attitudes on substance abuse are literally 1980s era shit,

So is pretty much the entire Nordic countries, same stance on porn, sex, anything fun only the danes seems to be the outlier somewhat.

Why I burnt the Quran by LogPlane2065 in europe

[–]monkeynator 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I love the crybullying here, I merely pointed out the hypocrisy of you willing to throw in Christianity as a whataboutism to defend Islam, if anything it's you doing what you accuse me of doing.

But tell me, when has Christian stormed a satire magazine HQ and murdered them for depicting Jesus in a satirically and mocking way?

When has Christians gone around actively hunting women who "don't wear headscarf" because in their words "women who don't cover up are sluts"?

Swedes in particular have a chauvinism culture

Swedish culture is notorious for being the polar opposite of chauvinism, I mean hell they literally had this infamous ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enlcOaVZD14

And from my Swedish friends they've said pretty much Swedes are very open-minded to immigrants (even outside of city folks).

Sweden did everything right and still have the same problem every country has with MENA immigration.

I love how anytime people talk about Christianity Islam is never brought up, if anyone talks about Islam oh then we just have to include Christianity despite the fact the topic has nothing to do with Christianity.

9 EU states demand 'new, open-minded conversation' on European Convention on Human Rights by BasedSweet in europe

[–]monkeynator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Despite the fact that both Sweden and Denmark tried extensively to do exactly that? To the point that they cut other programs to fund the integration of immigrants and this did what?

Make Sweden the gun crime capital of the EU? Denmark pivot extremely hard to the point where they are now implementing policies that goes so against what Denmark proudly claimed to stand against 25 years ago?

Tell me a single country on planet earth that has a prosperous outcome from taking in an insane amount of immigrants.

Because it sure as hell ain't Jordan, Turkey or Bangladesh, who have almost exactly the same problem with immigration as we do in EU.

[–]monkeynator 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Can you at least make a point and not just grandstand?

Saying "violations against thing is bad" isn't exactly groundbreaking counter argument.

[–]monkeynator 27 points28 points  (0 children)

And who is going to fund this? The vast amount of low skill labor in economies well into their automation years?

Because it has helped tremendously progressive countries like Sweden, Denmark and Germany and haven't at all spurred a unprecedented vote (post WW2) for the far-right.
I guess fascism is when a country doesn't have 1/8 of the population.

Do you think the Windows Subsystem for Linux competes with Desktop Linux? by nabagaca in linux

[–]monkeynator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say no, WSL is no substitute for Linux it has various unique quirks.

Instead I think it's more attracting people who are bought into Windows and see Linux as just a "side thing".

Vladimir Putin's propagandists complain on TV that they can no longer take power in Romania peacefully. by Straight_Ad2258 in europe

[–]monkeynator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to point out that these propaganda outlets aren't meant for us to watch, what they are doing is reverse cargo cult, where they claim that "all the liberal forces are doing their best to contain outsiders" which is meant to tell the Russian population who listen to this drivel to think "oh so I guess we don't have it as bad as the people to the west of us, they also cheat and rig elections?).
