- Comment on U.S. citizen told "you have no rights" during immigration arrest speaks out 1 day ago:
I don’t live in Florida (I’m a West Coaster), but there are two legal doctrines used for defensive force by a citizen: 'Stand Your Ground" laws (which mainly preside in the South and Midwest), and the “Castle Doctine” (Largely applicable to all states).
The Castle Doctrine applies mainly to your home or property - If someone is breaking into your home/business, you are granted legal permission to stop them through force, usually with the requirement that you provide an opportunity for the intruder to retreat first before escalating. IIRC there is an ongoing debate on if vehicles are included as a “Castle”.
The Stand Your Ground laws are usually based instead on wherever you have a legal right to be in - the street, a business, etc… and give you the right to engage in force against someone credibly threatening your life.
However, the obvious problem is that aspects of the Castle Doctrine (and the entirety of Stand Your Ground laws) are subjective in the “defender’s” judgement on whether a situation justifies force to resolve situations. People have been killed over ludicrously petty disputes and the consequences of the law are applied very unequally, so you have this disconnect of people feeling like they have Carte Blanche to shoot whoever they disagree with, those who fear for their lives because they could be shot at essentially any time of day anywhere with no repercussions, and those who can’t resolve their disputes using the laws because of discrimination.
I don’t live in a state that has Stand Your Ground or a full Castle Doctrine, so I can’t say for certain what things would be like in Florida, but I’m under the impression that they have both with minimal oversight.

As a Californian, I can confirm half the drivers here get their habits from playing too much GTA V.

Adnauseum covers the situation of how and why their solution at length in this research paper linked on their website if you’d like to get the meat and potatoes.
But to be brief, from my knowledge of how the software handles webpages (at least from my limited background as an Electrical Engineering student), the sandbox is only utilized to load enough resources to register the click to the advertising service by the website - you aren’t sent to the redirected site/content, and apart from the image of the ad being able to be seen from the vault, no external content is loaded. This is a safe way of handling things, especially since the sandbox is not granted access to the full privileges provided to you, the user.
- Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers? 4 days ago:
Word of warning - you will have more bandwidth usage since the ad clicks are being loaded in the background sandbox, so be warned if you have something like a capped data plan or something for things like a smartphone.

If the site has pay-per-click, yes.

I mean yeah, because the majority of sales are 1000% gonna come from the PS5 crowd, and I’d bet that most are not going to read reviews or news about rockstar beforehand.
PC might genuinely be impacted tho, especially if these layoffs translate to a more unstable game/unpolished jank.

Been on an indie buying spree on Steam, it’s awesome.

I wonder if it’s worth putting a request for the team to have that feature, although I’m guessing that would require API access that they can’t touch for legal reasons.

Hell yeah, good on ya. Also nice Weezer username reference.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 1 week ago:
Tbf, I think people are hoping for mainstream SteamOS as the “safe supported option”, because they are afraid of an “unintuitive experience” (This is basically a Linus Sebastian demographic problem).
Personally, I think that’s a bad judgement call (as platforms like Bazzite have already proven that an official SteamOS environment isn’t required to have a good time gaming and using your machine), but I guess that means there’ll be even more excitement once that releases.

Minecraft Java edition with mods is so good. Get them accounts and use an open-source launcher like PrismLauncher, you’ll be having a good time :)

I believe for Proton users the kernel level anticheat is substituted for a user level anticheat or is deactivated. Only for windows is the kernel level anticheat utilized.

Hey, the NCR came after the Great War, right?
Although I hope that’s not the bar we’re shooting for.

To defend the voice acting in The Finals - they obtained the consent for all the voice actors they use, and they pay them a commission for each new line they generate. It’s believed that one of the reasons they made that decision was to have things like improvised dialogue possible by the announcers (Scotty and June), for example.
They definitely aren’t cheating people out of money, fortunately.

Kernel Level Anti-Cheat For Windows Only. Embark specifically publishes a build for Proton Users validated by Codeweavers. We don’t have to worry about it :)

I don’t need advertisement-crossover content in my block game, thanks.
Also Minecolonies has been a Java edition mod long before it became a Bugrock Bootleg, also there is a literal dedicated program to convert actual sim city 2000 saves into Minecraft worlds in Java Edition.
Also, the quantity of Java modding theft is enough for me to say that if the platform was torched overnight, it would be a net benefit for the entire community, no question.

Fair, although stock Minecraft without QOL is rough around the edges (especially if we’re talking performance or accessibility)
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 1 week ago:
I’ll call cap for $500, Alex.
All of Java’s modding and mapping history? I think you might be referring to the Bugrock Bootlegs (there are plenty of those lol).
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 1 week ago:
Sodium, Let Me Despawn (prevents servers from going under 20TPS), No Chat Reports, and other QOL no content mods are essential for even running a server with vanilla clients tbh
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 1 week ago:
AFAIK no, there have been attempts but in general Bedrock servers are more “tightly integrated” (plain english - restricted from modding and doing things the “unofficial way” compared to stock Mojang binaries) compared to Java servers, which have basically free range to change what they wish.
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 1 week ago:
It is “compatible” using geyser as a bridge yes, but it causes a lot of headaches for the Java server owner to the benefit of the Bedrock player. Like duping being possible through manipulation of the client on a mobile phone.
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 1 week ago:
Users/friends locked onto a platform that doesn’t support Java edition because of Microsoft, notably Mobile phones and game consoles.
Whenever you hear about someone asking about running bedrock, it’s to play with the unlucky saps who have that edition as their only option. Other than that, always play Java.

Isn’t Motorola’s mobile division (with the exception of the PDA hardware acquired by Zebra Technologies) owned by Lenovo full stop?
I would imagine that might lead to issues later down the line for the Graphene team (although I’d love to be proven wrong).
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 2 weeks ago:
Installing the mod (or plugin) server-side strips all player chat messages of the information that makes them reportable, so no requirement is needed for the client (Although recommended for complete protection and for usage on non-compatible servers)
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 2 weeks ago:
The no chat reports mod and having community hosted servers that don’t really need to give a damn about what Mojang thinks (I’ll convert my server to support cracked accounts if I have to) kind of pulls the heavy lifting to allowing players to keep playing without having to give a shit about overall moderation by the company.
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 2 weeks ago:
Modloaders also mainly exist due to the onerous terms of any mojang/minecraft API for java edition that would exist - Forge/Fabric/etc… are designed to rip open the game and then stitch it back together with the desired goodies. Anything official would probably still have strings that would bind the modders, so modders won’t embrace the system wholeheartedly (similar to how datapacks can’t replace mods).
