- Comment on [PlayStation] [DRM] Licenses now requires an online check-in every 30 days. 2 weeks ago:
I am not sure nowadays about the limit from Steam/Valve side.
Cached license ownership Steam App tickets data is indeed stored locally, including a property
appticketsin encrypted state in file…/Steam/userdata/${steamUserId}/config/localconfig.vdf.The data is to be eventually mapped to the interface
EAuthSessionResponsewhich may be used to implement the value fork_EAuthSessionResponseNoLicenseOrExpired.k_EAuthSessionResponseNoLicenseOrExpired- 2 - The user doesn’t have a license for this App ID or the ticket has expired.Source [web-archive]
This data is normally used by the Steam client only, and is available for explicit requests via Steam API, including launchers.

# App Ownership Ticket
This part of the ticket is signed by Steam and is valid for a longer period of time, usually a couple weeks. It proves to your peer that you own the game you’re trying to authenticate for. It can be reused many times with different GC tokens.
It contains things like your SteamID, the ID of the app it was assigned for, your external and internal IP addresses, the times when the ticket was generated and when it expires, the licenses you own which grant you this game, any DLC you own, and a signature.
Since this part of the ticket is signed, has an expiration date, and can be reused, there’s no need to send it to Steam for validation, so it’s validated locally.
If I do recall it correctly, previously, the Steam client debug console command
licenses_printreturned local “expiration times” for next checks with the remote API (as “handshakes”) within the 14 days limit.The encrypted tickets data is considered signed, and I do recall reading about its signed “expires at” was set to 14 or maximum 30 days only. The 14 days matches out with the discounting limit:
Launch discounts start once your title is released on Steam and can be staged to run for between 7 and 14 days, ending at 10am Pacific on the applicable day…

This is not actually true - Offline Mode is designed to be indefinite… Looks like Kotaku decided to link to this post from six months ago, and every game blog has copy-pasted it. The “two week” timeout issue has been fixed for months now, along with several other bugs. We’re still working on improvements, and you might catch them if you read the patch notes carefully, but we don’t bother to post on the forums every time we fix something (maybe out of fear that it will get posted as front-page news six months later?).
Source [web-archive]Yet, still, I wish I had more time… to investigate it myself. It feels like the signature time depends on the title. considering the following article:
I constantly see people unknowingly spreading misinformation about how Steam Offline Mode operates and most of it dates back to 2004…
This post exists to explain how there is no time limit on Steam offline mode and Steam isn’t going to prevent you from preserving your games forever, assuming you take steps to back up your installation (which you should do anyway for any digitally downloaded games.)Backup your Steam install folder, make one registry key, and you can play your games offline forever on any computer.

- Comment on I would write something extensive, but I don't wanna end up writing incoherent stuff, especially since I sometimes rely on AI to write stories for me. What should I do? 3 weeks ago:
If you do want to write an leave in the history a coherent work, respect your readers, and develop your self-confidence:
- You don’t use AI for writing as a… writer;
- You read others writers/artists works;
- You temporary focus on works on writing coherently;
You should actually consider what you want to tell to the world, and why other people would choose your book and how it would support them in their adventures, solutions searches, and realize your idea… you message you actually wrote…
AI will not help you as a writer but devalue your work.
AI is not you or your hand. It’s someone else, and is limited. It’s noise.
Are you sure you want to listen to noise? I believe you should read and listen to people. - ‘Seeking connection’: the video game (Arc Raiders) where players stopped shooting and started talking...www.theguardian.com ↗Submitted 3 weeks ago to games@lemmy.world | 45 comments

Thank you! Meanwhile, is there a historical/educational reference regarding the recycle logo side/design change decision in 2001, and its returned in 2006?

I was quite shocked when I got banned there for a single message in attempt to prove someone a probably unobvious but clear point…
Evidently, the moderation out there is quite… infant, disrespectful, inadequate, or simply… inhuman… to say the least…I wrote them in private, in attempt to clarify the reasoning, but - no response.

No words…Your question is quite a challenge, indeed! The soundscape sounds like a set of different genres in chiptune-like lo-fi jazz fusion sound, including soul jazz and chillwave, and I also hear some noir notes if feels like…

Wonderful day! 🪐
Ha-ha! Of course it’s okay to add emojis (or even emotes
( -.-)7to an accountable CV for responsible job to get trusted for! 😂
Especially those for security 🔒, privacy 🕵️♀️, transparency 👁🗨…If I would look at such CV in search 🧭 for a trusted developer 👩💻, sys-admin 💻, manager 📜, accountant 💸, and for military forces
( -.-)7, sure thing the pretty pictures would increase the feel of trust to the level of the outer space and beyond!!!1 💪Oh! And why just LinkedIn? Perhaps to enhance the sense of accountability, some would want to add emojis to some documents, including employment contracts, Banking issues, weaponry certificates, and passports! Let’s make is shine in sparkles! ✨
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Absolutely not, sorry. No. Never. The terrible sorrow you shared that pollutes, disgraces, devalues, and horribly damages the whole employment processing etc. is for “automating the job application process”.
The question is “gathered job listings”, which is for searching, not applying with no effort and value, I believe. These are utterly different cases/purposes. The former may indeed support someone in search. The later…? Dear, please… no…

- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 3 months ago:
I believe both titles are
abs((float)$incredible)/INF… The story, characters, references, technical features, or every single bit and algorithm is perfect…Not to mention upgraded kernels and shells, including drones and 'dgets!
Yet it all may not match the “good” you are searching for at this particular moment, or would it? How could we know!
Both titles were developed by different genius teams even, the former is Ubisoft Monreal, the latter - Ubisoft Toronto!
I.e. Even ifMetaSploitand notSnyk’s orPortSwigger’s but FOSS is there… you may still find that the payload in all the exploits the solution provides you with, written by OSINT or more hopefully red… authors on the wires, is indeed a required parameter to be set upon execution/injection by you, the main host in the network! 🦋How to not find
Watch_Dogs 2andWatch_Dogs Legionboth very different and ineffably marvelous…
I uploaded a few screenshots found in some remote backups:

- Watch_Dogs Legion: imgur.com/a/U07Yfch (Wrench ||is there, too, with Aiden||!); 👻Being bored and hateful is a choice. It all depends on what you are searching for, doesn’t it ^^

Sorry, no. And I am sorry you found LLM useful, and consider experimental/unverified data “dangerous”, likely inadequately or for the sense of hateful trolling. It’s hard to live that way I presume ^^"

Not only the author of the post frame the ineffably marvelous Ubisoft for their Assassin’s Creed only, or the people in the organization who are not even related to the case, and for literally unknown reason, but also the author of the review feels like a disrespectful bigot who has a bad time enough to inscribe their hatred into someone’s effort.
Such a deep sorrow some people do not care about their actions… and ruin this world in hatred and utter, disgusting unfairness…
