Dude log off already, others are having zero trouble getting what I meant

What else should I say when you use “weird” as a counterargument? That’s not rational, replying with a rational point doesn’t make sense.

youre a fed prove me wrong

Stupidest comment of the week

Seems like you are doing a lot of overthinking to argue against piracy on the piracy community

Surely, as in most modern games, the creators exact wishes is that nobody will be able to play it in a few years …

It’s kinda impossible to answer, since there are infinite possible ways to randomly generate noise, for instance

• White noise is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise
• Pink noise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_noise
• Brownian noise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_noise

(most random audio processes do not have a name). And if any audio is possible, like in these processes, you would never get an exact real song, but getting close (same as a real song but a little out of tune) would happen eventually.

I think a better analogy to infinite monkeys typing Shakespeare is randomly hitting the keys on a piano, though still, you would need to specify how the timing of the notes is randomized. If the lengths of the notes and the pauses are uniform and limited to standard lengths, eventually you would get, say Mozart’s Symphony no 5.

Log off for real

Ugh I hate infinite scroll. If some people want it, sure, you can implement it as an opt-in feature. But a lot of people use the fediverse to avoid the typical features of corporate social media

Gamers are the majority of the desktop space

96% of US households have at least one computer. There are under 14 million steam users in the US. The math isn’t mathing.

EDIT: mobile being at 15.3% is all we need to see here

Surely we don’t count steam deck nor think gamers are a representative sample of computer users

it’s already grown from ~1% to ~6% within the last couple of years

Source?

people aren’t usually paying for these licenses, their employers are.

For the average employee yes, but this disadvantages entrepreneurs, unemployed people who want to develop their skills, independent researchers, etc.

Good to know!

An LSAG signature proves that the signature came from one of the announced public keys, but it is impossible to know which.

I mean I just took the users word for summarizing the thing accurately, but doesn’t seem too complicated to me https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/112036

Either way, it’s not about this specific idea. It’s just that you need some technical way to combat bots, be it cryptography, web of trust, subjective moderation etc. If it’s open source, there will not be enough volunteers to do moderation

This kinda app would need at least an attempt at a technical solution to the bot problem. An open source app can’t just pay people to kick bots out. And even the paid apps that can are drowning in bots.

Something cryptographic maybe. Tor is kinda magical, makes anonymity possible while the each machine knows who they are talking to. Maybe something where you can show that you are “a verified user” without showing exactly which one.

I don’t think that many people are buying shit quality products second hand
