  • The best I’ve seen was yesterday where a website had the log-in button greyed out after the password manager filled my creds in.
    So I had to manually click both the email and password field. Just click them. Then it enabled the log-in button.
    So someone took their time to write a piece of JS that said “If the user hasn’t focused both fields at least once, no login”. Literally why? Extra code that does nothing useful.


    I was hoping passkeys would be the solution to this madness, but it seems to me the entire spec gives too much power to the OS Makers and too little to the users because “mUh AtTtEsTatIoN” so now I don’t know anymore











  • You can. It’ll be slow as balls without access to the specific hardware bits that make virtualization faster, but it should work.
    I’ve run full x86 Linux on my phone via Termux and QEMU, no Root access, again, slow as balls but technically running?
    I see people doing it on iOS too with UTM SE (SE standing for “Slow Edition” since Apple is anal about JIT on their platform)

    On a computer it’ll be even easier, and given the extra grunt, maybe slightly less painful








  • Replicating the comment by lynx-yuiitsu:

    When a game is purchased by someone, it generates a key (token) for the game to launch.
    Crack games are basically either removal of the token or altering of the token.
    Offline Activation is sharing that “token” to others to play.
    You just download the raw game files - Clean Steam Files (CSF) but you game doesn’t launch so you just copy-paste the token in your game files to successfully launch the game.
    Now the discord server is basically a server having token of the certain games which are shared to everyone.

    So yeah, seems less like a crack and more like a Game/Account sharing scheme, meh.
