☂️-

more broadly than ram, from what i’ve been reading, they are already gearing up to do just that. semiconductors are one of the few industries they are behind in and it wouldn’t even be wise to depend on their rivals for their computing.

whether or not they will be able to pull it off before the couple of years it would take for western manufacturers to meet demand, or the ai bubble to burst is anyone’s guess, but i don’t think so.

a bit of speculation but i don’t think they would hate to be the gatekeepers of rented cloud computing to recoup costs after ai busts either so who knows, maybe we do need china to come sooner rather than later and flood the market with cheap computer chips.

stealing intellectual property from billion dollar corporations to be morally neutral

i consider it to be beautiful and commendably moral to steal back what they basically made us do for money/survival then claimed as their secrets only they can profit from, causing the whole predicament we are in in the first place.

ctrl+r on bash will let you quickly search and execute previous commands by typing the first few characters usually.

it’s much more of a game changer than it first meets the eye.

being surveilled is always bad. difference being one of them are constantly starting conflicts and meddling with foreign elections, the other haven’t been at war for decades.

told this story before but windows 10 force rebooted overnight after spending hours fucking with it so it doesn’t, while still being able to update manually.

lost me quite a bunch of work that was rendering in the background and the important deadline. lost the will to further put up with microsoft.

does it come with background fan noise and screaming toddlers?

what if i just want to scream at peruvians on dota2?

tbf 99% of cheats are paid anyway nowadays, and windows cheating is cheaper.

yes, i said as much. vanguard iirc needs cpu jitter and driver timing adjustments, and i found a patched kernel for it at some point. at least last i checked, this might have changed. and yea, depending on how aggressive the company is, expect your accounts to be disposable.

i’ve heard of the dp/hdmi thing and it’s so funny to me how they pour resources into it without being able to block cheaters at all.

i found this https://github.com/zhaodice/qemu-anti-detection which supports EAC and others but not vanguard. looks quite easy to use compared to what ive seen before.

i think ive seen ones that support vanguard before. i think vanguard needs a host kernel patch to mitigate, so it doesn’t detect the vm by measuring timing or something.

you would have to look around a bit but i’m sure it still exists. as long as it is still our machines, there will be ways around it, else cheaters would not exist. it just requires you to participate in the cat mouse game.

for the record, you can technically hide the vm and bypass those anticheat checks.

i hear its hard and annoying to setup.

games are technically almost all strictly for windows…

Unless the US does the thing where they decide to violently lash out

yeah they are already gearing up for it 🫩

the global south will have another chance and the east will eventually shine. and a period of peace after the storm passes. quite a lot of nuance and drama and death all along the way.

climate change fucking everything up for the worse somewhere in the middle of all this.

who wants to bet personal computers will become permanently unaffordable for regular people, and they will sell it back to us through a cloud subscription?

yay, big win! :)

shoutout to diolinux! dude is doing a lot of heavy lifting to help out new linux users over in brazil. and photogimp is quite useful everywhere.

i don’t really see you bother with the long history of your pay master’s imperialism in pretty much the entire planet, for the last 100 years in this thread. i bet venezuelans about to be thrilled with you yet again. a bit like palestinians. or you know, much of everyone else.

if you stop sounding like a spoiled fascist westerner that tries to blame your violence on everyone else, nobody will call you out for being one.

also practice what you preach. give it a little read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change

have a nice day.

nothing we are saying here so far is related to russia at all, but you keep bringing it up for some reason.

i’m being critical about what the fuck those uprisings are. you’d recognize critical thinking and would not be bringing it up if the propaganda you consume weren’t so keen on making (current us enemy) be hated on a frenzy.

you accuse me of something you need to do. study your own colonial history a little bit, and you will notice a pattern of meddling and regime change. also don’t believe every news article you read a face value, and you will develop your fabled critical thinking.

its just facts, don’t be offended by facts, and don’t be ignorant of refusing to accept them.

we should be looking for solutions to this conundrum though.
