I am already using a GNU/Linux system but ridiculing Windows users and victims of Microsoft in general is one of the greatest pleasures in life.

mosquitoman

The difference is that software like Firefox, Virtualbox, Linux kernel, uMatrix, uBlock Origin, all of which I use as parts of my security stack are examples of free and open source software which means that I actually know fully what they do, and can inspect and modify the code. The entire program ...

All these things that Microsoft started doing with Windows 10 are well documented in slashdot horror stories and articles on dozens of websites. I have no idea why you'd be denying them. Especially since you offer nothing to counter all of the evidence. I mean, even this very website started showing...

mosquitoman

Because Windows updates, contrary to your retarded beliefs, are there to patch break ins and back doors. You mean create backdoors. What do you call it when a third party uploads arbitrary files to your pc and executes them without your knowledge or consent? That's malware, pure and simple. If you ...

Good one.

Mind elaborating why?

mosquitoman

Exactly. And you need to disable updates anyway if you don't want to wake up to a nasty surprise one morning. So effectively "support" for Windows 7 and 8 has already ended. There are only forced installations.

mosquitoman

They're going to switch to a subscription model eventually. In the 21st century you're not allowed to own anything, you can only rent endlessly.

mosquitoman

Correcting misinformation.

Microsoft offers Windows 10 for "free". What do you think their source of revenue is going to be? The long game is to trap you in a system you do not control and then they are free to use you however they please.

mosquitoman

Installing the system requires you to accept the End-User License Agreement, in which you agree to be Microsoft's bitch and agree to collection of any and all data it wants about you. So that's how they've been able to avoid courts so far. I like how they're bragging about huge, unprecedented adopti...

Hmm, the last time I tried building one with bluespace parts it had access to several additional chemicals, but the energy storage was tiny, like, maybe 20 units max. And it used more of it than the standard dispenser too.

mosquitoman

Why isn't the chem dispenser able to be dismantled and/or upgraded? Or built from scratch? You can build a portable dispenser which is somewhat neutered, as the maximum storage with the best possible components is still tiny. It would be nice to be able to add some advanced chemicals to the main dis...

Conspiracy - a group of people colluding to perform some action in secret. Those who engage in conspiracies are the ones that want you to believe that conspiracies don't exist. Look at this shit.

I mean, re-read your posts. They were incorrect then and are incorrect now. What is incorrect? That Windows 10 is a piece of spyware that sends unknown data to many different servers? We know for sure it includes, among other things, what you search for on your own pc as well as files you store. Wh...

You don't need a tinfoil hat. Windows 10 is spying on every user and it's a widely known, confirmed fact. Wouldn't be beneath them to hire plants to post encouraging messages on the internet.

AI can pick which laws to state, is there a way for robots to do that?

Thanks a lot, that's much clearer now. What do the effects define? And how is lighting the non-turf objects handled?

mosquitoman

Hi

Is there anybody here who knows how the lighting system works? Is it area or tile based? What's the actual algorithm doing?
I tried looking through the code but a lot of it is very hard to follow, with many dependent classes in separate files and whatnot.

ideas for more gear:

- department dufflebags/satchels
- bike horns
- wet floor signs
- medal of captaincy
- nuke disk
- iphone cases that look like various pdas

how does it feel to be this insecure?

do you think anyone would care if you said something like "I sometimes like to play this game on the internet"?

That's obscure, arcane knowledge that the unrobust do not possess.

You can also make meta lag traps by stacking tons of useless shit on one tile and waiting for somebody to right click that. The whole window freezes for several seconds if you gather enough items.

There's a lesson here. First it starts as a regular PR. It's rejected after most people are opposed to it. Then it gets reactivated as an "admin-only" thing. Then an "unfortunate bug" not only causes the whole "admin-only" restriction to be null and void, it also puts c...

I might take a look at it actually.
You do have more than metal limbs and HUDs.

Nobody uses it though. Which means something needs to be changed if you want to see it in the game.
