How many EA games require you connect to their servers just to play? How many have ToS where you need to install any updates before you play? How long before these PE folks figure out they can push updates to even older games that add data mining capacity?

In this instance, what is “authentication data” and what could someone do with it?

All of this has happened before.

At one point I worked in a role where I helped people with tech issues, including getting printing and scanning done for documents that needed to be signed.

I regularly had people coming with letters to potential landlords for printing/signing/scanning, thanking the landlord for the opportunity to view a rental, noting the listed rent, and offering a higher rent and/or a cash gift if they were the tenant who was selected.

Very illegal and scummy, exploiting desperate people and families. This app feels like the codifying of that shady landlord behaviour.

Is it just me, or does the first photo seem to read that the payment processor standards and the removal of invest games are unrelated? Like, games removed that violate payments processor standards removed. At the same time, incest games are removed too.

With the paragraph break it feels unclear that these incest games are likely in violation of the standards, and instead that they are seperate matters and in fact payments processors may not care about incest games at all.

Can’t steal what’s already stolen.

Damn right, it’s better than yours

I can teach you, but I’ll have to charge

Career ending? Or career transitioning to an American company or political post?

Except this time, with memers, giffers and shit-posts!

In summary, we have an unsourced claim that bogus pirate IPTV portals, designed to deceive “ordinary people” (the term is used twice in the article), have been operated by law enforcement in Italy for the last year. The alleged purpose is to gather evidence in support of an administrative offense punishable by a 150 euro fine, if indeed any offenses were even committed by the hundreds of people reportedly identified.

Don’t catch you slippin’ now

Is a timber frame house from back then the same as one built post 1950 though? Some Q’s:

• Have materials/practices decreased in quality?
• Has there been a shift from a sense of pride in craft and duty to build well towards cutting corners and saving $?
• Has the density and properties of wood changed as we use smaller trees grown more quickly in monocultures compared to old-growth harvested lumber of pre 1900s?

Onions back!

Been down mostly for a week or two, started with DDoS issues, not sure if that’s ongoing or if the onion site is just gone now.

As far as I can tell? No, but I just did a search of the onimbus for some keywords. The mental image feels very Adamsish though, doesn’t it? I may have unconsciously plagiarized it from somewhere. Props to you if you can find the source. Maybe it’s a Pratchettian quote? Or Giamanic?
