Pirates: “I’m 4 dimensions ahead of you.”

SuperSpruce, to piracy in Film studios demand IP addresses of people who discussed piracy on Reddit

I’m getting deja Vu. Didn’t thjs happen last year, too?

lefixxx,

Articles says it’s the third tome

cryptiod137,

What happens when they get the fourth tome?

AnxiousOtter,

Straight to jail.

fossilesque, to RedditMigration in Op-ed: Why the great #TwitterMigration didn’t quite pan out
@fossilesque@mander.xyz avatar

I have no idea why they are publishing pieces like this, and it’s objectively false. Mastodon had over 60,000 sign-ups in the last week, and my feed is as busy as it ever was. It went from like 4 million when I signed up less than a year ago to over twelve million now.

@mastodonusercount

  • 12,869,719 accounts
  • +411 in the last hour
  • +12,425 in the last day
  • +69,252 in the last week

Active users have gotten over their initial spike and have now levelled out several orders of magnitude larger than it was months ago.

This may be overly cynical, but the same company owns Reddit and Ars Technica.

Articles which would make one tend to expect failure of the Reddit migration are aligned with the interests of that company. This may not be related, but it hard not to notice.

I think it's because there was a hope for wholesale migration of most/all users from Twitter to the Fediverse. Or at the very least for enough migration to make Twitter a barren landscape that would precipitate its imminent demise. Neither of those happened. Of course, neither of those are realistic outcomes either.

Got_Bent, to piracy in Film studios demand IP addresses of people who discussed piracy on Reddit

Fortunately for me, I’m too old to know how to pirate even if I wanted to do so.

However, I’m sure the fine people at Broderbund would like to have a long conversation with me from way, way back in the day.

Choplifter and Karateka took up hours and hours and hours of my elementary/middle school years.

JackbyDev,

Well, if you download software like qBittorrent be sure to not accidentally download and torrents to copyrighted content.

BlackPenguins,

Or use a VPN while you do it.

If you were playing Choplifter in elementary school, you’re really not THAT old. Or you are and that makes me old too, but I’m -hypothetically- completely capable of figuring out piracy. Don’t short yourself, there’s always room on the high seas.

Got_Bent,

I think I was in fifth grade when Choplifter came out. I got that sweet sweet apple ii joystick so I could play it better than with the keyboard

If you were playing Choplifter in elementary school, you’re really not THAT old.

If you had to load Choplifter into your Apple II to play it with a cassette tape recorder, then yes, you are old, you are a first gen computer game player.

Reddfugee42,

Of course, knowing how to do something has nothing to do with age; there are people over the new who could teach you just fine 😅

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

were you held back 10-20 years or so? The oldest 5th grader ever?

I’m trying to figure out how a 70+ year old was playing Karateka in school.

BigTrout75, to linux in Why more PC gaming handhelds should ditch Windows for SteamOS

Are there more than just Steam Deck?

TwinTusks,
@TwinTusks@bitforged.space avatar

There are many handheld PC gaming devices, however, none can match Steam Decks’ price with its performance.

A bunch of them saw Valve say “We’re coming out with a gaming PC that vaguely resembles an adult Nintendo Switch” and went “uh yeah us too!” I know Asus and Lenovo have one.

Brocon,

I think he meant more consoles with SteamOS.

The next Ayaneo handheld is going to use SteamOS.

That’s literally the second paragraph in the linked article. Do people not actually read the articles on here?

jacktherippah,

Yeah, they’re former Redditors. They don’t read past the titles.

XTornado, (edited )

To clarify, not an official Valve version, just in case somebody is wondering.

It’s HoloISO or a modified version based on it, which is a Linux distro that bring most of SteamOS to other devices (except ones with Nvidia).

null,

Is that reported somewhere? As in, we know for sure they didn’t get it from Valve?

XTornado, (edited )

Yeah AYANEO themselves confirmed it. It mentions HoloISO, although I think originally it didn’t and said SteamOS and some posts/comments etc did say otherwise due to that.

www.ayaneo.com/article/806

null,

Thanks for the link!

It’s kinda more interesting that they are leveraging HoloISO rather than it just being a straight-up partnership with Valve.

So this is only for the background of the motherboard boot up logo like from Asus, Acer, Gigabyte ect? Not your grub or rEFInd background correct?

Correct.

BIOS booting stays winning

I wonder if old BIOS are vulnerable…

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Nope, they aren’t as universal as EFI. I think the closest comparable attack vector for “old tech” is a bootsector virus.

const_void, to linux in Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

We need more machines that support coreboot. These proprietary firmware vendors have been getting rich off making our machines worse for too long.

i use coreboot but i’d prefer libreboot if a gaming level system with linux supported it. Are their any? I ask to the masses, not you specifically lol

Mr_Blott, to reddit in Reddit must share IP addresses of piracy-discussing users, film studios say

This sounds like something I’m waaaay too European to have to worry about lol

taiyang, to fuck_cars in Higher Vehicle Hoods Increase Pedestrian Deaths

What? Really? We just tell Congress, surely more data will have them regulate car size immediately. /s with a sigh.

PowerCrazy,

When a certain popular president and congress passed the bail-out of the domestic vehicle industry, written by the same in 2008 that allowed such vehicles to be more profitable then a smaller cars, he was awarded a noble prize and reelected in a landslide.

JCreazy, to piracy in Film studios demand IP addresses of people who discussed piracy on Reddit

After reading the article, it looks like the studios want the IPs to show that Frontier is allowing piracy on their ISP and they claim they don’t want it for financial compensation.

asteriskeverything,

This is true.

What I also gathered from the article (for further context) is that these are the same lawyers who tried to the other 2 cases of piracy on reddit. This time the argument is that it is not a violation of the first amendment right because they want the data to go after the ISP
