I’m playing them preemtively, once they come down to a couple of dollars I’ll totally pay for them for all the time I spent playing them when they were expensive.

It’s a LOCAL privilege escalation vulnerability. You need sufficient access to be able to execute arbitrary code locally on the machine. You would need a remote code execution vulnerability in an exposed service (VPN, web server, game server and so on) before an attacker could chain to this to get remote root on your system.
Isn’t real debrid just a paid for leeching service? Shameless taking from the commons without giving back and charging for the privilege?


This disclosure has been rushed for the views and hype IMO, none of the big distros had fixes ready to go on this this morning.


I disagree that is legally no different, if you used a “grey” market seller to obtain access in a way gog deemed illegitimate then you never had license to use it. If you had a legitimate licence then using it after say gog terminated you account, you would still have legitimate license to use the copies you already downloaded despite gog not providing their services to you.


How is the license revocable without DRM? They have no mechanism to revoke it other than stopping you downloading it from them again.


Blueray bitrate is lower than even 1gbps so even full remux is downloadable at a speed you could begin to watch it the same day while later episodes continue to download. You wouldn’t need the full series downloaded up front.


Yeah I’m sure that will keep it offline.
Piracy is a correcting action on a massive market distortion. It’s a state enforced monopoly on any given idea. You know what other ideology liked state enforced monopolies? Communism.
Fertility rates have been falling across the world since the baby boom that followed WW2 in line with greater female education and labour market participation. Also people from poorer and less educated background in wealthy countries are the people who have the highest fertility rates.
I believe you are miss reading the correlation, having more children isn’t making people poorer, it’s part of a more complicated cycle of poverty that involves lower levels of education and attainment which leads to poorer income and poorer fertility planning. The strongest correlation is with female education levels.


The original code for that was leaked, most if not all replacement servers run that code, not reverse engineered code.


I wish I saw this kind of insightful point of view more often in the discourse over social media. It’s stopped being about being social once algorithmic content curation became the norm to drive engagement and advertising money which is the real evil.


At some point the argumemt that it’s to “protect the children” rather than to control and monitor what adults do will fall flat when more and more difficult to use work arounds keep getting banned that realistically only adults would employ.


Sadly being smarter doesn’t stop you being ignorant.


Point of order, if you mean pirate as in infringe copyright, that isn’t stealing.
Not to downplay your situation, but isn’t autism entirely about the symptoms when it comes to diagnosis? If you meet the diagnostic criteria then you are autistic regardless of the underlying mechanism? There is also no guarantee that dealing with the tumor would fully restore your brain to the way it was before.


Sure, but you didn’t have other coders asking the half baked ones to write a bunch of code for them, nor were the half baked ones prolific enough to shove their products out of the door before experienced devs shipped a better coded versions.


There is a significant difference between AI assisted and AI produced from what I’ve seen and experienced so far.
Assisted takes generated code and uses it to inform the code actually written, letting it fulfill a boiler plate function or the place of a junior coder at worst.
Then there are those project committing the AI produced code largely unreviewed and unchanged.
Former is mostly fine but needs an experienced coder who trained writing code unassisted (where are new coders of that caliber going to come from now?), the latter is a morasse of slop.
All found with some AI assistance and a lot of human expertise sifting through the hallucinations to work out the actually exploutable stuff. And the AI bug apocalypse has turned up a whole 4 bugs serious bugs so far, ooo scary. I’m still waiting to be impressed.
