I think they will come around to that part after some searching, but for now I think they have a lot of pirated software. Like it was in this country, no laws about pirating, expensive software, had to play on something, had to do work somehow. As the rest of the world uses that, they just pirate it.
Of course there are some xceptions where free software is starting to be videly adopted like Blender. I think they will teach Blender in future there in Ghana. Things like Metalness workflow, principled BSDF, EEVEE. all the good stuff.
Certain processes are vital to the computerâs operation and should not be killed. For example, after I took the screenshot of myself being attacked by csh, csh was shot by friendly fire from behind, possibly by tcsh or xv, and my session was abruptly terminated.
Well, maybe itâs different here, but I didnât have the impression that people could be so adddicted as to make such a silly product viable or desirableâŚ
I did some mining as Alpha in my old MineRokh and that healed my nostalgia. I donât like the new stations, I donât like not having a CQ, and I donât like knowing that there is no way I could PLEX not even a single of my accounts by doing the things I liked doing. EVE is becoming a stranger to me.
Admittedly I wondered whether I could find a public ore compression service, but apparently that canât be found around my home system, or maybe doesnât exists in highsec, or some other stupidity.
I wonder what makes them think that any message capable to destroy our systems will begin by being compatible with them. Our computers are binary because thatâs how their hardware works, but thatâs not the only solution and even once you have a binary system, you donât necessarily may stick with multiples of 2 as bit multipliers. Maybe someone thinks that the appropiate amount of bits in a byte are 7, or 19, or anything but 8. We took automated calculators and turned them into programmable computers, but anyone developing a computer from scratch may prefer something a bit more flexible than on/off states.
We already gave them ideas in âIndependence Dayâ movie. If they can land here, they will find out and make antiviruses. Of course if they are so dumb as to not have them already, which is dumb idea in the first place.
The paper assumes that aliens deliberately send us malware. When theyâve gone out of their way to specifically target us with computer malware, itâs bound to be compatible to our systems. Otherwise there wouldnât be much point in doing it in the first place.
EVE ads everywhere⌠I shouldnât have open that thread in GD!
Seriously, letâs say you donât know of EVE Online and you read âcities in space built by playersâ⌠wouldnât you think of something like this?
Instead of this?
Itâs not a city. Itâs a single building (and a ugly one btw). Where are the different buildings? Who contributed building what? Oh, no, you just plant a station egg and let it grow. Very inspiring.
Huh⌠no. Just vanilla FF. I donât have an issue with ads as most places I browse donât have ads or have little⌠but those little ads I see now are mostly about EVE Online and War Thunder.
All the tracking data is used for way more than ads. Theyâre building up detailed profiles about you that influence credit scores and the like. When youâre out online shopping, the price gets changed based on your browsing history and all the data they have on you and so many more thingsâŚ
That sounds nasty, although I donât really shop online and barely use my credit card outside of physical commerce. Is there some sensible way to skip the tracking?
