Can't wait for the supporters to come out and gas light buyers instead: "uh, well of course they couldn't. He didn't lie you just don't understand tech...!

I work in IT and people that think like that can fuck themselves. "What do you mean Meta lied by selling your data to a company you didn't know about. Maybe you should just have never trusted Meta."

Stupid fucking boot lickers.

Its sure as hell is a stupid threatening way to put it.

He could have said something far more professional like, I don't know:

"She constantly wants to go to war but she doesn't understand what that is really like. Put her in the boots of a soldier and see how she holds up and maybe she would have some empathy."

Fuck Trump, he can't even speak like an adult or form a proper statement. There are so many ways this could have been executed in a professional manner. It is a threat regardless of you and the 25+ upvotes. The projection here is this is how a from of punishment for this kind of thing is seen in his world view.

By the way, he also knows jack shit about being in a war or being a soldier. Why don't we also put him in a military uniform and put him on the frontlines. This is fucking Trump just being fucking Trump.

People want to socially interact on a platform with the intention of letting you socially interact. I understand Mastodon intends to do the same thing as.BlueSky so the question is why is BlueSky more.popular.

As someone who uses both. Mastodon's UI and signup process is not as straight toward at least that is my personal reason why.

I am seeing a lot of negative comments on here and while I agree the franchise has grown stale I can also say the personal emails of employees being leaked is shit and shouldn't happen. Nintendo had to have their day and it came and here we are but it sucks employees are at the butt of the leak.

Also as a fan I welcome competition and games like PalWorld but the classic Pokemon games hold true to my heart and some of these leaks are really dn cool while others set a concerning precedent for what data companies leave laying around and for how long.

For those of you that are interested there are some really interesting things to come out of this for fans.

Source code to games sucks in one manner but gives modders and ROM hackers the opportunity to do many things. It is tools like this Nintendo should have just embraced providing or should allow the community to have community versions to do what they want with it after 25+ years. Maybe it would he less intriguing if those tools were open sourced and the may hidden items were just openly shared. There would be less incentive to steal if they innovated on tools or left old ones to the past to be what they are. However, likewise, legally it is their IP to do with what they want.

Source code is one but straight up editing tools for how they created e-card code for e-card readers. 3DS Dev Kits and Pokemon Beta games sets a whole other wheel in motion and gives players real power to do what will absolutely hurt Nintendo's bottom line and that is develop. That has to be a real wake up call to Nintendo.

Seeing leaks about the anime, movies, and future games is a bummer to me and I don't want any part of that. I would rather those stay a mystery so I can be ready to play them and even if you don't like Pokemon or Nintendo that is fine some of us hate Nintendo and like Pokemon because it was there for us as a child when your parents are going through a divorce. (TMI I know) point there is stuff adult me loves seeing because kid me would never have thought some of this would shed so much light on Nintendo's development and scrapped ideas and processes. While Nintendo should and very much will take action on their IP. I really think if they want to learn from this they will tackle damages on upcoming films, shows, and games. Instead of being embarrassed by old stuff they should just say, "fuck it" and embrace the community doing with it what they want. We are talking about 20 year old data in some cases and tools most people have already debugged, replicated, and deciphered.

Tor is only as safe and as secure as the person using it.

Most people think just installing Tor and running protects them and their identity. Most don't even look at things like DNS leaks or think a VPN plus Tor helps, that being said. Tor and Mullvad are probably as private and as secure as you can get by default.

This is why exclusives are bad, IMO. Not that the game can't be great but this is what comes with it. Companies trying to sell their product. Imagine if every PC game in Steam advertised and required a Steam Deck login.

Ah yes, the always shitty, "I know everything because I am that business and person all the time and better than them." Shit fucking comment.

At this point people who are like, "just use Linux" sound like, "just buy an iPhone." The only difference is the Linux people don't end up actually knowing shit about enterprise environments

I will get down voted because Lemmy is an Echo Chamber with people circle jerking their self justified opinions.

But seriously fuck off, dude. Anyone that literally says this doesn't know shit about an actual environment.

Let me know when fucking Oracle's shitty products work better on Linux boxes over Windows when their own fucking Linux products don't work. I will go to the business I am a part of right now and let them know we should just hire you to make all of our financial and enterprise setup choices because you said so.
