Any security system based on expecting good behavior from people is sure to fail. If NPM has no estructural features to enforce safe behaviors, it is vulnerable by default. As no person using it will apply safe practices unless forced to. Specially if the default, easiest, less friction behavior, is inherently unsafe.
There’s a second person perspective FPS where the game is a split screen of all the POVs of every enemy in the level. You still control your character and the shooting is doom style. So, just shooting in the correct direction of the enemy is enough. But essentially, you only see yourself when the enemy NPCs can see you. The views disappear and the split screen shifts as you kill enemies.
Because the video it not available. It’s a report on the upload of the video to the Steam store database. Probably prep work for the launch announcement day.
Shame I won’t be able to buy it for months after launch. But definitely will get it as soon as able.
Prison phone!
Isn’t that the thing NVIDIA was found to be lying about?
‘Oscar of Science’, so? Candidates buy their consideration for the prize with bribes, and the winner is voted by a bunch of white men who haven’t done anything in science in over a decade?
Youre right, its a game people are ‘told’ to buy, rather than a recommendation. The first thing they see when they start up their console will be an ad for it.
Always remember that, in the eyes of the law, the real crime is being poor.
They never released music, just metadata. It doesnt matter. This injunction is just legal posturing. They have no jurisdiction to tell foreign domain registrars to do anything. It takes an actual cop walking in on a data center to finally seize a site (surrender hard drives, reroute domains, etc.) If the server is in another country, it takes years to go through the red tape. If the country is not collaborative, it will never happen, specially since piracy is seen as a very low priority issue in the grand scheme of cyber crime.
Not personally but I think that tribalism is one of tools used by mega corporations to implement abusive practices. So claims that “console gamers will buy anything they’re told to” is a bad take that deviates conversations to put a blame on console gamers that is not honest.
the effects.
That you now know that a new product is being sold. Your arguments don’t make sense. How are people supposed to know what to buy if they don’t find out about it somehow, someplace? That place being Twitch, Steam, a webpage review, their best friend, a curated list by a popular YouTuber, etc. It is irrelevant. There’s nothing special on whether someone is a console or PC gamer. No one just buys whatever X source tells them to buy. That’s a desire to dehumanize someone just because they play games different than you. That’s intolerance and tribal thinking of the stupidest order.
Did I? the whole conversation is moot. Why wouldn’t a store show you what it is selling? Yes, launch titles get the spotlight for a while. Should movie theaters remove all the posters because it is disgusting marketing(?). There’s a difference between that and egregious, invasive and unethical advertisement. But it is impossible to expect a point of sale to not advertise what it sells. Even still, Steam allows you to disable startup ads and you can also boot directly to library so you don’t have to see the store page ever unless you want to. It’s so much different from what Play Station and Xbox do.
A store telling you what it sells?
Oh! The outrage! The audacity!
On the contrary. It relies on the premise of segregating binaries, config and data. But since it is only running one app, then it is a bare minimum version of it. Most containers systems include elements that also deduplicate common required binaries. So, the containers are usually very small and efficient. While a traditional system’s libraries could balloon to dozens of gigabytes, pieces of which are only used at a time by different software. Containers can be made headless and barebones very easily. Cutting the fat, and leaving only the most essential libraries. Fitting in very tiny and underpowered hardware applications without losing functionality or performance.
Don’t be afraid of it, it’s like Lego but for software.
Which is why international law has never recognized terrorism as a category. Any and all acts of armed violence from one country to another is a military action and constitutes an attack in the frame of an armed conflict. Terrorism is a political, not a legal, concept.
