The website is trash can someone summarize?

Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world)

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

I think there is something to respect about both types of games these days.

Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

TL;DR there was a backdoor found in the XZ program. All major distros have been updated but it is recommended that you do a fresh install on systems that are exposed to the internet and that had the bad version of the program. Only upstream distros were affected.

Student in IT with a digital forensics degree but, “that could be said with any software you install.” That’s not how security works you shouldn’t think about, “am I vulnerable because all software and hardware is vulnerable.” You should consider it like, “how likely am I at risk of being hacked with this software/hardware.” What is the trust worthiness.

Like consider this would you buy a gun from a stranger or from an official source. Which is likely to get you on a radar for a stolen weapon.

I absolutely love pokemon and I mean that with passion. I have an original, Gameboy, Gameboy SP, Nintendo DS, and 3DS with all of their corresponding Pokemon games, Crystal, Fire red, Leaf green, ruby, etc like genuinely love the game but I am absolutely wary of anything that runs well on iOS or Android unless I know where it is coming from.

While you might be fine what you should be aware of is that iOS doesn’t just always allow this kind of thing.

Additionally, compiling your own code from GitHub also doesn’t mean anything. Open Source is great but the chances of malware being less of a thing aren’t exactly true. I hope you enjoy the game but when their are actual security experts (I am not including myself in that category) telling you to be wary. I would consider those statements.

Oh no your lack of belief in my actractiveness to you has made me attracted to you.

What do you do?

  1. Roll a d20 this is a DnD scenario now.
  2. Ew, well I am not attracted to you, internet stranger.
  3. Wait, what if you were a woman? That would be less icky.
  4. Ugh comments like this prove humanity has gone backward.

I am bored all of these are acceptable answers…
