  • You’re misunderstanding what end-to-end encryption is. If they have a copy of your private key, it’s still end to end encrypted. The alternative would be akin to a TLS termination proxy, where your device would encrypt a message using Facebooks public key, they decrypt message, store it, and then Facebook uses your chat partners public key to encrypt and send to them. You cannot send an encrypted message straight through to your chat partner.

    What I’m insinuating is that there’s no way to know if Facebook has a copy of your private key. The message is still end-to-end encrypted, it is encrypted by you using your chat partners public key, and passes through all of Facebooks infrastructure encrypted, until your chat partner receives and decrypts it. If Facebook stores the message, it’s stored encrypted. They can just decrypt it when subpoenaed or whenever they want bc they have the required private key.

  • Did you run gpg yourself to generate the key pair, then exchange pub keys with your chat partner? Or did Facebook generate the keys for you from within a closed source application?

  • That made me lol so hard. Like what’s the fucking point of this thing when it comes up with shit like that?

  • I smoked Reds in high school bc I thought they were cool or something. I smoked Newports as an adult. I sick don’t understand the whole “mint/menthol is aimed at kids” thing.

  • Ahk, gotcha. I was referring to the fact that it only takes a few thousand to legally bribe a state representative.

  • More like a few tens of thousands.

  • Old timey western shootouts. You shoot each other at high noon not waning noon.

    DST is best T.

  • TIL draft age cutoff is lower than maximum enlistment age. Closest is USMC at 28 years old enlistment cutoff. Weird.

  • What show is it?

  • While we're here, why would anyone buy a windows-on-arm device? Windows RT should have taught them this lesson that nobody fucking wants windows outside of the begrudging desktop

    I think you’re taking the wrong message from this. I don't think the author intended you to read the article and think that EA is targeting low compute ARM netbooks, I think the author intended you to come away thinking that major AAA devs are actively preparing for a landscape in which x86 is no longer the dominate desktop processor architecture/instruction set.

    Regardless of how you feel about the company, Macs running Apple processors using the ARM instruction set are proof positive that ARM based cpus can replace x86 in compute scenarios higher than netbooks.

    Unless you’re specifically referring to the Windows bit of it, in which case I agree.

  • Dnb soundtrack for the clip is fire. Bro level 13 sniper is crazy work.

  • Because the way valve does it you need the purchase a key with real money to unlock the box, to get the random drop from it. Random loot isn’t the problem, it’s paying real money for the chance to get the random loot.

  • No, that’s not what’s happening. There’s a lot of drama going on in the pro scene right now. Relationship drama and potentially actual physical and sexual abuse led to some players being banned from PHL, then the players who were accused rounded up a bunch of pro players to boycott PHL this season which led to Embark removing the ability for players in PHL to skip open qualification for TGM26. Now everyone is scrambling to cover their own asses and figure out how to proceed.

  • Not trying to change your mind because if you don’t like it you don’t like it, but the fame was developed and play tested as a PvE game. It was slated for release before The Finals. The playtesting revealed that the game was just not fun. The developers, the play testers, everyone involved felt it was boring. They delayed the game and created what was released.

    I understand not personally enjoying what was released, but Embark made a decision to change the gameplay during development on their own, they weren’t forced to by a publisher or anything, and they didn’t renege on any promise or anything.

  • I upgraded from an fx6300 to a Ryzen R5 1600 when they launched, and that was mind blowing. I can’t imagine what going from an fx6300 to an R5 in 2025 would feel like. That processor has been released 13 years before you upgrade, that’s impressive.

  • I might have misunderstood the comment I replied to, and the username led me to think it was intentionally snarky because of the thumbnail. In that case yes, it is extremely ironic.

    As an aside, I taken some training and certification exams from a vendor that’s pretty highly respected in my industry. When I started taking their courses they provided student interaction and lab help from employees through a forum. They deprecated that and moved entirely to Discord in like 2021. Now it’s a flood of the same questions asked over and over again, and it doesn’t feel like an extension of the learning process when you have to ask a question or get help. I hate everything about it.

    These people offer training courses up to and including shit like security mitigation bypasses, complex heap manipulations, and 64-bit kernel exploitation. They are more than capable of rolling their own self-hosted platform, and if their students can’t figure out how to use a forum idk what they’re doing in the course in the first place.

  • It’s a blog post.
