  • Well, just the usual, slightly less optimistic every year. I believed that world is fair even if it sometimes takes a while, that I’ll be rich, that you can achieve anything if you try enough.

    Over time I learned that the world isn’t fair, that you can’t be rich if you have a conscience and that you can only achieve what the ones with power over you will let you.

    All of that of course has an exception: you might get lucky.

    The most recent change was when I started watching two kinds of cases and what is the usual resolution / punishment. It’s rape cases and who gets to keep the kids when people break up. Rapists usually walk away with very lax punishments with bullshit reasons and women almost always get the kids, even if the woman is straight up a psycho and the man is just a regular guy.

    I wasn’t under the impression that judges were somehow better than the average person, but this kinda showed me that they’re actually much much worse than the average person.




  • Yeah, it most likely isn’t an exe but a Linux binary! Other than that, you can probably run the server on your computer pretty easily. You probably won’t be able to host anywhere close to the number of players the official servers do, but that’s just a matter of stronger hardware.

    So yeah, they don’t provide the server because they’re “evil”.

    They could also do the bare minimum of patching the game so it allows any server and avoid stuff like certificate pinning etc. and then provide an OpenAPI specification for the server and let the community create their own server if they want.





  • Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.

    And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).
