   It actually still works to this day. Doubleclick the top left menu button (the one with the app icon) and your window closes.

   "abusive", "silly", "couldn't care less", "nonsense", "literally illegal". I don't think you'll find many people want to join your cause if you are this aggressive.

   More on topic, I agree that you should be allowed to do with your computer what you want. That includes defeating their anti-cheat measures. Your computer, your rules. In return, they can refuse to support you or ban them from their servers. Their stuff, their rules.

   But this idea that you are entitled to tell them they have to provide you with a version that does not have their anti-cheat measures, that is pretty far out there. That is where most people will stop following your reasoning.

   YMMV.

   It's not clear what freedom you are sacrificing. Nobody is forcing you to play those games. If you don't want to let them run their anti cheat system, don't do it. This is not some unavoidable measure.

   What a strange hill to want to die on.

   Why would AGI not be possible?

   It might be hard, it might be difficult, but it is definitely possible. Us humans are the evidence for that.

5. efdee Nov 26, 2025 parent

   I respectfully disagree, but disagree hard.

   a) Nothing about letting AI do grunt work for you is "not being a craftsman". b) Things are subcontracted all the time. We don't usually disrespect people for that.

6. efdee Nov 26, 2025 parent

   For me, AI is definitely a table saw. YMMV.

   C# had async/await long before Javascript/node. Not that big a revelation ;-)

   Nowhere does anyone claim that "let's go" means "you should let us go". The discussion was whether "let us go" automatically means "you should let us go", which it does not.
10. efdee Sep 16, 2025 parent

    Maybe as far as you are concerned, but not as far as the law is concerned ;-)
11. efdee Sep 16, 2025 parent

    You can't always replace "let us" with "let's", but you can always replace "let's" with "let us".
12. efdee Sep 16, 2025 parent

    "Let us go" does not only mean "you should let us go" but it is also the first person plural imperative implying that we go. Whether you shorten it to "let's go" or not does not change this.

    Same as how "let us pray" is frequently used as well.

13. efdee Sep 16, 2025 parent

    Let literally means a lot of things, one of them being "allow us to". But that is only one of many of its literal meanings.
14. efdee Sep 16, 2025 parent

    True, but the point was not that they were asking permission, it's the "let us do this together" meaning to which the OP takes offense. He feels like it implies he cannot do it on his own.
15. efdee Sep 16, 2025 parent

    You have a point. But on the other hand you have no idea of what tools the intruder possesses, only (at best!) what they used.

    I think intent probably matters a lot more than the technicality of how you succeeded.

16. efdee Sep 16, 2025 parent

    Breaking in in a system, whether or not the password was easy to guess, sounds like a crime to me.
17. efdee Sep 16, 2025 parent

    I can't think of any situation where "let's" does not mean "let us"?

    Same for Explorer, really. The SMB hosts that announce themselves show up in the sidebar.

    But what if we hire nine women instead of just one?

    I think you're confusing Microsoft and Apple. :-)
21. efdee Jun 23, 2025 parent

    I used to, but I don't consume enough YouTube videos anymore to make it worthwhile. Give me a top-up plan that I can use to pay for individual videos and I will definitely do it.

    But what's with the weirdly aggressive second part of your message?

22. efdee Jun 23, 2025 parent

    Weird. I'm pretty sure that deciding whether or not to watch ads is entirely my choice.
23. efdee Jun 21, 2025 parent

    I'm very much willing to pay for their content, but not in the way of watching ads during the videos.

    From the same rules: "Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did."

    But not having to dual boot and just get both worlds at the same time definitely beats having to dual boot.
26. efdee May 13, 2025 parent

    What marketing?
27. efdee May 12, 2025 parent

    They didn't "forget" to lock the door that one time. They just never lock it. The guy yelling it out loud is pissing off all the people who already knew you didn't. He is not the one to be angry at.
28. efdee May 12, 2025 parent

    Remind me what the 30% markup is for, again?
29. efdee May 11, 2025 parent

    Strange wording. You are the one that put tens of thousands of your users at risk. Not the one who discovers the problem.
