AI slop, pretty sad.

Programmers turning into mindless slop feeders.
Yet another reminder, lawmakers US/EU/Anywhere else, should force all browsers to actively block fingerprinting.
These corporations don't give a sh...
Only thing you can do is to petition your lawmakers to ban whole platform.
Safety measures will always be a joke. Open chat/voice chat, "Hi, connect to my discord" -> all safety measures bypassed.
But at the end of the day, this a parenting problem.
Fitting partnership. They should call it Hitler Brotherhood, or something like that.
Maybe even Thiel would join and others.
Last RCE in Airdrop, could be made into worm, it was found by whitehat, luckily for Apple there are still people, which are willing report exploits for little money, so billionaires can enjoy their life on yachts.
Morally it's ok to steal crypto from these types of markets, everybody is crooked there, client and market makers.
Cops and agencies trying to change this, (buuhuuu someone bought anonymous SIMs in bulk and sold them on darknet)
Surprisingly, there was major public pushback, pretty unlucky for cops.
Not publicly, of course.
Ask yourself, do you really own your device? Can you access kernel? Can you flash your own firmware on your device? No?
Then you DON'T own it.
And all browser devs should be required to actively fight against fingerprinting.
There is no legitimate need for fingerprinting in browsers.
This is much more important, than batteries.
I didn't mean that it was cashgrab for everyone hosting own wow server.
Many was great and great people.
Yes, Blizzard didn't want a hassle with licenses or maybe because they were toxic company from beginning. Remember lawsuits for sexual attacks in their offices, suicide on their meetings etc.
Ridiculous company.
If I can compare it with let's say, Ultima Online.
Dev community is cooperative to highest levels. People are making opensource servers and multiple opensource or free clients. And plugins.
And most played Ultima Online server has some type of licensing agreement with current IP owners.
They're just milking current players and they even let people to bot and RMT. Without banning anybody.
How expensive is this:
Download opensource wow server from github
Rent a server VM.
Come up with very cool name, like MurlocWOW
Create Discord for it.
Post AD to reddit/wowservers
Run server
Day 1, several thousands of players will join by themselves. Because everyone looks for something "new" for free.
Profit?
Turtle WOW owners have long history of scams (gold selling) and DDOSing other servers then buying them or something like that.
Warmane uses unpatched RCE in 335a client for their own Anticheat (yes, rofl) and their custom content changes.
Project Ascension, worst Pay2Win there is. Someone said they have more employees than there is Blizzard employees working on Wow Classic.
------
Wow private servers run for decades now and nobody ever did something to "fix" copyright infringement. Every private server linked or hosted Wow clients directly on their websites.
Servers emulators (which are not emulators, wow community just call them like that) are ok, since they're re-implemented only from packet communication between clients and official servers.
Problem is copying dungeons (raids, scripting) behavior and other things.
There wasn't any motivation to fund development of opensource wow client, this way only players would broke copyright, if they would be required to provide client copyrighted data by themselves. And over time, it could be also redone more even now, with LLM.
Hosting private WOW servers always was about making huge money and very quickly, I know people with multiple houses and cars only from hosting one server and they never ever did something custom like Turtle Wow. You could just download opensource wow server implementation, rent a server, setup payment gateway and the hardest thing was to come up with the cool name for your server :D
It's easy, because players have no problem to start on new server several times per year, since that's all they do on their main private server. There is reset each year and they're usually waiting when some raid will open etc.
------
Nobody sane would player on official Wow servers, Blizzard is openly supporting botting and real money trading.
There is even opensource bot coded by Microsoft employee :D
So your idea, they copied their recent work is just ...
Other than that, I'm fan of Blizzard, mainly because of their relation to botting :) :) :)
Now Blizzard only milks current players(cows) and also let others to freely bot and sell gold for real money to people.
They're not sending emails directly from their gmail address.
But they are adding victim emails to other Google services and then Google themselves send them invitations emails.
And if you name your service like "Google helpdesk - password reset" or something like that.
Invitation email from Google will look very official, but URL in the email will be controlled by the attacker.
It's pretty old working technique used for phishing for years now.
Spam report does nothing, since you're reporting official Google email.
There are tons of signed drivers to explore ;-)
Easy, just add bloat code so it will use 5GB of RAM by default, that's instant adoption by MS.
You don't need any of those.
Naomi has huge youtube and she is very public figure in Shenzhen.
She has very weird opinion on Chinese government, she acts to like it but on the other hand with her sexual orientation (which was public knowledge, plastered all over reddit, twitter etc. way before any articles) and her admitting to bypass Chinese firewall etc. which is illegal.
Kinda weird, to do this, when you're public person.
And weirdest of all, she has/had Uyghur girlfriend and she basically said, that because of us (US/EU people) boycotting China for Xinjiang concentration camps for Uyghurs, nobody in Shenzen wants to hire Uyghur people, so WE are to blame.
I don't know if she really meant it, or she'd post it to twitter to suck Chinese government, you know what.
Imho, with grain of salt too, I think she was partially managed by Chinese agency way before any articles, and they got angry because she was unable to steer the article to "China great, West is bad".
Because I have experience what Chinese agencies are willing to pay for mediocre influencers in my small EU country (10mil. people) just to visit China and make videos how they're "great". And they have 1/10 following of what Naomi has.
If you have multiple machines (/must have), just apply your user config to current machine?
My guess, Linkedin is used for years as source of valuable information for phishing/spear-phishing.
Maybe their motive is really spying. But more important for them is to fight against people botting Linkedin.
Imho, browser fingerprinting should be banned and EU should require browser companies to actively fight against it, not to help them (Fu Google)
They can be bypassed on Windows, but with too much work (custom hypervisor etc.)
To bypass them on Linux, a lot more easier.
