Rule 34 in action
I can see dead memes!
Interesting… I got the retail version back then and it was bundled with Steam and did check your account on every start (or required a steam client running with the title in the library). It even had a warning label on the box stating that it needed a steam account and that the CD key would be linked to your account. But I do not remember it using Securom. Which checks out, as I vaguely remember buying I after Christmas.
Maybe it got removed later? I can find some discussions in the steam forums arguing about the drm from about 10 years ago, and other more recent discussion where people are wondering why it has no more drm - e.g. this comment describing the same procedure as I did above
Fun fact: My Steam accounts lists that it was created in July 31st 2004, although Steam was released on September 12th 2004. I guess they just added a random date on old accounts that didn’t have a date registered?
Wait… Half Life 2 is the game that forced me to install steam, create an account and wasn’t playable without it is “now” in this list and is DRM free?
Companies need to get comfortable not owning my money!
In the end it’s about money. If one had to pay for environmentally damages (e.g. a new tax on $energyUnit, $resourceUnit,…) and you’d not only pay for the resources + some markup for the producing company and just external externalize the “worth” of the damages (read: the taxpayer,…), then it’s cheaper to use these services instead of humans.
My head canon is, that they’re analyzing posts and comments and used that to weed out bots in the past. “Oh, this looks like 90% of our content - it’s a human” - “Oh, this doesn’t look like 90% of our content, probably a bot”. Now the baseline shifted and everyone who is not a bot triggers it and gets banned.
It’s encrypted anonymous communication capabilities.
Unless you enable it for every single chat (and IIRC only available for chats with only two persons, not group chats) there’s no encryption. Or did they change that? The only encryption that applies to most chats on that platform should be transport encryption via TLS.
The baffled men are meeting now their maker.

Have you heard of buttplug.io?
@aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me Donald Trump standing on the streets of a big American city. A protest is happening around him. People are throwing socks at Trump. Signs reading “sock him up” in the crowd. Style: photography
I did that once with another company. The result was that I got an abuse complaint from them and my domain got on a spam blacklist for a while.
Since then, for such mails it’s only abuse reports and sinkhole their domain if possible.
Are those “real” pistols, or air pistols? Because the latter should make you deaf. So.eone else commented, they’d not use it for protection but to focus and reduce distractions from the audience and other sounds

Even then, the CT roughly indicates the amount of virus that was in the sample - which correlates with how infectious you are. But it also depends on the quality of the sample and how it was taken. If you’re highly infectious but the slab was not correctly inserted, you might have less virus on your sample as one would expect and appear less infectious.
