I like your world where Aliens exist, but our only interaction with them is children controlling the turrets on a toy car.

username checks out

places hands over ears screams “LALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU EVERYTHING IS FINE”

They overwhelm everyone knowing that 80% of this shit is gonna get outlawed or overturned, but that 20% that gets through is gonna be huge for them.

So is their position that deception via impersonation is free speech?

It’s not a request, it’s a challenge.

As someone who usually loves the Battlefield games, I get where you’re coming from. But for us, it’s disappointing that the current version of a game we enjoy is so disappointing. Tragic perhaps in terms of the game itself and its fans. The greedy suits at the top can f right off though.

Should have deposed Vlad when he had the chance.

Edit: not sure if politicus is supposed to be limited to US politics. Let me know if so and I will remove this if the group wants.

It’ll take 20 hours. Unless it’s harder than I thought. Or it’s easier than I thought. Or it’s exactly as hard as I thought except there’s one little thing that I get stuck on for 5 hours.

Am I doing it right?

I’ve tried emulating a couple switch games, the experience hasn’t been great. Perhaps playable, but I’d rather use the first party hardware.

We’re all NPC’s in some grand simulation running on a server in a warehouse long forgotten about and abandoned by the gods.

Comments can also be useful for explaining what the code is intended to do when debugging.

“Hey this function says it should return the number of apples, but looks like someone, not saying who, but someone had a brain fart and typed oranges in one variable. Who wrote this code anyway?”

Past me sucks.

Know your school handbook and acceptable use policy inside and out. Same with any other published guidelines they provide. My bet is that their AUP says something about not circumventing their security and monitoring tools. Booting into a live OS would certainly fall into that category. But knowing what the rules actually say is probably the first thing you should do since you don’t own the hardware or network. From there, you can decide how far you really want to go and if there are any defenses or loopholes in the rules.

Getting your own hardware is probably your best option in this case if you can do so.

Keep in mind that basic bots don’t render or process certain page elements - like javascript. So VPN plus noScript/uBlock plus obscured data plus no preexisting cookies and possibly unique fingerprint from all your previous interactions (depending on your privacy settings)… It all adds to possible bot behavior. In my mind, getting caprcha’d is a good thing. It may mean google has low confidence that it knows who I am.

Tell that to anyone running a website with a pubic facing form - including register and login forms.

Let’s not deny their right to a speedy trial

That’s what we thought in 2016. Do not underestimate these people

Ahh yes, a government official not liking the first amendment when it is used against them. How novel.

use Ublock Origin,

Yep. I have a blanket “block all Facebook” rule. A lot harder to gather info if your browser refuses to load data and scripts coming from their domains.
