That adventure rock? I remember CBBC telling me I should use that.
Also, reddit.com/r/Gaming doesn't believe Dolphin's attitude to piracy, and gets quite pissy when you point it out to someone telling someone it's completely legal to download any game roms.

Who cares what /r/Gaming thinks about our policies. Obviously /r/Emulation is what counts </sarcasm> Reddit's a veritable gathering ground of internet idiots (no offense to the people that actually use it to have meaningful discussions and discover new news, the 1% of you). You can tell them personally I'll ban them on sight if they start talking about downloading games over here. And if they want, I can educate them all about the finer points of the world's (largely broken) copyright systems. 05-29-2014, 03:01 PM
fuck I clicked a link and lost my entire post. Note that I am on my crappy netbook with just about no addons other than adblock.
/r/privacy is actually pretty nice. Excellent news, solid advice, justified paranoia, and the occasional BadBIOS conspiracy theorist. (No solid evidence yet of BadBIOS, but it is a real possibility if we find evidence. Networked hub/device firmware implants absolutely exist, just don't know how widespread they are. Persistent BIOS infections that hook reflash operations to reinfect the BIOS are absolutely known to exist, just developed not from the gov. Also very possible the NSA/etc uses them.) On the other hand, prior to the Snowden revelations, government spying was very much considered a conspiracy theory, despite evidence that they had broken specific crypto systems, tapped cables, etc. I guess the overwhelming, beyond Orwellian scale of the human rights violations (mass surveillance, inserting a backdoor in an encryption standard, inserting backdoors everywhere) , along with (frequently misleading) media attention on Snowden's later actions, really led to the spread of the news. This again proves Richard Stallman right again. This is not the first time he has unfortunately been right about just how screwed we are. Yet the public pays no attention to the hazards of proprietary software and government human rights violations and intellectual monopolies. Yet people treat him like a conspiracy theorist. The only difference is that he has been right time and again. But people refuse to admit that our rights are being trampled by powerful governments and industries. 05-29-2014, 03:26 PM
@jimbo1qaz - Have you seen this? http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/05/...tly-warns/
True or not, it's just weird and untimely. Dunno what to think until more info comes to light (if any more ever does). Never worn a tinfoil hat myself, but some of the things I've heard would be realistically disturbing to say the least.
Richard Stallman is not right. Many of the standards that have been compromised are open source. OpenSSL anyone? While the NSA was not involved, it has been confirmed that they knew about that for a lot longer than anyone else, and they were perfectly fine keeping that bottled up. Furthermore, when the internet was being built with open standards, the NSA was present to help secure it (against evil communist cyber invaders and stuff). Once they became spy happy, they used that trust to insert compromised code into all kinds of things, proprietary or open, it didn't matter. Is open source better at avoiding these abuses? Absolutely. But as long as the government is given free reign from secret courts to do whatever it wants, open source is not enough to stop abuses.

But then it's proprietary software and Richard Stallman hates you.
