This is a stupid question, but is this a port of the actual missions from C&C/Red Alert, or just inspired by them?

I don’t think so, it’s clearly an ironically hyperbolic statement

I’ve looked around malware link scrapers (ex. URLhaus) before, and I recall seeing that a large portion of the malware links were hosted on Discord, especially trojans. Although it will break a lot of legitimate shared files, I respect them for fixing this security issue

It's a shame the UK's Competitive Markets Authority let this merger go through after all. I can't wait for the future, when 90% of the most popular games are made by 3 companies

I swear, we need a version of r/savedyouaclick on Lemmy at some point.

Also, I thought this feature was already released? I've been using it for the better half of this year.

I guess, but I don’t see how much they can really influence Telegram without any stake in the app itself. They only seem to have a deal for cloud-hosting with the TON Foundation, a non-critical part of the app, and even that appears to be non-exclusive. So if Tencent tries to force a bad decision onto Telegram, what’s stopping them from severing ties and moving everything over to another provider?

Of course, we don’t know what the situation will be like in the future, but at this present moment, I don’t think Telegram’s security has been breached by this. (Also I think you triple-posted this comment)

This week, TON Foundation announced that it’s forged a partnership with Tencent Cloud, which has “already successfully supported TON validators and plans to expand its services further to help meet TON’s high compute intensity and network bandwidth needs.” Validators, in web3 lingo, are participants that help authenticate transactions in a blockchain network.

It looks like the partnership with Tencent only extends to their Web3 blockchain thing, and there doesn’t seem to be any partnership in the main app so it’s not the end of the world - at least, for now.

Also, what even is this TON blockchain? I never knew Telegram had anything to do with crypto :/

Hasn’t the founder been a vocal critic of Russia for years, including the Ukraine war? I don’t really see why that would be a concern, especially since Telegram is supposedly owned by a US LLC

I know there is Island for Android, but I don’t think it can isolate much without root. Jailbroken iOS users also have Crane

I’m using Delta myself, any reason why you chose Ignited over it? Might consider switching

Isn’t like 90% of the traffic on Usenet from alt.bin.*? In other words, file sharing. I’ve looked around some newsgroups, and most of them are just filled with spam posts

Honestly, they should have settled. I’m not sure how much the publisher’s settlement was, but I bet they’re going to lose this appeal anyway :/

It’s pretty decent if you liked Bethesda’s other AAA games. I was actually surprised that there was even some amount of spaceship piloting at all - I just assumed it would be 100% fast travel.

However, the game runs like dogshit - even on my decently mid-range system, it takes 15-30 seconds of loading between menus, and I swear I spent half the time I played waiting for the game to load. I assume that this is meant to take advantage of the Xbox and PS5’s faster memory and DirectStorage, but on PC it’s borderline unplayable

Don’t see how, this is based on web analytics

Sure, the Steam Deck is cool, but a Series S can actually be bought in most of the world. Last I checked, Valve only sells it in less than 20 countries

There is also Qobuz, which offers 96 kHz/24 bit streaming if you live in a supported country

Yeah, it’s the same for iOS when you sideload any app. You can always get an SMS OTP to login though

And here I thought DBS Digibank’s anti-tamper protection was too strict. To be honest, I don’t know why these banks spend so much effort protecting the app from hacking, when most fraud comes from someone divulging account information to a scammer

This extension works for Google reCAPTCHA

Even if it’s an independent label or unsigned artist?
