encryption/decryption is different from hashing.

Yes. I'm aware.

Hav posted:

Even better, two way symmetric encryption/decryption works _really well_ with hash salts.

The base problem is that this doesn't solve any of the conceivable issues that CIG is trying to deal with because we are talking about a 1 time payload (data files in the game) which the client must decrypt into usable form. No amount of fancy encryption solves the fact that you much tell the client how to get the base files in order to use them in game.

Which is weird and funny cause Chris Roberts' 8 hour letter to The Escapist claimed that the writer of the article was a Gamer Gate hack out to destroy him. It's like hey dude check your wingmen you're in the wrong formation here.

She is, though. Big gamergater, wrote articles for A Voice For Men and Breitbart Tech. The Escapist management jumped on the gamergate bandwagon early, she was picked up as part of the new direction. I don't find it unlikely the article was written as a result of the author or the website being exposed to Derek Smart's twitter via gamergate. I believe it's probable the reasons for doing the article included the need to maintain a thin facade of legitimacy regarding "ethics in games" combined with gamergate's habit of signal boosting each other

Yes. Yes. Feel the stupid flow over you, and around you. Let it consume everything you know, and as it passes, turn and face it's receding form and understand that everything, literally everything, is wrong with their stated aim of providing a fidelitous simulation of spaceships.

I like the majority of the posts to be either entertaining, funny, cat pictures or respect tolls to effort posts.

Or well... At least hit that stack once in a while like you do my froggy friend.

Ol' SD manages to to serpentine around any kind of entertainment value in his posts consecutively which is why I take my entertainment from his ownage attempts being up owned by SA itself.

Reddit Admin are very anti-censorship and ignore most DMCA-takedown requests. Now that Reddit can self-host images and videos, rip the Sunk Cost Fallacy vids from YT and re-upload them as posts to /r/StarCitizen_Refunds.

Good luck with that, gimmick account :smuggo:
