The idea is you use the sysinternals to scrape the file handles as the app opens. It’ll log it and you can go back to the log and look. You just have to add the application as a filtered application.

If it’s opening them from anywhere in the disk, that’ll show up.

Tailscale super easy and a self-solving problem.

Searxng is rock solid.

Start process explorer, start the app, look and see what files it has open.

You can also try opening the EXE as a zip file.

If the assets are compiled into the EXE, there’s a chance that if you put assets in an identical structure outside of the EXE, it’ll let you override them.

This is about instagram/facebook/ticktok demonitizing for sex/drugs/violence/harm because advertisers won’t put their money behind that for fear of a religious call to cancel.

Sadly, we’re just getting thriftstore memes.

I mean, he just turned his Ram logo upside down…

That’s actually the key, this was posted in a NJ hotel. (it’s old Reddit but i was there when the bombs dropped)

They’re worried about locals renting a room to defile trying to keep stuff out of their house.

The best part, is it was a New Jerseyan that made it.

Trying to keep people from renting local hotel rooms for nefarious or dirty things.

The true strange part is why this was in Kentucky

Professional (Successful) Idea guys are worth their weight in platinum. I’ve only ever worked with a couple of those. It’s the armchair ones that hurt so damn much.

I’ve seen a guy take a bland game/engine, a few devs/artists, a whiteboard and make a really successful AA game in about 6 months.

Eh, I’ll make the mill please…

It’s all fun and games until some asshole slips something into your trusted package manager.

Exploits are the deal pain

Gamers are easy to market to.

It would be Darwinism at work if not for contagion

Torvolds doesn’t make distros. The work that he’s doing isn’t highly creative. It’s boring pain and no one else really wants to take on. He doesn’t have a lot of competition, and hopefully, when he moves on, that vacuum gets another dedicated masochist and doesn’t just usher in a bunch of people bickering and at each other’s throats.

There’s still danger here. While anyone can fork, it’s painful and work-intensive. A well-funded actor could fork something useful, add a bunch of features the community wants, and do a shitty job of committing back. Once most of the community stops using the old stuff and the devs go back to their lives, we can lose control of useful stuff.

Stuff like when Signal enshittifies. It has enough inertia and spin up cost that the forks barely see any traffic.

They toyed around with moving things in and out of public. I’m not sure i’ve seen the what else get chained off, but for a while you coudn’t get much information about anyone. That’s when I started using Wiki

There’s a project for this!

I don’t mean to sound full of myself,

Nah, you’re good. We coast on your charisma about 1/3 of the time here… :)
