Interesting "red shell" spyware in games

[*| Lion Heart |*]

Just stumbled upon this article...its a bit old, but I bet that its still valid:

good to know....and not to support the associated dev teams...

What make me curious is why people always want to go "either you are with us or oppose us". The world isn't black & white, it's lots of shades of grey with various stances and positions.

The other thing that makes me curious is how people worry about spying and tracking, yet use Steam and other programs that work primarily based on tracking. Or the internet at all even.

Yeah. At the end of the day, Mouse is extremely hypocritical and I hate Hypocrites.

In fact, this quote sums it up nicely. How much I hate Hypocrites.
“HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.”
From "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream."

IDK that seems unfair and rather not nice.

If the argument against this is that others do it worse, isn't that being a hypocrite?

Really people need to start someplace to gain back privacy.

Just accept people have different opinions and let it go.

Or people pick their fights. Else you end up fighting against the whole world and windmills.

That's it at the end of the day. You have to fight battles, not wars.

You are acting paranoid by calling everything Spyware.

Which real spyware makers LOVE it. Just like cheat makers love when they get people to parrot 'This Anticheat is a ROOTKIT!!'

Internet facilitating confirmation bias to extremextents ends up doing that. When your internet experience is surrounding yourself of 'yes men' and self confirming information tends to make people less and less receptive of differing viewpoints.

You end up like the guy in the kamikaze driver joke ('One guy driving wrong way? EVERYONE is driving the wrong way!)

It's like how people have forgoten than explaining something isn't the same as condoning it.
