This style is peak 2000s era corporate clip art.

It's that 2000s era corporate clip art style. I have too many bad associations with it.

As a programmer, I've learned to cringe at any suggestion from someone that starts with "can't you just". Cause I guarantee you, I can't "just" do that. It's way more complicated than just.

So you agree that saying "they added a data miner with root level access" was a false statement?

The game executables haven't changed. All they did was add a generic TOS. That doesn't magically give the game the capability to get kernel level access.

The TOS doesn't give the game executable magical powers to do things it wasn't written to do.

Are you running it as root for some reason? Cause if you are not running it as root, it doesn't have root access, absent some kind of major security flaw in Linux.

Your work machine is running 18 copies of McAfee or whatever. Of course it's going to be slower.

Trump forgot who wears the pants in this relationship.

I am absolutely shocked it lasted as long as it did.

"Still weird and gross"?

I'm going with that making it extra weird and gross.

If you had actually read the definition of genocide you would see that it isn't limited by ethnicity.
