As always the most valuable natural resource isn’t gold or diamonds, it’s minds. If you control enough minds you control the world.

I thought that was just everyone now? Like every group doesn’t want to be cancelled and they all want to cancel at least something, maybe besides libertarians, they get pretty wild. Like I’m sure this comment will be down voted because someone thinks they don’t dislike cancel culture but actually they do because they themselves wouldn’t want to be cancelled.

A bit more complex. With ripping DVDs there’s a big prime number that’s used to encrypt. Here is a Good video on the situation. Similarly though it is all modulated voltages at the end of the day. The number or really any number is just some particular pattern of voltages or magnetic poles or really anything you can modulate. The first computers were completely mechanical. Well technically speaking the first computers were people with pencils and paper.

If there is a law that is not enforced is there a law?

Click farms have racks of boards they’re running. I’ve always thought about that approach. I’m sure there’s a more elegant approach. At the end of the day it is just modulated voltages. I’m more of an iot type and I’ve definitely spoofed signals before. It’s a bit like flipping bits or changing hex codes to get some desired outcome. The hardest part is locating where it is and then knowing what to change it to and also avoiding bricking the device which in the case of a VM isn’t too big of a problem.

On waydroid you need to do some hacky stuff. You need to root the VM, use ReZygisk to manage the root modules, flash the Play Integrity Fix Magisk module to spoof device properties, install TrickyStore, a module designed to spoof cryptographic hardware key attestation, Use Play Integrity Fork to force the VM to pass basic integrity checks. There’s gennymotion which allows some apps to work.

Double points if you’re using something like waydroid or otherwise running android in a VM. Then you can screenshot from the host OS.

It seems nearly everyone is second-guessing their dependence on oil. Nuclear and green energy along with EV transportation is a bit more forgiving to immediate shocks to global supply.

Better than five minutes of thoughts over seven years, now that’s arguably far more troubling.
