    They have a proprietary algorithm that generates keys and shoves them into a DB, in many cases they have a form of checksum to quickly check the validity of keys in-form to reduce DB lookups. Credit/Debit card numbers also have a checksum built in

    If you had enough keys, it might be possible to train a NN to generate new ones, they are after all fantastic at pattern recognition it’s their whole schtick

    Hm sounds like the bug is in the code that handles the “one session only” rule

    Per Microshits T&Cs you can only have 1 session of any kind at a time unless you get the super special business multi seat RDP license (because ofc)

    I actually have a Powershell script I found awhile back that patches the RDP DLL so it stops caring about multiple sessions

    I spent entirely too much time trying to track down

    Been there, if you have the audacity to force your way into the WindowsApps folder you’ll bork the permissions systems so bad that every single post about how to fix it ends in “just reinstall” me being me that was an unacceptable answer.

    Took me a week to fix it so the MS store would launch again. On the flip side, I have a whole new understanding of the permissions system on windows. Heh

    Riiight. I have an alt account on .ml (like you would know if you bothered to read linked my comment, instead of replying to only a chunk of my comment) but I am the one who don’t understand that instance…suuure.

    Oh I did, you mostly just regurgitated the same points. Also, I don’t know why you keep going on and on about having a .ml alt. .ml is in fact federated with .world and .ee (unfortunately) so you don’t need an alt to engage with them. If you’re saying that you have a .ml alt so you get “treated better” over there then that’s a whole problem on its own.

    All of this is false. Just because there are SOME extreme users, it doesn’t mean the whole instance is like that. By the same standard, when I see a Trump meme or with Confederate flags or with transphobic content, I should generalize for the whole instance too, yes?

    The examples you provided further show that you didn’t really went to .ml with an open mind. I am not denying those facts, but the way you described them indicate you learned nothing. There are SO many posts already there that address all those examples and how historical revisionism and propaganda helped to muddy the waters. A lot of the things we know about those historical facts (and let’s be honest - we’re not historians. The things we know about those events, are mostly what was told to us and what we quickly scanned on a summary) are somewhat painted in a light that makes them appear more favorable to whoever has interests in the race.

    “Some” like the fact that the admins and mods are the ones who are on the more extreme end? I don’t deny that .ml has “normal” users, however, it’s quite clear what kind of culture the admins and mods are trying to cultivate.

    Nutomic btw is the head dev and main admin of .ml. but there’s no transphobia over there huh?

    I’ve never had any issues with the mods over there. Whenever I asked questions about ANY of those facts, I’ve always received very calm and detailed answers to those questions. Sometimes I was happy with their replies, sometimes I was not and my mind wasn’t changed.

    But certainly I didn’t go in calling everyone a tankie and telling them they’re all just a bunch of insane users who don’t understand as much as you do.

    Ofc not, you’re fitting in quite nicely with the “culture”

    Sorry, but I did have an open mind with them. You’re the one that has a fundamental misunderstanding on the tankies of .ml

    Most of their positions isn’t “The ideals of communism is good and should be pursued” which is something I have no issues with

    Their positions deny basic facts in support of their beliefs, like China being an authoritarian dictatorship masquerading as a communist country. Or China has in fact led its own genocides or that Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked. Hell they’ve even been known to be on favor of NK.

    And when you bring up these basic facts, your comment is removed and you’re probably going to be at minimum banned from the community. They do not engage in good faith. Period.

    That is why they are so hated

    Edit:

    Look at this, not even 20 minutes ago, “JiveTurkey” banned for “bigotry”
