  • I don’t believe there is any particular advantage of linux insisting on password input for privilege escalation. Obviously there is no proof of this, but I suspect that the design of this privilege escalation flow in linux is at least partly caused by its popularity as a server OS, for example the UI flow for Windows UAC wouldn’t work if you’re trying to remotely administrate a server through the terminal.

    Is Windows + UAC + no password secure?

    It should be, in fact I believe that by default if your local admin account doesn’t have a password set, remote logins and run-as is disabled for that account so you might even be able to argue that it is more secure. It’s probably one of the reasons why Windows 11 comes with a recommended option to disable passwords and only authenticate through Windows Hello.

    I’ll try to exercise my “assume good faith” muscle here because I think the above poster is at least genuine about what they are posting: I believe this poster wishes that the people who oppose the proliferation of AI at the cost of human connection would “put their money where their mouth is” by reaching out to the people that this poster feels are unfairly ignored.







  • I’m trying to understand, since it’s DRM-free, can I buy it and share with many people so they can play it on their PC?

    You are not supposed to

    Or there’s something that prevent me to do that?

    Nothing technically

    Does it mean that pirating GOG games is easy as transferring to other machine?

    Yes

    If so, I wonder why pirate sites like FitGirl still use cracked Steam version of games, why don’t just share GOG version?

    Repacks are sourced from the scene, and the scene cracks video games. The fact that you get free video games out of it is a side effect.
