>>109613611the best part is they let even windows cracks on their own website, github, and don't care.
>>109613628They do remove piracy stuff, just at a very slow pace. They probably ignore Windows activators on purpose, Bill Gates famously said that they want people to pirate from them rather than use something else.
>>109613628mas devs opsec level demon
>>109613652>they want people to pirate from them rather than use something elseWhy don't they open source Windows and let non-retarded real devs fix it for free?
>>109614700Because then the open source would out-compete the one that costs $$$$$
I'm not a minority, so I've had no interest in GTA 6 up to this point, but I was under the impression that the leak was an intentional marketing stunt. That will remain my stance unless the SEA monkey behind the leak releases the source code in its entirety. That would be zased.
>>109614700Windows makes money from mass OEM installs
>>109613611>Make Microsoft so it can track any oneGood morning.
>>109614700Because they wouldn't get businesses paying for licenses if they could just use a fork for free dipshit.
>>109614700They still get telemetry from pirated installs and if they see a lot of them coming from the same IP they will send their goons to do an inspection, it is pretty surreal but they somehow got the legal muscle to barge into any company and start nosing around like if they had a warrant or something.
>>109613611Indian incompetence was involved somehow.
>>109613611>Can track those who are anti-israel very effectivelyThese people tend not to be the sharpest tools.
not really. I find it funny how actual political dissidents like Joel Davis or Eric Striker just use plain Windows and iPhone and don't give two shits about this gay retarded privacy autism.the only people who are autistic about privacy are techies who have nothing to hide anyway. the privacy stuff is mostly just goofing around and doing things for fun
>>109614700It would stop being controlled by Microsoft, do you even think before you post
>>109616119Always infinitely smarter than an oblivious kikeslave.
lol
>>109613611He will be found because he used ChatGPT to generate this mascot
>>109613611i feel like cyberleek is just rockstar doing viral marketing
>>109618049i normally wouldn't care to watch a clip of a next gen gta guy beating a civilian to death and then stealing his car, but because omg leek i have actually seen it
>>109618054if the leaks were real, they would show some missions, but they havent shown any. it is a mystery
>>109614814No way Rockstar would add a crypto rugpull to a marketing stunt
>>109613611>Can't track drug dealers, black market sellers or GTA leakersI assume the people doing this stuff use BSD or like raspberry pis from a mcdonalds. not everything or everyone runs Windows.
>>109614700Developers are dirt cheap compared to how much money Microsoft makes from Windows.Why the fuck would they ever relinquish control?
>>109614700you can pay $5 and get the Windows source code bro, mail them a money order for $5 USD requesting Windows 11 source code and they will send you a couple of DVDs in the mail. I think if you pay $20 you get it on a thumb drive or if you pay $5 and send a thumb drive in, 128gb, they will send it back to you with all of the source code. That's it, that's all you gotta do to get the Windows source code. That's how little Windows actually means to Microsoft. Heck you can get office if you like. If you see a problem and want to fix it (for free mind you) you can and post it via their developer portal. Much like how Linus won't automatically take your submission etc is how it would go. There is a massive winget community btw. you are so behind the times it's not even funny. Windows is ((((open source)))). There are distros of Windows out there that are not sanctioned by Microsoft.
>>109614700https://github.com/GreyXor/Windows-11they already released it bro, you're like late to the fucking party. what's it like showing up retarded?
>>109613611The original leaked files were encoded on Linux
>>109618158Lore accurate Win32 API source code.
>>109618159No wonder hes untrackable
>>109618161https://ciprianf.hashnode.dev/series/win32apinone of that is hidden. you act like it's this big mystery. How the fuck you think we got proton?
>>109618159he actually ran BSD
>>109618173Who said it's hidden? What are you smoking?
>>109618161https://github.com/VerySleepy/verysleepy/blob/master/src/utils/WoW64.hoh and before you ask, here is wow64 the translation layer.Windows has been open source for a long time bro. you are just too lazy to compile your own version without gdid and telemetry.
>>109614700they don't want to make windows legally free because they make all their money from business licenses. what they don't care about is if some consumers pirate windows, they absolutely do give a shit if a business does
>>109618184
>>109618182the only tool I would LOVE to get my hands on is Microsoft's executable fixer application, it is an internal tool we used to use at Microsoft where we would load an executable into it, and it would re-arrange the machine assembly code into one that ran the application and windows the fastest. That being said there is very little you need to actually compile to get Windows to a usable stable state without all the spyware, or you could use tiny11 or something if that stuff matters to you where all the work was done for you.
>>109618200>nonsense
>>109618195Windows has been a loss leader for Microsoft for quite some time actually. Microsoft would rather be done with it but they are contracted to it like this ball and chain. After 11, we might see k2 as an update for 11, but Microsoft is hard at work on Aios. Windows is done, they no longer have any interest in Windows.
>>109618204enjoy your continued ignorance I suppose. you could switch to Linux but let's face it, there isn't a single usable desktop on Linux that isnt totally unstable or some autistic's wet dream. You have options.
>>109618208It's pretty clear FBI, CIA and Mossad keep Windows as slave.
>>109618213>ignoranceYou are just delusional.I daily drove Arch Linux for 2 years and had zero usability problems. It's a skill issue on your side
>>109618215oh no doubt, and the devs at Microsoft created avenues for the smart people to get around it. the locks are for businesses. >>109618217>skill issuean os should never require more skill to use than driving a car. it should run your apps, and get the fuck out of my way. removing desktop icons and task bars and forcing me to use multiple desktops in this pseudo windows8/ios demonic twisted shitfest because the core developer can't see past his blue hair, is not what I consider a good time.
>>109618230>an os should never require more skill to use than driving a car.It doesn't. It's easy. You just have to use your brain and read a few paragraphs to setup it. Or watcha jewtube tutorial.>removing desktop icons and task bars and forcing me to use multiple desktops in this pseudo windows8/ios demonic twisted shitfest because the core developer can't see past his blue hair, is not what I consider a good time.What distro did you use lol
>>109618235rhel, fedora, archgnome is shit bruhkde crashed too much for my likingcinnamon is ok but its based on ancient outdated codexfce comes close to what I consider semi-decent but it also has a lot of glitcheseverything else is either too obscure or too simplistic to be usable or even viable. A doctor or a lawyer isn't going to give a shit if their shit blows up. They are trained to use Windows. They use Windows. If suddenly you upset that with something so obscure or glitchy they will refuse to use it. It does more harm to the free software movement to keep things in this state of decay.
>>109618251>gnome is shit bruhAgree>kde crashed too much for my likingNever had problems.>They are trained to use Windows. They use Windows. If suddenly you upset that with something so obscure or glitchy they will refuse to use it.Cannot argue with it.I recommend you stealing someone's dotfiles for hyprland or another tiling window manager. It just works that way.
>>109618235you also have to understand that if things don't get better like yesterday, countries are going to start banning Linux usage as it would be seen as a crime against humanity as it offers NOTHING of significance other than a platform criminals use. I mean thank God for valve, however, they can't do it alone and the way things are going, it might not be enough for only games to hold Linux up because again, useless neet gamers and criminals using Linux is ultimately seen as a drain on society, so it then becomes a target for politics. We are already starting to see the groundwork for it with age verification laws. They will outright ban the usage of Linux through pearl clutching:>think of the children!>no not like that you sick fucks!and they will flex their muscles, ESPECIALLY seeing as proton is ripping off the Windows source code so boldly. All Microsoft needs is a CEO with vision and that's nothing but a lawsuit that I don't think even Valve has the money to escape from.So you better shape Linux the fuck up for the masses or it goes byebye.
>>109618265yeah I am not going to use autistic trash, maybe kde improved, I heard new versions came out. It's been a few months since I installed Linux on anything. my 500gb sata ssd died that I use to test OSes on, so I need another one. spinning rust can slob on my knob.
>>109618280continued thought then I need to leave for work.I say this out of concern ultimately because even though I use Windows, and I am an ex developer, I love Linux. I want to see Linux continue to exist. I want to see open source software exist. If you think that europe, canada, australia, and the united states won't work together to ban Linux if it is seen as a massive net negative, especially as the global mindset moves more to the right of middle, you need to take a step back and rethink some things. They could just as easily say:>if you use Linux, you become a POI at the very least or labeled as a terrorist at the worst>it's a matter of national security>family is important, use of an OS that allows pedos free access to the public internet AND YOUR 7 YEAR OLDS is a massive concern and we need to be able to track these peopleand if you think that governments won't do this because """"reasons"""" you haven't been paying attention.
>>109618307OMG so much this considering that the Puritan movement is starting back up through the United Church of Christ and Unitarianism churches, and they have some deep influences in governments. Puritanical hate is a deep concern.
>>109613611>>Can't track drug dealers, black market sellers or GTA leakersThey actually can.
>>109618335But (((they))) won't.
Beceause anti-semites are idiots who don't know nothing about opsec.
>>109614700They actually can't opensource windows.That would require renegotiating license agreements with hundreds of companies.Sun Microsystems found this out the hard way when they open sources Solaris.I mean.. It's theoretically possible but I can't imagine Microsoft would ever do it.
