Friendly reminder that Microsoft is tracking and storing all your activity into a database. Windows users are fuck'd, it's already too late for them.https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/console-gaming/take-two-subpoenas-microsoft-for-windows-device-ids-of-everyone-in-three-discord-servers-in-gta-6-leak-hunt"""MachineGuid is a Windows value generated during installation and, according to Microsoft's own support documentation, stable across hardware changes unless the OS drive is replaced. Attachment A asks Microsoft to return that identifier for every account that was a member of, or communicated with any of the three listed Discord servers between June 1, 2026 and the present, in addition to the three handles named in the filings."""https://github.com/xmi1an/UpdateMachineGuid
Good. Windows users should all be ID'd and imprisoned for using Microsoft products.In fact, this gave me an idea... I'm gonna build a botnet and leak every piece of personal identifying data of the retards whose machines are compromised alongside their machine ID.
>The publisher wants MachineGuid identifiers, login IPs, and OneDrive contents by September 4.>OneDrive contentsThat judge gave take-two access to the personal files of +100 000 peoples because they accepted an invite to a random discord server.
>>109633936it's pointless to reset your machine guid because your new one will get associated with your account either way
>>109634103what if you put a dubious one like all zeros?
>>109634082That's what they get for using onedrive in the first place. Imagine being retarded enough to store your important personal files on someone else's computer.
>>109633936>Windows users are fuck'd, it's already too late for them.Sometimes I'm having nostalgic thought about windows, but then I remember all the bullshit on modern windows. This is insane, especially if your real name is tied to your MS email, your Windows key, your global ID, your AD ID and they even enabled auto cloud uploads now... and it doesn't take much to upload your every fucking keystroke as a .txt, those are just a couple KB.I hate this world so fucking much. Also, kinda crazy that Take Two has the power to let Discord and Windows work for them.
I hope normiefags get fully assraped for using microsoft products and not carrying about open source and privacy.
>>109634103do windows track login bypass using account?
Still nobody has proved the tracking works without the optional user experience improvement features turned on, scatteredspider dude probably had the activity feed feature enabled uploading all his web browsing activity to Microsoft online services obviously they have a global id for every Windows installl for analytics purposes. Literally just turn off all the optional diagnostics and you won’t need to care
>>109634082not my problem. imagine using the (((cloud)))
>>109634730nigga they can intercept any query to any microsoft domain they have special root certs there is no encryption on windows. even without this, apps like minecraft just log u in automatically to the full os. you only need to do this once for the db to of ur acc to be in there forever. u dont even need an account, they know the hardware, ip, ids. they can just make a shadow profile and search for hashes using their built in ai/antivirus for the leaked files. its literally goycattle farm for data.

>>109634103Lol homoshlomo really wants people on loonix
>>109634730>do windows track login bypass using account?Yes, let's assume you used a regular windows version with a microsoft account and activated windows key. Now you want to do a fresh install, no login etc. Your old key is still registered and tied to your Microsoft account and IP address and geo location. They basically know, it's you. And those are just the obvious identifiers, there is much more to it.The next time you reinstall, hook your router up to a VPN, clean wipe your motherboard (delete all keys) and install LTSC, or grow up and install Gnu/Linux.
Reminder that as soon as you install dbus or systemd you have an /etc/machine-id file on Linux and you're also fucked in the same way unless you pull some hack that Poettering will likely break deliberately in a month because he's employed by microshit.So do remember to randomize that file on boot. Or hourly on a cron job. Or just say no to shitware.
>>109634885It's too bad dbus is needed almost everywhere if you want something semi functional
>>109634924You have no idea how many hacks I have in /etc/portage/patches just to keep that shit away.
>>109634768You didn’t read the articles retard nowhere does it say gdid logs your activity it’s been known Windows logs everything u do by default and obviously ur install has to have some unique id so there’s nothing new about this. It’s on you if ur too dumb to turn off some settings
>>109634976>Just turn off the spy-on-me setting in windows, the UI says "Trust.me bro"Fucking morons these Microsoft users
>>109634976you are so naive, it's crazy. microsoft is able to know so much of you with this thing.1. specific ip associated with specific guid 2. the same specific ip connected to our ads/api/anything while visiting that facebook pagenow microsoft knows you visited that specific page on facebook. that's how they do it, they have tons and tons of referral points like that across internet to profile everyone. that's how the fbi was able to track that guy through seven vpns and proxies.
>>109634956Good job maybe share a guide on how to remain dbus and d free I'd like to try it
>>109633936So basically if you use Discord and Microsoft you are inside their range.
Your phone is spying everything about you.The phones of the people around you is spying everything about you.Your desktop computer is spying everything about you.Your payment system is spying everything about you.When you go outside, flock and door cameras are spying everything about you.
>>109635050You mask it and then install shit. Preferably from a fresh openrc stage3 that doesn't already have dbus.When dependency calculation fails due to it being dragged in, you check why, copy the relevant ebuild to your local tree, remove the dbus in DEPENDS and then try to compile it and see why it fails.Usually that first pass is a build system error, so you patch it out of meson or cmake or whatever and try emerging again.Then it will probably spit out actual compilation errors and you have to figure out why DBus is being dragged in and patch it out. There's like four possible possibilities here:- it doesn't actually need DBus (more common than you would think, especially with things using Qt)- it's doing something like suppressing screen lock in which case #if 0'ing out the block usually does it- it's doing actual logic in which case you need to actually figure out how to work around the dependency and write a shim or something- it's completely entwined in the code and not worth dealing with (read: chromium)I really can't give any recommendations beyond that. It's mostly mechanical labor. I will say that the without-systemd and nymphos overlays are helpful because those guys have already done some of the work.
>>109635207>- it's completely entwined in the code and not worth dealing with (read: chromium)What the fuck, why does chromium depend on systemd and dbus so much?
>>109635296>why does the glowing software depends on another glowing softwarea mystery
>>109635296Chromium has a build flag to disable dbus (use_dbus=false) but it doesn't work unless you're building it against a non-unix toolkit (as in, Windows or macOS)You can at least disable atk (use_atk=false) and that works fine.If you really need chromium, there's no real way around it and you need at minimum libdbus.so and the headers.Chromium however is perfectly fine with running on a system without any system or session dbus daemon running. It'll spit "errors" to stderr, but that's about it.
>>109633936Its a fucking bideo gayme, holy shit this is ridiculous. Dude needs to stop being a pussy and leak the game whole already, or at least leak the story endings.
>>109635783rockjeet games shouldn't have hired jeets to cut costs, now it's bitting them in the ass and they're scrambling to fight anyone who hosts it lol. Should have been put on piratebay or something.
>>109634082good thing you have to show your ID for Discord. saves the zogs a shit zon of time
>>109635926only in europe. maybe also in the usa but here (india) discord never asked anything.
>>109633936This is truly the year of the windows personal computing device
>>109633936I am rooting for T2 on this one actually just because I dont want to see GTA 6 spoiler vids online
>>109636109Nah you're just a little bitch siding with whatever power is at work
Reminder that installation ID's existed since WinXP and it's activation system, the only reason GDID can be used like this is if you use an MS Account which is mandatory *only* on Win11 Home, and every "privacy conscious" person spreading privacy FUD about Windows cannot show you how much telemetry data is collected and sent, and how much Windows' settings actually reduce the amount of data collected, and all of it can and was verified.If anyone was trying to do the same type of sensationalism towards Linux everyone here would piss their pants and demand technical proofs, but if it's Windows you can straight up lie and everyone'll gurgle it juat because it's Microsoft."The most intelligent/tech literate board" my ass. YouTube Clippy commenter tier cattle is what you are.
>>109636109>I am rooting for T2cattle behavior.
Oh yeah, the GDID was only useful in the case of that cybercriminal that kickstarted the whole GDID FUD was because they already had physical access to his laptop from which they could've pulled it to deanonymize the shit MS gathered on him. So it'd be useless to T2 really.
God GTA is such a shit fucking series and Rockstar needs to get mauled, GTA fans feel like the followers of the antichrist, treating this shitty fucking game like the second coming of sliced bread
>>109634103>Using a online windows account
>>109636935yeah, I find it unbelievable how many normalfags are talking about it, literally even a woman on Russian state radio the other day was saying she's thinking about booking time off work for when the thing comes out. i never understood this "new thing must get on day 1" mentality, yet it's fucking everywhere.
>>109636935The only way it can redeem itself is if it will let you talk to NPCs using AI. No point in even making the game if they can't do that.
>>109633936Who the hell goes to discord for piracy? Literally asking to get fucked in the ass man people are retards.
>>109637476take two is retarded. same for the boomer judge who gave them the subpoenas.
>>109636327Opossums are sweet gentle creatures.
