Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
I'm fuckin tired of all this doomerism. SKG isn't dead, people are more aware than ever of how scummy companies are, and if this movement didn't start then people wouldn't probably care about PlayStations physical media debacle.
Me happy the world is a slightly better, more aware place now. The violent revolution won't magically solve all of your problems
I think you misread the meme if think this is dooming your campaign. But thank goodness you're are now aware capitalists want to violently kill you. It’ll definitively solve their problem of you not paying rents to them.
Awarenesses is indeed the first step!
How is that self-defense coming?

(btw this is not an issue lol. i just find it funny)
My wife has been laughing at this campaign for a whole year. Never ask authoritarians for consent. Mirror your games, kill your oppressors.
I mean, it was worth a try 🤷
But will it lead to the gaming revolution🤔?
idk, probably not
We can say in the future that we wanted to solve the matter by coming to an mutual agreement. Now just wait.
Reverse engineers just got fantastic tool in the form of LLM models. They do exactly what they are the best at - translation from one token space to another, assembler to code :)
Just don't buy killable games. I learnt that one the hard way. Never again.
Mirroring doesn't work when you aren't given the data. This isn't something piracy alone can fix. It's not a matter of what you aren't allowed to do - it's a problem of what publishers shouldn't be allowed to do.
Well what else should we do?
Raid the company headquarters that have the server code?
Mirror your games, kill your oppressors .
Are the company oppressing you? If so, you know what else to do. Otherwise, they are neutral capitalists.
Fuck them, decompile the game, write your own server. Use their AI to do it for free. Hoist the colors high.
Better would be to use our AI, but last time I mucked around with local LLMs (about three months ago), my hardware wasn't good enough to run a powerful enough model for reasoning 😕. I truly hope that we can get some serious advances in vector quantization so we don't have to store as many bytes for useful systems.
It was mostly a joke about using their own tools to fuck them. ChipotlAI obviously isnt cut for this job. But its funny imagining someone hunkered down at star bucks with a phone signed into an online help desk thats been subsumed by ChatGPT trying to get it to program a game server for them. New Hackerman.
write your own server
I'm not sure you understand what this can mean.
use their ai to
Is this a joke, or are you?
As long as the capitalists rule if you aren't gaming the system you're a slave to it. Yes, writing your own server for a game wasn't meant as a joke. But thats literally never stopped anyone before. Not all private servers have been given or leaked by the devs. Some, like Team Clementine, reverse engineer it by decompiling the game and literally fucken rebuilding the server. There is no lack of way nowadays, only wills.
But to the second question...
They are a joke, yes. I worked on some server side code back in the day when a game server could be a nice self-contained executable on an EC2 instance. Even back then, I think it would’ve been a formidable task.
Now that game mechanics often necessitate more complex cloud infra, there’s a lot more going on that you can’t just Charles/mitmproxy your way through because it’s invisible to the client.
At the very least, you’ll need more than one dev, and that means coordination. For a ragtag group of hobbyists, AI is more likely to be a poison pill that kills the project before MVP.
Nobody ever makes jokes anymore, they alwa6s become them. And never good ones. Its very lonely.
Like the other person who replied exemplified, lack of wills. You could do it. Destiny recently ending development is a great example. It would be hard but its not impossible. One person probably couldn't finish it, but they could start it.
By stealing a copy of the back end code base then getting a team to figure it out and get the different client and server software versions to talk. Yes.
You're a joke, and one that disrespects everyone who's ever made anything.
TIL db0 still believes mathematics can be stolen.
Next you're going to say that numbers can be illegal.
Nooo what part of illegul do you not understand???!!!??
TIL db0 still believes mathematics can be stolen.
Stealing from the powerful is always at least a cool element.
Please leave your toxicity at the door. If you dont want to believe its possible to reverse engineer "modern cloud based game servers" then step aside for the people who do instead of calling people a disgrace.
Interesting! And how do you feel about this 'leaving your toxicity by the door'?
The capitalists have joined the thread😔
