This seems to be targeting "watch these ads to get credits" model, which is pretty common in free-to-play games.

One of the funnier/less annoying ads-in-game I've seen would be where they fill the spaces where ads normally are, though. Like, if a game had an IRL stadium or street, they would replace the billboard contents with their own ad content instead of putting in ersatz advertising.

Yeah, the attack surface of a locked-up bike is much larger than that of a bike being ridden?

If you don't want your phone stolen off the bike, a removable bike computer still makes more sense, I think.

It's not really that important to the joke, since I'm pretty sure you can also replace keywords like 'if' with the preprocessor. It's just that preprocessor macros are typically (style, not syntax) ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES.

It's just another clue that that block isn't actually an if-block, since C is case sensitive and 'IF' wouldn't actually work.

They used a macro to make 'IF' (which is distinctly not 'if') map to 'while'. So it's really a while(1) loop, which will repeat forever, or until the program is terminated, whichever comes first.

Someone's just being silly.

Have their usage rates reflected their lack of trust? Unless it has, I doubt companies care.

Says you. Maybe I've got a cleanroom and a photolithography machine in my basement!

No; jealousy paints a target on your back. I'd rather people wish well for me and feel that my victories are at least indirectly theirs.

Failing that, I'd want others to be unaware of my existence.

Link Alligator would actually be a fun name

Then you don't have any evidence that is relevant to the discussion.

Involuntary institutionalization happens, and can and has been wielded maliciously to political ends in the west, of course. However, the whataboutism here is odd and, at best, tangentially related and unsupported.

Your posts have been almost entirely nonsequitors. "I don't trust you with the fraud for illegal incarceration" doesn't even parse as a sentence.

You say you have evidence of... whatever it is, post it.

One site forbidding you from directing traffic to another isn't disrespecting you. If it's something so groundbreaking that others need to see it, screenshot it and post it. You don't need to directly link it.

The ability to shapeshift doesn't really get affected by this caveat, so that remains about as appealing as it was before.

Taken to an extreme, one can get a controllable/turn-off-able biological immortality and at-will violation of conservation of matter/energy.
