I for one dislike your comment because you used non-ASCII characters (emoji) in your reply. I am viewing this conversation chain via mutt on a tty, as is my preference and hobby, and would appreciate if you avoid using characters that cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII. If you're going to the effort of having a discussion in a public place, you have an obligation to keep those of us on mutt in mind.

to fly under the radar
it's more "flying under the sonar" underwater though, yeah?
This is great. This is how it always should have been.
Organization of any kind needs a Twitter page or subreddit? No, they need their own official, self-controlled Mastodon instance anyone can see and listen to and interact with, even without accounts on that specific instance. They need their own kbin or Lemmy instance to make and administer their community on and have control over, everyone can still participate even without signing up for accounts on that specific instance.
Same with Majora's Mask for me, honestly. Something has always just dragged me away from it at the wrong time... life stuff, emulator problems, whatever. It hurts. I've only heard about the ending details but I haven't seen it myself yet, but I will. It feels wrong to go look it up on YouTube.
ZTP is also my favorite Zelda tho, btw. Excellent taste.
Irdeto is working on a program that would provide two nearly identical versions of a game to trusted media outlets: one with Denuvo protection and one without. After that program rolls out, hopefully sometime in the next few months, Huin hopes independent benchmarks will allow the tech press to "see for yourself that the performance is comparable, identical... and that would provide something that would hopefully be trusted by the community."
Doubt. I don't expect they're going to release two copies that differ only in Denuvo presence: they're going to release one copy that has Denuvo, and another with intentional performance degradation that matches Denuvo's raping of your computer. Then they'll claim, "see? no difference! we're fine!" Meanwhile, the Denuvoless crack copy will perform 200% better, "somehow."
Facts don't matter - just get those people to click the link and load those ads!
Good luck with that, assholes. Denuvo can fuck off. They're sure right that they have an image problem: I don't buy Denuvo protected games anymore, period. Their claims that it doesn't affect performance is laughable. Every Denuvo title I've had the displeasure of owning has seen massive performance and stability boosts after I just get fed up with my legit copy and go get a pirated Denuvo-removed version of the damn thing. Without fail.

Imagine if the straw started life as a solid cylinder and you had to bore out the inside to turn it into a straw
This would mean a straw has a hole, yes. It would be like a donut indeed - donuts are first whole, then have the hole punched out of them. This meets a dictionary definition of a hole (a perforation). A subtractive process has removed an area, leaving a hole.
But straws aren't manufactured this way, their solid bits are additively formed around the empty area. I personally don't think this meets the definition.
Your topological argument is strong though - both a donut and straw share the same topological feature, but when we use these math abstractions, things can be a bit weird. For instance, a hollow torus (imagine a creme-filled donut that has not yet had its shell penetrated to fill it) has two holes. One might not expect this since it looks like it still only obviously has one, but the "inner torus" consisting of negative space (that represents the hollow) is itself a valid topological hole as well.
Holy shit.

These are all immediately going into my browser. Rad.
Side note, I did not know about CyberChef, but it is now also on my radar. Very rad.
I love this guy, one of my few favorite YouTube channels and subscriptions. Anything he fixates on is suddenly interesting.
Wow, I should think it should be some kind of regulatory concern that Reddit is artifically inflating traffic counts as they're approaching an IPO, no? For a company whose revenue comes from advertising and user impressions, lying about user traffic is lying about profitability.
This is all just media theatrics to amp up the perceived "economic damages" of a strike that the "country" will "suffer", because they're hoping to get the railroad treatment. They're posing striking workers as some kind of economic terrorists. They probably have a multi-million dollar fruit basket on the way to the white house right now with a saccharine note pleading for a finely polished boot to descend upon their workers' throats.
