Richard Stallman website

From Richard Stallman's website, https://stallman.org/, you should be able to see more of what's bad about various technology services we have been using today. This may be due to the fact that the companies may have the guts to somewhat mistreat the users without any knowledge although I don't know if Richard Stallman's concerns may be true or not. Amazon's screwed up like hell that you may want to buy stuffs online from other websites and especially that you SHOULD NOT do cloud computing from there like you can stick on to using Windows Azure for cloud virtualization or something instead. Apple's in that list as well not because of the features in the latest Mac OSX which is Yosemite in which they have disrespected the customers' privacy with those like Spotlight for instance. We don't know if Facebook and Google have learnt the technical lessons or some sort but the betrayal tries to continue from Facebook next year or something. The recent thing to talk about will be Uber which is the Taxi service with online capability.
OK, the technology for Uber is kind of fked up that South Korea is not happy about that that they want the CEO arrested. Another problem we may be interested to look at according to Richard Stallman is regarding the privacy violation again.
And this one Richard Stallman may bring us to is this, https://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary-surveillance.html, which contains the amount of flaws they have discovered in the technology we know and use today. We know that Windows 8 and 8.1 have privacy problem and Windows 10 may be kind of worse in terms of that but I don't know if that problem will be gone in the final version. For Android, certain brands already have the similar backdoors as well in certain devices of theirs. So, if you're using some HTC, Samsung, Coolpad or other China branded devices that contain those backdoors, you're pretty much a cyber-victim as those may allow attackers to infiltrate. There's also Carrier IQ which does the same bullshit as well. You may as well as call that Carrier IQ-less. The only way to remove it in certain HTC and Samsung devices will be to require rooting them and using some bootloader to do so. For spywares on the web, don't even try to use the Japanese and Chinese input apps from Baidu and this is somewhat a past or perhaps a recent technical warning to us on not to use them. You want to input stuffs in those languages, try the alternatives instead.
And I'm more of like a product alternative seeker than a cyber-security researcher. If you're still supporting those cyber-spying agencies, you may look like a stupid garbage to tech giants nowadays.

4th Konami Arcade Championship and other events

What's a year for Bemani without KAC? It seems that the tournament had already started from this month to two months where the finals are taking place at JAEPO or something. In addition to that, there are already newer events that are coming in such as Power of Nature which requires one of Pop N Music Lapistoria songs to be unlocked in one of Bemani games as well as a different song from the same game that is to be unlocked in a different Bemani game and so on and Qpronicle Chord Phase 1 which is another Lincle Kingdom kind of event that is tedious to complete. Perhaps, you may be better off waiting for that event to be completely over or maybe finding other ways to unlock the remaining songs like I already unlocked all remaining Tricoro songs through Discover, Bemani Ruins event. Another thing for Power of Nature event is that the songs from various Bemani games will have to be unlocked to be playable in Pop N Music Lapistoria. Pretty much, the songs from that event are likely to be composed by wac/PON. Lastly, the two bonus tracks from IIDX Spada OST Vol. 2 are finally playable in IIDX Pendual without having to buy that soundtrack CD so that you can make use of the serial code number to do so.
And as of this writing, I had already finished the arrangement of Realize Maze from Pop N Music Lapistoria although I don't happen to be interested in the series visual-wise. Also, I pretty much gave up on the Chrono Seeker event before the days of KAC Preliminary Rounds started in favor of attempting the remaining songs I need to. I won't be at the arcades again until sometime next month.

Lizard Squad saga - From online game console service to Tor

Many of the gamers including us have already known the incident that had been on-going for days and that the services were compromised multiple times thanks to those fucking idiots who are called the members of Lizard Squad. Even if there's a political reason for those attacks, they shouldn't have done that multiple times and it's seriously wrong. Since there wasn't a proper reason for those attacks, it seems to us that they deserve to be sent to jail for this kind of cyber-stupidity. We already know what the other famous hacking groups are in which they are capable of doing advanced attacks on certain services just for the sake of freedom or something but that doesn't mean they can be FREAKING TRUSTED.
Oh, even the Tor service itself has been under attack as well but we don't care about that anymore as we already knew that it is no longer secure and it is being cyber-penetrated by those cyber-spying agencies. But sooner or later, those idiots who attacked both the Xbox Live and PSN will be arrested as they deserve for that recent attack as well. Perhaps, those spies already know what they did to Tor besides those two gaming services. Of course, their begging might be childish too like they wanted other hacking groups to leave their family alone and especially that they came crying to Mega founder for a trade of the MegaPrivacy voucher. Wish I can get that kind of voucher since I aim for higher privacy like an adult and have been taking actions online for freedom. Of course, I'm not the only one who does the action taking for price-sake. The other people are doing the same for same freedom. Even if we're not from US or any other country, we still have to fight for freedom lest our country ends up like those one day. I despise anything bad that goes against cyber-security, I despise those cyber-penetration/compromising groups like those idiots I mentioned above including SEA if you will, so the companies should do something to protect their consumers and prevent the similar incidents from happening again in the future.
So, if this cyber-stupid-ness happens again next time, then someone will do the verbal bashing on Lizard Squad for himself on the side or corner of the internet. Nobody knows how but we can assume that the bashing is actually a bunch of verbal insults thrown at the group and even then, nobody still cares for that shit.

Viber trolls on ESET for flagging their product as malware

Professionally speaking, the reason for flagging Viber as malware comes from ESET as they have detected the mysterious silent downloads of the unknown toolbars as part of the installation. Normally, you get additional crap you don't give a shit of when installing whatever software but this one seems to be on a different path as detected by ESET and thus, the trolling comes from someone behaving like a little kid on Twitter working at Viber. Does that even look like a professional tweet to us? Saying that some product sucks directly on Twitter or any other website is a wrong thing because the company behind that product or maybe someone else will have a comeback attack to you online because it sounds like a stupid troll. We should know what will probably happen for doing that and the consequences for doing it may be different too like a simple and common troll comment that sounds kind of childish will be flagged and voted down for that stupidity or maybe someone will scold you something online. That's gotta hurt if you're a kid doing all that stupid thing online and I have already seen some of the uselses trolls on YouTube that try to attack a bunch of awesome stuffs I like.
This troll from Viber on the other hand is not anything that childish but rather, a professional looking suggestion that tells users to uninstall ESET. But remember, if your professional product is flagged as malware like that by various antivirus brands, don't try to troll on those brands. Instead, you must figure out what the hell is wrong with it and try to remove the culprits found by those brands like the mysterious silent downloads of the toolbar set by Viber for example. There may be chances that those kinds of malware may be spywares set up by some corrupted agencies or perhaps some normal hackers that look like playthings to us and tech giants.
For me, I don't use Viber nor am I a security expert but it's important to know that it may look like a criticism from ESET after knowing the technical evidence found in Viber product. Will Viber do something to address that criticism or maybe continue to disrespect the customers without even knowing it?

Creating Your First 2D Game With Game Maker Jump Start

Okay, sure are new tools to learn of and especially for the various basic concepts I had never noticed. The directions in Game Maker are different than the standard mathematical concept and especially for the standard game making process in which the objects move to the right by positive x for example and it may be true. There are various documentations on other game genres and they may seem to be useful for developers in the future. Other tools include Soundation, Sfxr as well as Spine which are kind of new to me. Soundation is like the online version of the other Digital Audio Workstation and it may seem to be different than FL Studio which I have been using for music arrangement. Sfxr is for sound effect creation and Spine is the 2D character animation tool which can be useful for various game genres you may want to use for game development with Game Maker. Unfortunately, Spine is not free that you may need to buy it but there's the trial version of the tool to try out.
Collisions on the other hand, they are what I have been knowing a lot ever since that two objects that overlap by visible pixels may cause collisions and when that happens, the objects perform the various actions based on the collision event. The actions can of course be directed to other events as well in Game Maker which are the techniques I have been using. Not to mention that there are other features like Paths, Timelines, Rooms, Assets and so on.

Facebook's new privacy policy is postponed?

Whatapps had already enabled encryption for their service that protects users' privacy using the TextSecure technology but it looks like the lessons given to Facebook look like the pieces of lies. The new privacy policy planned by Facebook is about using photos and data of the users for the sake of advertisement or any other technical bullshit motive we can guess of and in return, allowing the companies behind their websites that are linked to Facebook to do the same. You think that Microsoft is going to do this bullshit in their accord next month with this policy? What about the other tech giants that are on Microsoft's side, huh?
The new plan will be effective starting next month but it seems that the same Dutch privacy watchdog, CBP has order Facebook to delay it as part of the investigation of the current one. The investigation can take months but even then, the privacy of the Facebook users is already violated with like what, no stronger encryption protection plans or something. You know what, they've fu**** it up, and it may be why they're told by CBP to delay this new bullshit!

Dutch privacy watchdog threatens Google with $18.5M fine

While it may look like Google is doing right with Android 5.0 or something, it cannot be the same with the other services run by that company. The data collection is still on-going for those services and it looks like Google is doing bad things like always and nobody knows on when will Google stop doing evil. Another doubt about Google is regarding the real Net Neutrality in the US. Sure, there may be those normal retards who don't even want that it and that's fucking stupid but the stupider ones happen to be those working at those evil ISPs in the US who come up with stupid lies against the Title II Net Neutrality in which they have their stupidly false claims about it.
Speaking of the on-going illegal data collection which is privacy invasion, it seems that Dutch privacy watchdog is threatening Google with a serious fine if they don't stop the privacy violation of the customers. There is also the breakup of Google in Europe perhaps to ensure that certain people want to be forgotten online although there may be downside that that movement is mis-done.
Be aware of what's going on, will you? You think that telling us to calm down and stop worrying about privacy violation is going to be that useful like telling us that there's nothing to hide? What about the tech giants' concerns? Maybe your concerns are not the same as ours? And if you continue to support that sort of corruption, perhaps, those evil ISPs are likely to be your examples. Sure, Microsoft is getting support from other tech giants when it comes to fighting data requests and it has been on-going although the battle is not over yet so there's nothing new I can blog about as I previously blogged about that.
