  1. Sorry for the long reply too. If you want to use the term "federated technology" outside of the fediverse stuff then you could argue the entire internet is "federated" between the major ISP oligopolies.
  2. Everyone should always approach electronics with the mindset that everything is hackable and nothing can ever truly be secure. People make dangerous code all the time and aren't aware of it. Its always possible a rogue coder could implement something dangerous in a project or a malicious person could abuse someone's mistake.
  3. This is ultimately an argument of common sense, you're claiming your common sense is different from others and while that may be genuine it is advantageous for you to hold this position to attempt to avoid punishment. You're also arguing for even more rules for everyone else because you fucked up.
  4. Please don't. Its obvious that while fuck or dickhead can be harsher word than cuck I doubt many people would get aroused at the thought of a person being a dickhead or their head being a dick or whatever interpretation of that insult you want to go with, while cucking is more likely to be erotic as thats an actual fetish.
  5. Corporations have a drive to increase profits, often to a suicidal level, so no matter what I expect reddit and discord to not be around forever and even when they aren't killing themselves I expect them to abuse my rights and privacy at every opportunity. Federated technology seems cool but ultimately no one uses it and even when people use it the inherent interconnected nature of it turns it into twitter but even fucking worse. Bots, scammers, probably state backed propagandists, etc, all roam almost unchecked and sometimes even flood the fediverse with spam. Creating communities and cultures is almost totally impossible as everyone gets a little bit of everything all of the time. Forums like this one ran by individuals and small groups have been around for decades covering countless topics and given how shit the internet is becoming I expect them to remain important for the foreseeable future.
  6. Federated tech seems cool but nothing has stood the test of time like classic forums.
  7. Theres massive protests because reddit is banning third party frontends or something. Its been very common for social media sites to do recently so they can make sure they're farming everyone's data.
  8. Ive never seen a server rated below 16+ so this shouldn't be an issue.
  9. Have you tried using a gun to kill someone? You'll get lynched by everyone in a 10 mile radius and even if you kill your target guess whos getting cloned and whos not?
  10. I meant more along the lines of all of command and security either being dead or captured by agents. I doubt the chef really cares who he serves burgers to.
  11. You have to validhunt on wizden or else you get banned? damn why not just call it a no roleplay server then?
  12. Ive always liked spessman gaming for its bleak humor and always found ss13's obsession with fart jokes very tone deaf. I hope it doesn't come to ss14 or at least in a very limited capacity.
  13. Sec is over regulated because they are all powerful and only have to get permission internally from their own heads to do anything they want and at the most extremes need captain permission. Cargo is a lot like hop in the sense they have a lot of power and its unlikely people will find out if they abuse it, but it is still against ic rules if they abuse it. A lot of departments can heavily abuse their positions of power and its always been the job of sec to keep them in line, its why sec is all powerful and can't roll antag.
  14. Tell the rest of sec, raid them with nonlethals, if they fire back ahelp them for self antagging. simple.
  15. I like the idea of nonantags being able to commit crimes without antag gear as that gives security more, less critical, work to do and on a metagaming level makes sure sec can't know if someone is 100% a syndicate or not for having a pistol on them or whatever. If that does get implemented I hope its at least hackable via wires but wizard den's devs really hate graytiders and keep making graytiding harder. I worry about the day those updates get pushed to the servers I play.
  16. Security doesnt need to micromanage cargo, they just need to listen or listen to comms. On the servers I play everyone calls out any gunshots or explosions they hear near them, even firing a proto on the station gets salvage a unwelcome visit from sec.
  17. Also salvage isnt supposed to own guns at all beyond protos without permission so them owning smgs is a failure of security not a failure fundamental to game mechanics. Nothing is stopping anyone from emagging cargo and getting a smg crate besides cargo employees.
  18. Please for the love of god don't destroy the salvage department. Guns are not good weapons for spycraft and as far as im aware salvage cant find silenced pistols. Engineering can turn the entire station dark. Atmos has access to a fireaxe and can flood the station with plasma. Medical can make instakill death cocktails and easily mass produce enough to murderbone the station. Science can make bombs and make anoms go critical easily. Salvage has a very low skill floor and also a very low skill ceiling and is very necessary for new players exactly like you who see a gun and think "wow this is dangerous". Its also a great way to train new players to become robust so please dont smother this game to death with shitty rules.
  19. Yes, the easiest way is to get epsilon is to peacefully surrender the station to the syndicate.
  20. Never played leviathan and now after reading this I kind of never want to if this guide is representative of the culture. I tend to view things toward the goal of improving roleplay for everyone, that also includes gray areas. 8. Shitsec does exist and some people roleplay as sec to be as lawfully evil as possible and they can actually roleplay it pretty well, although sometimes it is outright self antagging. 9. The way this is worded sounds like it'll encourage nothing but metagaming and validhunting, this issue should be approached from the perspective of self antagging. C&S. This is an amogus sussy imposter whodunnit murder mystery game 70% of the time and a syndicate with a bag of c4 30%, not second life or vrchat. If people don't want stress they probably shouldn't intentionally go for difficult command roles, shouldn't be playing this genre of videogame, or should be playing on a server with the extended gamemode. 3. While there is ic reasons to not give everyone everything they want as we work for a corporation that is most likely interested in maximizing profits at any cost, it seems like a lot of this is metagaming as we all know most rounds tend to be syndicate spies not nukies or whatever. 4. All departments cooperating would be ideal but as command if they arent it is your job to fix it or tell the appropriate command staff to. Take it as a roleplay challenge.
  21. There also seems to be a speed difference in roleplays. HRP is painfully slow, MRP rounds usually last a few hours and on LRP expect the station to be burning down within an hour.
  22. SS14 account username: f0x Ban reason: vpn Date of ban: n/a Length of ban: n/a Events leading to the ban: n/a Reason the ban should be removed: I sometimes use public wifi and similarly insecure wifi services and would like to be able to play on official servers on a vpn for security reasons as vpns can help protect from many things such as arp spoofing, deep packet inspection, post quantum attacks, and unnecessary data collection. I assume you guys use IP logging to enforce your rules but I have invested some time into my account and havent broken any so far.
  23. Wasn't that the point of assistant before people realized they could graytide?
  24. f0x

    I cannot log in

    What does the launcher say when the login fails? Are you 100% sure you haven't just mistyped your password? Now with all that out of the way, it looks like launcher logging is enabled for you with the checkmark in the box of the bottom left of that screenshot so you should try to find the log directory. Check the typical places for videogame files like the install folder and appdata, if you can't find it I can spin up a windows vm and look for you.
  25. If its possible can this account get whitelisted for vpn usage?
