  • I did this a few years ago.

    Maybe the best option is to create an entirely new prefix in Heroic and install battle.net via their “run installer first” button. Via Winetricks GUI you can install the 2 fonts or whatever that the lutris script installs.

    Then, copy the game files of StarCraft 2 or WoW or whatever to the new prefix program files.

    Then, in battle.net, it will either auto-detect the game, or you can go through the “search for games” flow in settings.

    That should work, it is always better to have a fresh prefix as it takes almost no space. Once everything is copied you can simply delete the old one.


  • If I remember right, this has been quietly in the works for years. It aims to be a 1-1 discord replacement.

    Screen sharing/streaming, group video channels, voice channels are a priority, some of which completely do not work at all or very limited in stoat (the last I heard about it). I think that is the difference.

    A different focus than matrix or stoat which seem more about being a slack alternative first and then voice/video were thrown in later with YMMV results.





  • It was literally never about the children

    There is a lawyer’s wet dream of evidence against thousands of real-world non-speculative child rapists and abusers with names, phones, emails, and literal video evidence and written admissions of guilt of systematic rape, torture, abuse, and child sex trafficking that are legally usable in court.

    What has been done about it?

    Not one. Single. Arrest. Because the guys implementing the tracking are the same ones raping and torturing children.

    This is not a policy or tool to protect children.

    This is a way for the exact same sadist pedophiles to track children’s identities so that they can use that plus data broker data to figure out what kids are most vulternable and target them to be raped, tortured, and abused.





  • We did exactly the opposite of what you say, we monitized the scams and turned to entire internet into an scam-ad infested wasteland of the greed of 10 people at the cost of driving the rest of humanity to mindless addictions, grooming, and manipulating human psyche to eek out more money and mass-propagandize.

    The majority of the internet is 10x worse than it was 20 or 30 years ago and there are literally more bots than people, according to research.






  • You’re right, we don’t live in a utopia, so do you actually think the governments (since all governments seem to be doing some form of this) will not simply allow bots (bots are from companies, and neo-liberal governments will twist themselves into an inter dimensional pretzel if it pleases megacorps), foreign intervention (having a valid foreign ID doesn’t atop people from astroturfing), etc?

    They have more than a dozen ways to combat misinformation already and they actively choose not to use any of them at all because it meets their goals.

    Do you think normal people will be able to access the IDs of anyone to see if they are astroturfing and spreading misinformation? Literally a 0.001% chance of that happening.

    Literally the only thing that will happen is that normal people get tracked to hell and back and when the authoritarians manufacture enough consent to take power, it will immediately be used to dispose of their dissidents. Only bad comes from this because the democratic or socialist cleaning governments don’t have the spine to actually use it against the billionaire class.
