Wow it finally happened. So glad I switched to steam running on linux mint last week. I refused to install helldivers because it wanted to install some no holds barred god level permissions anti-cheat software. Windows 11 was the last straw for me. Good times…
The volunteers at the Anti-Cheat Police Department have since issued a PSA announcing, “There is currently an RCE exploit being abused in [Apex Legends]” and that it could be delivered via from the game itself, or its anti-cheat protection. “I would advise against playing any games protected by EAC or any EA titles”, they went on to say.
As for players of the tournament, they strongly recommended taking protective measures. “It is advisable that you change your Discord passwords and ensure that your emails are secure. also enable MFA for all your accounts if you have not done it yet”, they said, “perform a clean OS reinstall as soon as possible. Do not take any chances with your personal information, your PC may have been exposed to a rootkit or other malicious software that could cause further damage.”

Because it’s super annoying, clogs comment feeds and is unnecessary to be a giant wall of text comment for something ~50% of people don’t care about.
And yes, I use the default YouTube app because it works.
We can always downvote piped bot posts.
Some people just dont like bots lmao, weird effect of reddit users migrating over.
Any bot that isn’t explicitly summoned is spam.
I do love the abbreviation bots though, they should be automatically summoned the first time a new abbreviation is used in a comment tree
That one is actually nice.
I think it should be required to get manually added to a community by moderators still though. Or respond to a summon to a specific thread.
