I like the part where you intentionally omitted the US figure of 13.7M users.

I compared China, Russia and Brazil (as indicative extremums), so I showed statistics only of these countries. At the same time, giving a link where the data of 227 countries and territories are presented. Updated the message for you.

I can't beat the argument: too many users from a certain country = they are bots. It's too baseless. But as they say, what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

It looks like you have a strong dislike for some nationalities (or maybe it's just your butthurt replies vibe). Anyway, too much hate from you, bro. Just chill out and do some region restricted giveaway =)

I can't say anything about Brazil, but these sites are blocked in Russia (well-known): Youtube, Discord, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, most VPNs, Tor (network), etc. To understand the scale:

At the request of Roskomnadzor, more than 885 thousand sites with information prohibited by law were blocked or deleted in Russia from January to June 2023
In addition, the number of blocked or deleted individual materials on the Internet has increased to 1.1 million, which is 10% more than in the whole of 2022, it is further noted.

I think you're deliberately provoking people with your rudeness and overall behavior. But whatever, maybe you're not doing it out of malice, just born this way.

You voiced an opinion based on certain numbers, and I pointed out that your opinion is superficial and, to some extent, offensive.

Now you're ignoring the part of my message where I provided an example of statistics that highlight the ambiguity of your judgments. Instead of responding to that, you decided either to troll me or insult me...

You are stereotyping an entire nationality by the phrase "another Russian", dismissing individual perspective by focusing on my nationality rather than my argument, using mocking tone ("Oh, look") and deflecting your responsibility by claiming you have "no opinion on statistics" thereby refusing to engage meaningfully with the argument (Instead of addressing the merits of the discussion, you frame "the Russian guy response" as irrational or emotional).

That's a very clueless take on the status of IT Sec.

Clueless? Without offering substantial counterarguments it sounds more like an attempt for a personal attack from your side.

You managed to combine negative stereotyping, condescension, and a personal attack to dismiss the other person's argument without engaging meaningfully. In one short reply. Nice!

I think I made a mistake right from my first message - I really shouldn’t have bothered starting any discussion with you at all. Clearly, there’s no point in trying to have a dialogue.

I'm personally only bothered because they're supposedly visiting the site every few hours yet it takes them 3 or 4 days to notice they won something and to activate the key. If they were a bit more timely, or they also automated key redemption and marking the GA as received, I honestly wouldn't give a fuck about bots. It's not like I care that they didn't press the big green button themselves.

• Go to your Userscript Manager. In my case it is violent monkey. Look for the "Do You Even Play, Bro?" userscript. Hover over the options near it and click the one which says edit. This will open a new tab. (Incase you have like a hundred userscripts installed, a quicker way is to just go to any Wins page and you will see that its active there.)

• Again the following might differ based on your script manager. For ViolentMonkey right below the userscript title an option appears:
  [Auto-updated script is read-only unless you disable updates or allow editing. ✅Allow update ✅ Allow edits (next update will overwrite them)]
  Make sure you enable allow edits.

• Now go to the code suggested in the comments here, copy each line that needs to be replaced and search for it (Ctrl+F) within the userscript window. Replace with the code suggested for the each line.

• Make sure to Save/ Save and close on the top right of the userscript code window after you're done with it.

Here's the number of monthly active users per level.

Haha alright I see how I fit xD, interesting. Maybe because they'd have to sell them at very low prices due to what some people make there and they realized some people would abuse that somehow to either buy really cheap and maybe sell at higher prices and decided just to region lock that area completely.

И твоя тактика - спрашивать случайных людей, не работают ли они в скворечнике, что бы далее уточнить свой вопрос? 😲

What brain? It's positive you don't have one. I take so long cause I'm lazy, I see your comment, and then I think, do I really want to reply to this dumbo right now, or do I wanna play this or that? Most of the time I wanna play something, or watch yt instead, or whatever else is worth my time atm more than educating some random on the internet. But I'm nice so I eventually get back to you or whoever. I'm certain you don't appreciate that cause you'd like to act like a monkey and have me forget about you just for you to feel smart or in the right, but I wont forget, I'm always coming back for you. I actually look over most threads just to see if there's anything interesting or see what people like or don't when I'm bored, so I'm here plenty, that and I own so many games it's kinda hard to find something to spend my points on, so I come to sg like 3-10 times a day to see if anything new gets posted, that's because some people post giveaways that end in 1 hour. Basically I got too much free time. I appreciate your accusation tho. Really makes my first sentence stand out. If you didn't know or didn't care, you wouldn't respond you rat. You obviously do, but your neurons aren't firing and you think you're funny or snarky or something.

You could've spent your time trying to argue against my point or those numbers, instead you did it to look like a trashcan. What a waste. See ya.

🤔Umm?
It's a country where there are coterie magazine sales.

There are fewer restrictions on expression because those activities identify a segregation between gray areas and violations.
As a result, they have the information to avoid copyright violations, which is desirable.

It's just that...
There was a time when some game makers were double-pricing their products for both Japan and overseas markets.

Overseas, it is very cheap....For Japan, it is expensive.

Because of this kind of thing, there has been an increase in people buying Steam keys from overseas.
　Also, because of the practice of implementing Japanese only on the Console board, there are times when the Console board of some overseas titles supports Japanese, but the Steam board does not.

And recently, the price of PS5 has skyrocketed, and there is a noticeable trend to update to PC, even if it is only Nintendo Switch, because some online games are several years behind the implementation of PC boards on the Console board.

It is more of a reason for the Japanese not to cheat....
“Japanese is not supported by the game's language list!”
　And since Japanese language speakers are not that large in the world, they will not reach out to games that are not sold at the cost of Japanese language support.

　Furthermore, because of the tendency to “thoroughly look for and point out the bad points of any good thing, not just games,” smart Japanese manufacturers will delay the sale of PC boards in Japan for a few days and fill them with review ratings from users outside of Japan before selling them to the Japanese market. They were so wary of reviews from Japan that they would delay sales of PC boards for a few days and fill them with reviews from users outside Japan before selling them to the Japanese market.

　And there are probably only a few people who are scared of malware and viruses and are not willing to translate English and replace it with Japanese to get pirated copies because it's not worth it.
　It is true that there was a time long ago when pirated copies flooded the market like the Winny incident, and there was a time when there were tons of indie games made in Japan, but there are many games that are buried inconspicuously in the history of foreign countries with few Japanese-only compatible games for Japan being translated into English and released It is a fact that there are many games that are buried inconspicuously in the history of foreign countries.

For the most part, when Japanese users play foreign games, they have a hard time deciding whether the Japanese version is easy or difficult to translate into Japanese.
In neighboring countries, where the total number of players is overwhelmingly large and piracy is high, they make translated patches, and although some of these patches can be processed into Japanese patches, they often have various things planted in them, so they cannot be used unless you are somewhat familiar with using a PC.

As a result, it seems that a large percentage of users play on smartphones or Nintendo switches, especially if they are Japanese without any major concerns.

The threat actor says this GitLab configuration file contained an authentication token allowing them to download the Internet Archive source code.

The hacker says that this source code contained additional credentials and authentication tokens, including the credentials to Internet Archive's database management system. This allowed the threat actor to download the organization's user database, further source code, and modify the site.

The threat actor claimed to have stolen 7TB of data from the Internet Archive but would not share any samples as proof.

However, now we know that the stolen data also included the API access tokens for Internet Archive's Zendesk support system.

BleepingComputer attempted to contact the Internet Archive numerous times, as recently as on Friday, offering to share what we knew about how the breach occurred and why it was done, but we never received a response.

🙄
Only the attacker, or the archive administrator, will know for sure.
　However, given that the second attack was carried out through inadequate countermeasures, it is best to stay away from the site until it is deemed safe again.
　It might be better to wait for a report from a security information website confirming that it is safe.

So, when I'm on a game gifting platform I can't be killed? Good to know.

Russians and Ukrainians are the same race.

As a German I don't see anything wrong with blaming our ancestors for what happened. With the exception of the those who opposed Hitler.

Likewise I also blame anyone voting for extreme nationalists and wannabe authoritarians today, no matter what their excuses are for doing so.
