I haven't read the article, probably won't, doesn't really interest me. But I thought the title pretty clearly implies you don't play as the shooter. I'm surprised others didn't interpret the same way.

Many people misunderstand. It's not that Orange Cats have a single braincell. It's that all orange cats on the planet share a single braincell among them. At any given moment only one orange cat may be using the braincell.

AFAIK it ends up on the ground, and in the ground water. Which means that it could contaminate drinking water if it's not treated properly. It will enter rivers and lakes, and snow and everywhere else that water gets.

It's a fork bomb. It exponentially forks processes in the background in an attempt to consume all CPU cycles.

Rogue*. I'm not usually that guy, but this particular typo makes me see red.

The series shit the bed with the online only bullshit with small maps, and then Cities Skyline came along shortly thereafter to steal their lunch.

Oh look, yet another fucking post complaining about new users posting about their experiences switching to Linux. This should be a welcoming community welcoming to all Linux users new and old.

We used to blow tobacco smoke up people's asses, literally.

I can see why you might think that, but that's not how it works. All of the text is downloaded up front, but is hidden initially. It is made to appear as you scroll, but it does not get the text via additional web requests. If you view the page source, or inspect element you can see it all there.

towing the company line

Just an FYI, it's toeing in the idiom, not towing. Thought you might want to know.

I got the impression that it wasn't exactly unprompted and that they had been being overwhelmed with take down requests. Like it or not, Lemmy instances do have to follow the laws of their local jurisdiction. Which means responding to take down requests when applicable. The post suggested that until they had tools to better manage that, they had to block them, but have unblocked them now which implies that they have those tools.

Lemmy doesn't do spoilers the same way that Reddit does. Sync appears to still be using the reddit style of spoilers, i.e. >!spoiler!<, however on the web-ui those are visible to users, and the spoilers that web users use in the editor which look like this:

descriptionspoiler goes here

Aren't hidden in Sync. Consider this a PSA for users of Sync that may want to avoid spoilers or avoid spoiling others. Personally, I'd like to see >!spoiler!< supported more widely on Lemmy, but in the meantime this should probably be addressed in Sync.

Didn't Ubisoft make a statement afterwards that they would not be deleting accounts that have game purchases?

The title is a bit click-baity. Even the article acknowledges that Ubisoft has stated they won't be deleting accounts that have purchased games. That's no excuse not to take precautions, of course, but it feels a bit like fearmongering, and the world has far too much of that these days.
