I've been messing with LMMS for the past couple of years, zero musical training, following YouTube tutorials at first and came up with a bunch of stuff that sounds half decent in my opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsjzt5QLGOg&list=PL54E2psbCL...
I recorded a little of gameplay on max settings, it brings my 2080 ti down on rare occasion with 2 light pass, I also did the optional DLSS it offers, not sure if that does anything to performance: https://youtu.be/61x-AKLRoFo
Or maybe quantum immortality occurs, where your consciousness jumps into a universe where you are still alive despite all the odds.
Or perhaps the universe is just snapshots of infinite patterns locked in permanent static states and this entire progression of time, physics, etc is just an illusion created by the sub-process of consciousness that creates dynamic transitions from one state to another.
It's probably my inability to perceive the concept of infinity that my mind thinks about such things, either way we will probably never know.
However it's surprising that no serious 3D game has ever been made with it, except a few demos. Why is this the case? I already noticed some sound issues in heavily scripted demos, is this engine very limited for 3D?
For example current version of Iridium is 2019.04.73.0(based on Chromium 73.0.3683.103), it doesn't get updated that often but a useful and stable browser.
Anyway to mitigate this exploit via any setting or extension?
This has to be some type of a bug, every extension gets disabled with zero notice and cannot be re-downloaded.
I'm not seeing it myself yet, but haven't restarted firefox in a few hours.
Has anyone tried disabling xpinstall.signatures.required in about:config? Saw someone mention it elsewhere, but didn't try it in time.

People across various discussions are suggesting that the purpose & origin of these findings seem suspicious.
Avast/Piriform claim that the payload is not executed at all on 64 bit systems, and there is no secondary payload.
I guess it depends how much you want to trust that information.
By default CCleaner installs both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, however on 64-bit systems it only runs the 64-bit executable and points every shortcut it makes to the 64-bit executable.
On one of my affected systems that appears to have had 5.33 installed, I noticed no registry keys that appear to be created and that system never ran the 32-bit executable.
Would it be safe to assume it's not affected and simply uninstalling CCleaner 5.33 is enough?
Piriform seems to suggest that only some useless system information was ever released by the compromised version. The general worry is that it wasn't just that information, but also other more important things like account logins and such.
Also there are specific feeds on twitter for some cities that report police/fire scanners. If you ever get a power outage you can track the scale within minutes, by looking at which addresses/intersections have stuck elevator reports.
Giving government absolute control over distribution of a non-essential product/service is probably not the best idea, but at least it's better than having that product/service be completely illegal. Ideally they should allow private businesses to sell under very strict guidelines.
2) Only in WINE and you'll have to run it yourself.
3) Partly NSA for weaponizing the exploit. Users for not updating. Hackers/Crackers for creating it.
Thanks for correcting me, looks like a pretty cool project will have to look more into it.

I've already run into many issues trying to run older software from Windows 98/XP days. For example certain older tools for Quake1 modding don't work properly on anything past Windows XP.
Even something like Photoshop CS2 has certain bugs running under Windows 7.
What am I saying is that having an open source OS for Windows, is a huge deal if you are interested in hardware preservation for the future.
Therefore in reply to the original post about the current endeavor being "sad" I would say that it is quite the opposite.
Wine is very important as well, but it is a completely different piece of software in my opinion.
Imagine a few decades from now, Windows has either transformed so much that it can no longer run certain things or it entirely disappears as a platform.
Something like ReactOS could become very useful to running legacy stuff or perhaps the code can be recycled for emulation/vm and legally offered for free. It can also be used on older hardware to bring back Windows applications/gaming, while also keeping it up to date.
