This is all fine and dandy but how does everyone feel giving up there personal privacy of there own computer running an injected DLL that they have no real idea what its looking at or for.

What I find odd is that no one has any fear at all of these DLL's which could cause a whole host of security issues.

Just run EQ via Wine on Linux and you don't have to worry about your DLL's messing with anything else [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
What tristantio said. In your face. Using windows and complaining about privacy issues? Doesn't blend.

Seriously guys, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you do not really try to find excuses to complain without admitting that you are cheaters. I do agree it is not a good feeling to have some software on your system where you don't know what it does and how much control someone has over it. But in the case of windows, that is true for the whole operating system, and in case of any legit piece of closed-source software you have to trust the publisher not to spy on you. So much software is "phoning home", especially microsoft products.

I would say I trust our coders here a lot more than big corporate industry xy. And of course, that does not make me naive. My EQ runs in a wine sandbox, good luck trying to get to my private data or corrupting my system with that.

Give it a thought. Microsoft windows is the most widespread OS, but it is - by far - not the most user friendly. Some Linux distributions have outclassed Windows by now, and if enough people helped to increase the market share, we'd get more commercial software (games!) released for Linux also.

Best regards,

Slozem

You don't seem to know much about computers. Yes, that does make you naive, Wine doesn't "sandbox" anything, and what does "user friendly" have to do with anything you're talking about here?

I would say the sandboxing depends fully on the configuration you run it in. But you were right, my wine runs in no real sandbox, thanks for the heads-up. Your insult in my general direction definitely makes the advice all the more helpful [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
