It's a...The internet controversy over the Nemesis patent is extremely overblown – a game would have to plagiarize basically the entirety of the intricate game loop described to infringe upon it. It's a patent on a highly specific collection of several mechanics, not a patent on each mechanic. Studios could easily implement something similar without infringing if they thought it were worth the cost to develop a whole game around it.

If someone's lobbing that claim, they already either consider the substance of your posts to be indistinguishable from slop or they're incapable of discerning substance from slop, so trying to appease their broken radar seems pointless.

Ah, I specifically avoided doing that after "failing" the previous phishing test (apparently even right-clicking in Outlook to copy-link made a request). I think their traffic analysis was just extremely aggressive and included the plaintext TCP 43 traffic. But yeah, after that second strike, I did exactly what the parent comment did and started auto-dumpstering all emails that had non-Proofpoint links, because those phishing test URLs are the only ones that didn't get proxied by URL defense for some reason…

This seems to be overly charitable and confusing cause with effect. Their other post here wherein they didn't engage at all wasn't a one-off, it's in line with their activity on HN. After achieving moderate success with a single blog post on HN, OP proceeded to spam a followup metastory 3 times [1] [2] [3] in four days, another blog post 3 times [4] [5] [6] in six days, two more meta posts about their one successful post [7] [8], and didn't engage with a single comment in their 117+ comment post 10 days ago [9]. I don't think @creesch's hostility is unwarranted, this just looks like a spammer chasing that fleeting high of internet virality.

ReVanced's recently launched Spotify Premium patches seem to work flawlessly thus far. It is a bit unfortunate that users have to go through the additional friction of creating a merged APK themselves though.
