dance_ninjaIt’s not really a win though. It just means Linux will get blocked by platforms.
The fun part of open source is that someone smarter than me will inevitably just update the existing spoofing tools to include whatever checks those platforms are using.

I hope I’m wrong though.
If the pirates have taught me anything, it’s that there’s a way around everything, and someone somewhere is smart enough and bored enough to find it.
