Patches today patch source code. The kind of binary patching you talk about only works with deterministic builds, which sadly there's not enough of out there.

Mine are the serial numbers of Star ships.
You are not the same. You read, watch, and play FF to ingest stories. The group of kids I'm talking about just open Roblox and fucking check out.
Thank you, I will. Seriously.
I've grown up enough to understand that, but it still really bothers me how ignorant people are. You could go further: no curiosity, no adventure, no hobbies, and total lack of effort in almost every facet of life.
People just like to stagnate, and it shows in almost every situation. Not even technology related things, but everything.
My teenage little brother, as much as I love him, is kind of disappointing. He doesn't do anything but play Roblox. When he is grounded (often) he elects to take pictures of his feet and say stupid things to his "friends" instead of holding real conversations.
I've never been able to get him interested in anything that requires a modicum of effort, except for modded Minecraft. He likes the machines, and has built cool things, so I know he has the smarts, but he doesn't have the attention span or the patience to troubleshoot them if they don't work the first time. He gives up and starts doom scrolling social media. He has expensive shoes, the latest iPhone, and perms his hair. My mother encouraged this vapid pretty boy personality he's adopted, and I don't know why, he wasn't like that when he was younger.
He tries to make fun of me for having and Android phone and using Linux, and I explain to him that software development is what I do for a living and as a hobby. Look, I never ever ever see an ad, anywhere. He thinks AirPods sound good, and calls all earbuds "AirPods".
And he's not the only one, I'm tutoring a kid around his age for programming and math. This kid will answer "I don't know" to every single question, and when I check every 5 minutes to make sure he follows, he is obviously preoccupied.
When I was their age, I hated school just as much as any other kid (and I still think it needs serious reform because it might cause this kind of damage that I'm describing) but I still spent all of my free time either outside trying to make explosives, reading, or programming.
I do not understand the lazy I see all around me.
It's not really bizarre. You're digging in to something and responding to each comment, and every time you do, you talk from a perspective that to others is obviously flawed. In every comment you said "noooo I'm not a cheapskate, I just want an app for free" and that is amusing.
You're the asshole who posts useless bug reports on GitHub but never donates. Get the 🦆 out of my project issues.
- You clearly do. 2. Cheapskate.
He didn't go too far. It is a broad and overbearing, but generally accurate statement.
They're my little brother, his friends, and the kid I'm tutoring. Can't exactly just get rid of them.
