I think that’s a very big stretch and I don’t think we’ll see that any time soon. Microsoft is already losing market share and they can’t do much more of this type of stuff because more and more people are getting annoyed. (Including ones with a following such as PewDiePie)

Anyways, Linux is great.

You realize this’ll occur at the expense of Microsoft treating the user as an untrustworthy enemy.

What do you mean? Take away your ability to create drivers? Because it’s already extremely limited and you need to get signed. I guess this “change” would just mean not signing any new antivirus drivers.

This means modding (even for offline play) will not be allowed. Heck, even modify ini files might be viewed as “hacking”.

That’s a completely wrong take. Whether or not an anticheat runs in the kernel or not does not mean people can just go and edit their files. Even with a kernel level anticheat people can already do that if the driver is not running. The correct way is to do purity checks during connection to an online server, and only allow serverside code to update the gamestate. Any texture file hacks and local purity bypasses for those would need to be caught by the userland anticheat, like it has been done for ages. Not the best solution, but far more privacy friendly.

I agree removing the need for anti-cheat in principal sounds nice, but this means archiving games or porting them to “unsupported platforms” will be relics of the past.

Another weird take. Are you talking about the anticheat not being installable anymore? Because even if a game comes with a kernel level anticheat it would need a valid certificate, so any dead game would eventually have this problem regardless of it being allowed to install the driver. Porting games would in almost all cases get rid of the anticheat or somehow null it, disable any custom servers from forcing a valid anticheat, stuff like that. And archiving would be much easier without any anticheat at all, again regardless of kernel anticheat or userland anticheat.

MUCH better solutions against hacker are to use all this amazing machine learning stuff on the server side, put more power back into the hands of admins and their selfhosted servers, and handle reports about hackers better and faster.

I guess the trick is to not look for stuff to host because you’ll end up with all kinds of things you weren’t doing in the first place.

There are no reports of Israel or Russia using ArduPilot though.

The fix is to chmod it all to 777.

Because Plex used to be good but new it’s just pure enshitification.

Stupid screenshot has the Eye icon on the image which hides the burning trees.

cd .

That’s not a bash script silly.

Really wish I could get a Fairphone with GrapheneOS.

That would be the best of two worlds.

Consider dropping Windows instead

And maybe in a few more years you’ll be able to exit it.

Run Linux stuff on Windows.

A big use case is development with Docker containers.

The amount of requests my browser is making to that website is insane. POST /elasticsearch/mget every second. Looking at the response I see that the default (probably fake) questions have 1000+ answers.

Hehe butt

You can just export your subscriptions and create an account on another instance in cases like these.

When we overthrow the authoritarian governments, whatever bricks you have been throwing or using for building, you’ll have a place in our community.

Privacy.

You can be suspicious but shouldn’t just outright start banning them.

Yeah I just have it to follow some people, companies and projects that don’t really have a good RSS feed.

Fun little project but I think auth_basic would be perfectly fine instead.
