This is just propaganda from Satan’s PR team, they just don’t want it widely known that he accepts good soup as an alternative payment!

Now this is the kinda AC I can get behind, not that BS kernel level shit

Well maybe if you remember to plug it in every once in awhile

Use Librewolf and Mull instead.

And keep an eye on the Ladybird browser, eventually FF forks will die should FF go full-tilt enshittification, but hopefully not till Ladybird is fully ready

Ladybird is a completely new open source browser with it’s own from scratch engine, so that’s one that hasn’t been forked from any other browser

Labybird is a completely new upcoming open source browser, complete with its own from scratch engine

Theres also Servo an open source engine led by the Linux Foundation

There’s always the Ladybird browser and an independent open source browser engine called Servo that’s under The Linux Foundation

This is just the beginnings of the enshittification of FF. There are others out there, Ladybird for example, deserves our attention being built completely from scratch engine and all. Though it’s not slated to become fully usable until 2026 because, they’re building the engine from scratch lol

Cheats running at ring0 aren’t invisible

Every rootkit ever disagrees with that statement.

Clarification, to the game client, the cheat has to interact with the actual game process at some point. Rootkits try to interact with other processes as little as possible until instructed otherwise

I’m not deep enough in the topic to be able to judge this, but i would guess the needed extra hardware is simple not worth it. especially in games with many players or complex physics i would guess that could lead to considerable load on the servers.

Nope, the servers are already beefed up to just handle the players and physics as-is, adding detection routines to determine “Hey, this player is flying 100s of feet in the air and there’s no flying in this game” would be like a drop in the bucket

Plus, server side is not able to catch things the client manipulates on his side. e.g. graphical data to make walls transparent. The server could at most catch the player abusing this knowledge, but if he is smart about it, the server has no way to ever notice.

Do you realize how much cheating just some server-side checks would cut down? The most egregious ones are the ones people complain about, and hate, the most. The ones who instakill you or fling you far above the map or shoves you underground. The “smart ones” can be taken care of manually based on reports.

There will never ever be a 100% cheat proof game kernel AC or not. Nothing is unhackable.

It’s all about doing it as cheaply as possible and offloading to a third party to handle so they can wash their hands

A) They can actually invest in server-side detection

B) Cheats running at ring0 aren’t invisible, unkillable maybe, but AC just needs to detect to ban/kick user

There’s no excuse for kernel AC, it’s just a cheap, lazy shortcut

Battleye is supported on steam deck

But honestly FUCK kernel level ACs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BattlEye

Interacts with the game at the kernel level.

Fuck cheaters, but also FUCK kernel level shit, it’s possible to make a good AC without fucking around in the kernel.

I don’t even install third party Antivirus’ that hook into the kernel because of all the issues it causes. 80% of all BSODs I’ve traced back have always had a root cause because of some shit piece of software fucking around in the kernel. 15% is shitty drivers.

Kernel AVs and ACs actually act like malware in of itself with the types of hooks and interactions it performs. Anything operating at the kernel level can basically see just about everything you or your computer is doing

Fuck kernel level AC

Florida not being underwater is the first clue this isn’t a legit map lmao

Fuck MAGA, but a broken clock and all that lol

Fuck KOSA too

ETA:

it appears that the GOP’s leadership may have played themselves into making the right call for the right underlying reasons (the censorship powers), but based on a near total misunderstanding of how the world actually works.

LMAO

Many lazy programmers may just copy paste without thinking too much about the quality of generated code

Tbf, they’ve been doing that LONG before AI came along

The few advantages you mean, wouldn’t mind the FP if they’d use a processor that wasn’t years old and at least performed better than the Tensor G2 (A processor highly regarded as absolute crap)

Because the phrase “Cheaters never prosper” isn’t actually true. There are many executives, politicians and rich people that very very likely “cheated” at some point along the way to get where they are, multiple times probably.

Hell, I wouldn’t even be surprised if such phrases were spread by the rich/ruling class/whatever as just another thing to keep people divided lol

“C’s get degrees, and here’s the tease: no one’s asking for transcripts, just expertise.”

Here’s a comment about it I made a few weeks back in the context of why Jellyfin came to be and why I only ever recommend Plex or Jellyfin

This is going to go back quite a ways, and much of my knowledge is old at this point so some details might be off.

~15 years ago Plex as we know it started out as an OSX fork of the 0G Xbox homebrew software XBMC (Later renamed Kodi (For those who don’t know, XBMC was XBox Media Center and would turn the 0g Xbox into the cheapest Home Theater PC you could get at the time, man those were the days lol))

Plex was only briefly open source and then was quickly closed when they incorporated a year or so after they had something functional. They never made any promises about not charging or being open source or anything, so that’s why I’m generally fine with Plex

Sometime around 2012ish Emby came along as THE open source alternative to Plex and things were good. MOST of it was supposed to stay open source as was promised. From the beginning they kept build scripts n such closed source, probably should have caught on them, but heh ya know hindsight and all that.

Then around 2014/5 they took it all closed source, relicensed it and introduced their paywall including locking away already existing features. This is what pissed me and many others off and this is when and why Jellyfin split off promising to be truly fully open source forever. (There was a ton of drama about it at the time, but it looks like Embys Q&A thing a bit back doesn’t even bother to mention it, imagine that lol)

I don’t have a problem with subscriptions on open source software myself, but the way they went about it…yea. fuck em

I try not to be, but attention does need to be called to it, and I see a lot of handwaving away in regards to Mozilla. People should be demanding more answers from them to at least delay enshittification a little to give more time to the alternatives like Ladybird and Servo to develop and refine for widespread usage

Which thanks for pointing me towards Servo, I missed that one lol, but I still don’t think it has yet achieved feature parity with Gecko or Chromium
