Earnings is incoming money before any expenditures

I mean they already take part in the Eurovision so why not? Additional bonus: people will have an even harder time differentiating Austria and Australia

If anything “Using violence to fix the world” would be the better thing to be good at since it protects you from the Monkey Paw to a certain extent. Exceptions:

• a “fixed” world being one devoid of humans
• a “fixed” world panning out in the opposite way you imagined (everyone is equally miserable instead of happy for example)

Yeah really not much else needed to be said here. What happened with Crowdstrike is exactly the sort of exploit Kernel Level Anti-Cheat in general has been critized for enabling on consumer hardware.

The Yast2 GUI is something every distro needs imo. I think there were like 2 things I had to configure from the terminal on openSUSE with everything else being readily accessible from the Yast2 Management Apps. Even as someone comfortable with CLI this is a godsend of a feature.

I hate summer, I dislike shorts and t-shirts being too much clothing for the scorching heat. I also don’t like seeing our dried up husk of a garden despite best attempts to water the damn thing.

Wait so the malware won’t even need a rootkit first? Damn this is worse than I thought…

because you’re not “allowed” (in some places you are) to copy stuff you paid for.

I only suggest Linux if they complain about Windows. The only thing gushing about Linux unprompted and unwanted does is sour the waters.

And also double check whether their use case actually works on Linux, all the improvements in recent years are nice but there are still enough edge cases that checking beforehand is a good idea

Because the lemmy.ml admins have a very particular moderating style they want to extend to all of the communities on their site I guess.

I’m going out on a limb here and guessing that Samsung is shipping two wildly different software packages to americans and europeans because none of what you stated is a problem on my end (aside maybe spyware)

According to the kernel output on any android phone: yes

It certainly is possible but the more fancy stuff would need to be locked behind some paywall. Hosting 720p30 content is very doable but if users have the option they will of course upload everything and their mother in 4k60 at which point gl with the storage costs alone, nvm the need for hardware acceleration.

Nope, it’ll just get worse and worse as LLMs start getting compact enough to get sicced on that Bot blocker. I think eventually the whole system will invert with captchas only proving you are human if you fail them.

I’m trying it out and it feels oddly comfortable. Obviously muscle memory from the regular layout is getting in the way but I can feel that the devs are onto something.

if you could guarantee no cheaters I’m in

Well if that were working I doubt we’d have two dozen Anti-Cheat Systems. You can lock down a system as much as you want the cheaters will always find a way unless the game itself discourages it.

And then this isn’t as much about privacy as it is about basic system security. I mean sure the privacy concern is there but it’s less of a concern for most people. There’s not much to gain from a rootkit with average Joe, after all their entire life is already on Instagram. No the far more serious part is that these Anti-Cheats are ripping country sized holes into your computers security, as can be seen beautifully by Genshin’s kernel level malware anti-cheat being used as a convenient rootkit for a ransomware (https://www.pcgamer.com/ransomware-abuses-genshin-impacts-kernel-mode-anti-cheat-to-bypass-antivirus-protection/). If you are willing to compromise your PC’s security for a tiny decrease in cheaters sure go ahead, but don’t come crying when it inevitably blows up in your face and your PC becomes the victim of a hack exploiting this shit.

Once upon a time all Apps ran on Kernel level, there’s a reason we don’t do that anymore.

yet whenever the EU smacks down on Apple for being monopolistic assholes the fanbois come crawling out of their holes and start crying about how they liked their shitty walled garden and that now everything will go to hell because someone is forcing Apple to do reasonable things. (See USB C mandate, see DMA discussion about the AppStore)

see my reply to another comment here. I mentioned EAC simply because most games use it and don’t enable the required flag for Linux support.

iirc Easy-Anticheat has a sort of “Lite” mode that also runs on Linux, enabling it makes the games work with Proton but iirc degrades the Anticheat capabilities on those Systems. Because the Linux Anticheat isn’t as effective (and because it’s an Opt-In) most games don’t use it.

Talking a lot out of my ass here but I think that’s how it was explained back when they made that change.
