> Some systems (notably BattleEye) actually have Linux support, they just need to enable it, but there's no incentive for them to do so.

This isn't really true. As GP said, there isn't a kernel level anti cheat for linux. You can switch a flick on BattleEye to run on linux but it wont be a kernel level as it is on windows. So there is an incentive for them to not turn it on because it simply is the worse version than the windows one. As far as I know even on windows you get cheats even if it is kernel level. Meaning, allowing linux you'd probably be flooded with cheaters if you already get them on windows.

Battleeye games get flooded with cheaters no matter what. On most anti cheats is the same anyways. Just see tarkov for a battleeye game with rampant cheaters

ADHD is in part an adaptation to being bombarded with information in the Internet era.

I'm sure it's a legitimate disorder in the most severe cases as well, but like most psych quackery, there are way too many doctors and patients (80%+) too eager to self-diagnose and put people on a prescription and call it a day.

Doctors get money from pharma and people get to use their "disorder" as a convenient excuse for everything. That's what we call incentive alignment in economics.

How is it an adaptation? My understanding is that the internet era disrupts ADHD people the most.

Yes, I've heard this time and time again. It has nothing to do with the point I'm making. This is just stoking the flamewar.

If you want to compare Waymo and Tesla FSD from a technology standpoint and claim superiority of one over the other you can't use simple values like interventions per mile. It says very little. The solutions were designed for different purposes under different constraints. That's what engineers do. If Waymo was attempting to make consumer viable self driving vehicles they would have made very different decisions and likewise for Tesla if their only goal was taxi. That should be obvious to any technologist.

By definition if you aim to get autonomous that means you aim for zero or at least a very low intervention per mile. Tesla boast about that but doesn't provide.

I agree with you on the "Your story doesn't prove armor saved you?"

But your second argument about him being to blame for the accident... Like sure, you can always be more safe, more alert. But eventually you are gonna make a mistake no matter how much you try not to. And even if you do everything perfectly any number of unexpected things could happen.

"You only got to fuck up once. Be a little slow, be a little late. Just once. And how you ain’t gonna never be slow, never be late? You can’t plan for no shit like this, man. It’s life."

It's still possible outside of China but you have to have a Mi account and for newer phones you have to make some forum posts or some dumb shit.

unaindz · 5 months ago

I dont think you need to do the forum posts but you need to request unlocking every two days and pray it works. Supposedly at 00:00 chinese local time for any chances of getting permission. Took me several months of trying non continuously.

Maybe I am dumb, but why does it have to be a daemon? Why not have the user process fork off the privileged binary to collect data and return the results through stdout?

unaindz · 5 months ago

Forking a process is not free and starting one every hundred of a millisecond* seems very expensive. *I'm do not know which frequency it updates the data but it's usually 1 sec to 0.1 sec.

There's a number of good reasons not to make everyone run a kernel level anti-cheat. Linux (and therefore SteamOS) compatibility is a big one.

I think the status quo where anyone on any platform can access the vanilla game -- where cheaters may not even be a huge problem depending on one's skill rating -- and the most competitively-minded players have the choice to play on FACEIT, works pretty fine.

I do wonder what the 90% of built-in game content you're referring to actually is.

unaindz · 6 months ago

Valve's approach was to avoid the cat and mouse game knowing it doesn't lead anywhere. You can always cheat using DMA or reading the monitor with another computer that simulates a hardware mouse to get aimbot abilities. They wanted a machine learning to detect, flag and ban suspicious behaviour. This didn't work out and I'm not sure they are still trying but there's a few conferences talking about it.

Interesting concept. Case-by-case basis means that in practice only the rich and corporations have access to their exceptions, analogous to US copyright "fair use", which is on a litigated, case by case basis.

In Switzerland and probably most or all EU countries. For example, in Spain, the schools need a signed form allowing each student's picture to be published.

The issue of money gatekeeping legal rights is another issue entirely which should be addressed for everything, not just this specific problem. It's also, in my opinion, a lot more prevalent in the US than the rest of the first world countries.

What an intuitive way to wrench back control over installed drivers. Thank you, anyway.

He explicitly states that examples are not the point of the post by I wonder the specifics of this interaction.

"Even the trigger for this post is an issue from an extremely belligerent user (who I do sympathise with), who was quickly supplanted by someone else who has been extremely courteous in the face of what is definitely a frustrating experience."
