LGR made a great video about this PC and the company’s history, y’all should definitely watch it on Youtube.
Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•THE FINALS announced they are updating to a kernel-based anti-cheat, and despite the change, they will continue to support Linux/ProtonEnglish1·1 day agoYes, but that exponentially increases ongoing costs for hosting servers for the game to perform those extra checks, and unless you’re one of the Valves of the world, you aren’t going to have enough data for an automated system to work properly.
Counter Strike effectively has had a server-sided anticheat since the latter half of Global Offensive’s lifespan, but there are simply too many gaps in the armor - difficult to determine what counts as a violation with 99% certainty, false positives, automated peripherals used by players that “copy” real human players, and so on.
In a perfect world, the answer to this problem would be community hosted servers ran by independent admins who could audit player activity and exercise human judgements. But that would severely limit the scale of games like the Finals, since both those who could stomach the cost of hosting and the quality of matchmaking would diminish. Even after those measures, it’s not bulletproof. Ask RUST players, TF2 players, DayZ/Arma players, and so forth.
Windows users are far more likely to be technically naive enough to install a cheat that will be detected by the kernel level anticheat, and the existence will also act as a deterrent and price increase on the cheat maker’s side. The subset of Linux users who desire to cheat may not be affected by those changes, but other methods, like reporting, active memory checks, and pattern detection can still keep fair play.
This can’t just be a one stop solution. It has to be hybrid. Otherwise the scale of PVP multi-player games we see today is impossible to maintain.

Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Americans kinda don't like pickpocketing ruleEnglish6·1 day agoI certainly don’t like the situation, but the amount of people who are chomping at the bit to attack others are far greater than those who don’t want to. I would likely have to hand over everything if I had a gun pointed at me, but usually the best way to avoid that risk is to avoid being there. Staying away from crowds, either trying to bluff/strike/capitulate with those who try to attack you, or just not trusting anyone.
This is why bystander effect is a real issue when it comes to situations in the US where people are injured or need help - the risk of being robbed, defrauded, or sued means it’s a far easier choice to keep moving and not think about those around you.

Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Americans kinda don't like pickpocketing ruleEnglish133·2 days agoIn the US, we have a phrase for the mindset you’re describing:
“Fuck you, I got mine.”
Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Americans kinda don't like pickpocketing ruleEnglish21·2 days agoYep. Don’t ever bother with de-escalation when you know no safety net will save you. You have to go all in, or you are left behind, or dead.
Not the world I like living in, but that’s the world I’m currently living in. Hell, my father was robbed several times growing up, so he made sure to teach my sibling and I how to be wary and catch people in the act.

Nah, emotional support dieties. Useful for pushing responsibility away from one’s self.

Except buying the soundtrack on Bandcamp for a copy. That was 100% worth it.

On a real note, VR is what got me to take stretches and exercise seriously, and I do them a ton more now. If wanting to be more comfortable in your identity brings you that spark, more power to you! :)
Then you gotta dress wacky, that’s your PPE against rude and toxic folks approaching ya. Wear mismatching colors to the office!
