I’d settle for that solution anyways, but only as long as users can still mix and match kernels (one for secure boot and games that require anti-cheat, and another for custom hardware)

Which is why I prefer the MacOS approach better - instead of relying on the developer adding a hypervisor, Apple uses binary signatures for all the relevant system files which are attested via something similar to Secure Boot, plus an Apple-provided API for runtime attestation, to ensure that the system has not been touched since boot. I suspect that Valve’s assistance in making Arch Linux builds reproducible is pointing towards that goal.

Single-player? Absolutely. Multiplayer though? Outside of fighting games, indie games, and anything made by Valve, it’s increasingly difficult to find any multiplayer game that works on Linux, and even those that still work can have the multiplayer yanked off down the line like what happened with Apex Legends.

Considering that Vanguard has already been bypassed at least once (see dailydarkweb.net/vanguard-bypa… ), I think somebody must already know if the tool is ultimately malicious or not. Problem is, the somebody that knows has a vested interest in not disclosing any details, being a cheat bypasser and all.

That’s precisely why I haven’t so much as touched any games if they don’t support Linux with their anti-cheat solution. The developers of Apex Legends proudly announcing that dropping support for Linux made cheaters drop “significantly” doesn’t sit well with me, and in fact I suspect EA is doing something malicious that can’t be feasibly detected precisely because of their kernel-level access. And don’t even get me started with Tencent-funded Riot’s Vanguard, it’s practically guaranteed that China will eventually demand to use it as a backdoor someday.

A shame that many multiplayer game developers, like EA and Riot, still consider Linux to be too unsafe to trust with an anti-cheat. I wonder if Valve is working on a proper solution for that - signed kernels and packages a la MacOS, perhaps?

That must have taken some diplomacy, but it would have been even more impressive to have convinced Stallman to come too

Looks like a certain officer doesn’t know about “sexual healing” huh?

Somebody online said that she probably got a discount on the originals thanks to her rerecordings devaluating the value of the first records - and, you know, that’s a galaxy brain move

So THAT is exactly why PowerWash Simulator, the videogame, exists in the first place

On one hand, nice to see support for ARM - on the other hand, hopefully that can trickle down to Linux down the line one way or another.

Ah yes, Lieutenant William Guile, or as I like to call him, “Bill Guile the Sonic Guy”

Homarr is more or less turnkey, as long as you use Docker to deploy your services.

Ah, been like that for roughly the last six months. Too busy to take free time, too burned out to use the free time when it comes.

Considering that I don’t have a car, I’ve been boycotting most media and many brands for years, and I have no friends because nobody shares the same ethics as I do? Yeah every purchase is and should be a moral dilemma. (The proper solution is to drop society and go raise my own crops in the middle of the mountains, someday I’ll save up to do just that)

No joke, it’s pretty much impossible to find a car by a manufacturer that didn’t benefit from human rights abuses one way or another. Most European cars are from companies founded (or funded) by Nazi Germany or its axis friends. Same goes for Japanese cars. In the US, either the founder is a seething racist (like Ford and Tesla) or the company has been collaborating too much with the army (like Jeep). And don’t get me started with China.

Fair enough, the dude’s been writing bangers for decades already

Where can one submit requests for re-evaluation? Seems like the NYT’s credibility and factuality have dropped significantly during the last year

If only we could finally convince Vanillaware to release for the Steam Deck!
