Now go one step further; It isn’t a translator but a creator. It manifests the self outwards.

And another step further; The logic of the universe is re-created in every moment backwards into time.

Look up Solipsism.

I think that’s a very big stretch and I don’t think we’ll see that any time soon. Microsoft is already losing market share and they can’t do much more of this type of stuff because more and more people are getting annoyed. (Including ones with a following such as PewDiePie)

Anyways, Linux is great.

You realize this’ll occur at the expense of Microsoft treating the user as an untrustworthy enemy.

What do you mean? Take away your ability to create drivers? Because it’s already extremely limited and you need to get signed. I guess this “change” would just mean not signing any new antivirus drivers.

This means modding (even for offline play) will not be allowed. Heck, even modify ini files might be viewed as “hacking”.

That’s a completely wrong take. Whether or not an anticheat runs in the kernel or not does not mean people can just go and edit their files. Even with a kernel level anticheat people can already do that if the driver is not running. The correct way is to do purity checks during connection to an online server, and only allow serverside code to update the gamestate. Any texture file hacks and local purity bypasses for those would need to be caught by the userland anticheat, like it has been done for ages. Not the best solution, but far more privacy friendly.

I agree removing the need for anti-cheat in principal sounds nice, but this means archiving games or porting them to “unsupported platforms” will be relics of the past.

Another weird take. Are you talking about the anticheat not being installable anymore? Because even if a game comes with a kernel level anticheat it would need a valid certificate, so any dead game would eventually have this problem regardless of it being allowed to install the driver. Porting games would in almost all cases get rid of the anticheat or somehow null it, disable any custom servers from forcing a valid anticheat, stuff like that. And archiving would be much easier without any anticheat at all, again regardless of kernel anticheat or userland anticheat.

MUCH better solutions against hacker are to use all this amazing machine learning stuff on the server side, put more power back into the hands of admins and their selfhosted servers, and handle reports about hackers better and faster.

That is depressingly insightful. See also: the internal war on everyone who isn’t a middle-aged white cis het man (and even some of them, too). Just negativity all around.

Yes. Separating the people is an extremely strong tool in the authoritarian handbook. It is such a strong tool that the things it accomplishes are too much to list here. There are a lot of books on the matter. I think it’s even explained in some of the CIA books.

What really brings me down it’s the certainty that even if that is guy was suddenly not there anymore, there is a whole gaggle of like folk ready to continue that same rhetoric. How do you even dig yourselves out of that?

This is not completely correct. People fighting back against their oppressors sends an extremely strong message. And it even goes both way. For example, the attack on the USA Capitol of January 6th gave these Magazis a lot of power because they saw unity in their oppression.

The good thing is that there’s always more good people than bad.

That’s impossible. “Make America Great Again” is a slogan that he can only abuse as long as there are problems. If he wants to stay in power it’s in his best interest to create problems. It’s what fascists dictators have been doing since forever. Even if there are no problems they will point towards something and make you think it is a problem, so they can market themselves as the solution. If he would “win” he would lose his power, which is obviously the opposite of what somebody like Trump wants.

Pellet guns are easy I guess.

Cooked al dente?

Aren’t you a tiny blob of typography and biomass yourself?

Like any proud parent would do.

I guess the trick is to not look for stuff to host because you’ll end up with all kinds of things you weren’t doing in the first place.

Great. I always wanted a premium 911 subscription. If the lines are full it just disconnects somebody and connects me instead.

19.99/month for an operator with a decent microphone.

79.99/month for 2 operators at the same time.

It’s too much power draw for me.

I think humans should be #1 on that list.

In the US?

Bots were a big reason why I didn’t continue playing Naraka. A battle royale that has bots is just awful. I’d rather have long queues than a BR lobby with a handful of people.

I dropped the show because of too much singing. The songs were great but it really dislike that kind of stuff.

I’m saying blackhat hackers can make far more money off the exploit by itself. I’ve seen far worse techniques being used to sell services for hundreds of dollars and the people behind those are making thousands. An example is the slow bruteforcing of blocked words on YouTube channel as they might have blocked their name, phone number, or address.

What you’re talking about is playing both sides, and that is just not worth doing for multiple reasons. It’s very obvious when somebody is doing that. People don’t just find the same exploit at the same time in years old software.

In all fairness. Machine learning in chess engines is actually pretty strong.

AlphaZero was developed by the artificial intelligence and research company DeepMind, which was acquired by Google. It is a computer program that reached a virtually unthinkable level of play using only reinforcement learning and self-play in order to train its neural networks. In other words, it was only given the rules of the game and then played against itself many millions of times (44 million games in the first nine hours, according to DeepMind).
