I block all advertising myself, but sponsors I think are ok. The creator can control who they sponsor with, they can write a funny ad skit that is entertaining (the best ones I have seen are the ones by squishy boi) and the creator gets paid directly without fucking us with an algorithm.

I’m happy to watch those kinds of ads as I know the creator is getting paid from them, and e.g. YouTube isn’t taking a cut.

Wow. Not only incorrect, but incorrect in the worst way by fucking up maths by a factor of a thousand!

Auto scaling NPCs to your level is such a shitty and lazy solution to difficulty scaling. I’m so sick of it.

Why can’t they do an escalation system like the cops instead for each gang? The longer you aggravate them on their turf the heavier the guys are they send out. Much more realistic, and if you are getting your ass kicked you just scoot over to some other gangs turf.

You can still detect that stuff on the server. It’s all about will and competence. The real reason is anticheat allows easy surveillance. The Ven diagram of people with Tencent anticheat and essential IT personnel overlaps a lot. This is a big problem talked about but not solved in sec ops.

Detecting the angle, acceleration and speed at multiple points of a shot in an fps is trivial, and developing a check to see if it’s human movement or computer movement is easy after that.

Aimbots are easy too. Is the camera following someone without having vision? Oh no aimbot. A bit more complex than that… But not by much.

It’s easy enough to do it right, but then you don’t get that sweet sweet surveillance

Fedora definitely doesn’t “just works”. Try installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers then updating your kernel.

Most antivirus software are just root level tools to harvest your data, that pretend to help

I loved these books! Where is Fahrd???

None of that was true 4 years ago. Or 10 years ago. Or 15 years ago. You are a potato.
