No, he used a Delorean because of the style, and something about the stainless steel construction that we'll never know the rest of. :P

Well, it depends. I mean the original story "The Time machine" I think very deliberately had a machine that was on the ground. I guess if you're "travelling" through time then you could follow your local location in the same way you do when it is moving forward at the normal rate.

The argument is more true for time machines that instantly move through time, like back to the future. Since yes it would need some way to account for planetary movement.

Yeah but it's meant to be bread and circuses to distract from government. In this case, it's bread and circuses, from the very top down.

Yes. But this is precisely the reason I won't play games that need kernel level anti-cheat. I barely trust game devs to run usermode code on my machine. I sure don't want to let them near kernel mode.

I think the real answer is going to be an evolving server side anti-cheat. If you do it client side, they will always find a way round it.

It's good to see. The UK one is still ticking upward too (133.5k/100k). It's been an impressive last minute push.

Now, we wait and see I guess. I expect nothing useful to come from the UK one, but at least we force them to respond again. Even if it is the same response.

The EU one, I really do hope something comes of it.

Here is the thing. They cite users running kernel level cheats, and the need to detect them. Well, if they allow user mode anti-cheat to function under linux I see two eventualities that will likely force them to change their mind.

1: Cheats find a way to spoof running under wine/linux while in windows and continue to use only the user mode cheat while running their windows kernel cheats. 2: They develop kernel mode cheats for Linux and move cheating to Linux.

Either of these could end up either forcing them to either stop linux clients entirely, or somehow segregate them.

One thing I've seen with serious cheating communities... They will go a long way, a long long way just to cheat. Almost as far as spending time to get good at the game. Almost, but not quite.

I hope it doesn't go this way. I don't play games with kernel anti-cheat as a matter of principle. But it would be annoying if it happened to a game I already played.

This is my assumption too. It's disabled for me. I have no plans to change that.

America, we need to talk.

I was going to say. The fediverse isn't an echo chamber. It's a series of echo chambers, some of which even talk to eachother. :P

Aha, I see. So you mean there should be a community for anonymous posts. I think it's not inherently supported with ActivityPub. But I guess someone could create a bot that all posts went through. However for very obvious reasons the community would need to be moderated VERY efficiently.
