0.5 + 0.3 < 0.8 + 0.3

what kind of argument are you making, wtf

Let’s just make all phones 5cm thick, obviously it doesn’t matter?

Obviously thinner is better if you don’t have to compromise on anything else


Scamming people into investing in an early access game with no intent of finishing it.

ahem...

Just to be clear, I’m joking



Practical difference is all that matters in most instances. If a law cannot be enforced, it is irrelevant.


You’re purposely ignoring the obvious differences between GOG and steam to fit what you believe. Have fun with that



How do you disprove that this “GOG content” are offline installer files that, as long as you keep them backed up, work indefinitely even if GOG revokes your license to download them again?



From what you played I only played Witcher myself, and recently watched a video on, dunno maybe that can make you understand why people watch gaming videos, it’s essentially about what would happen if you play the game out of order: https://youtu.be/aA0KgaW513g

I have mostly been playing Baldurs Gate 3 and Beyond All Reason


You’re not boring xD different stuff is just for different people. Also you’re just not looking for it or know any good YouTubers.

I also read/watch actual series, but really you probably gotta admit that a tv show or series is probably not that much different than watching a well produced YouTube video of a game, just the content appeals to a different audience.

What games have you recently played?


Yeah but also stuff like, someone made a video about beating a highscore playing Planet Coaster building literally only a swimming pool. I would’ve probably never gotten the idea, it’s not incredibly interesting to play, but it’s fun to see someone do it once.

Usually people watch when they can’t play, I watch on the phone on the toilet, when I eat food, in the bed to relax after I’ve been playing already for hours. It’s cool to see how other people play games you play.


I identify myself as a homosexual.

I’ve heard homo being used in a derogatory way as an insult. That usage should not be tolerated.

Retarded is just a medical term, yet you can use it as an insult as well.

That is what this “specification of conditional” aims at. It’s fine to use the word in a descriptive way, you’re just not allowed to go around angrily calling people “fucking zionist”


From the link of this post that you could have clicked on:

Twitch specifies this is conditional: you’re allowed to discuss the political movement of that name, but not “attack or demean another individual or group of people on the basis of their background or religious belief.”


If you had looked at the link of this post, you would have read:

Twitch specifies this is conditional: you’re allowed to discuss the political movement of that name, but not “attack or demean another individual or group of people on the basis of their background or religious belief.”

I.e. nothing is masqueraded here as long as they keep to this. This seems to be a reasonable policy. I’ve seen a couple of instances of people being derogatorily called zionists just for supporting the people of current Israel not being pushed away out of their now decades-old homes, which is hard to still call Zionist if they don’t support any further expansion and any offensive military action.

There’s almost never anything gained to use “Zionist” on someone as if saying “asshole”.


Looking at the Steam store page of this game doesn’t make me want to play this at all. This is just a gut reaction and I don’t know why I feel like this, and I don’t want to spend the time to try and figure it out. But there must be something wrong with the game or the presentation of it.


Well yeah, the question is, why didn’t you hear of it. It might certainly be that the game or type of game has something to do with it, not only the marketing. It’s kinda hard to know from the outside.



Of course it’s worth it, there’s no question about it. Depending on the case it might probably be worth it if Steam took 95%.

For me, the question remains if 20% were “enough” for Steam and still make a shitload of money, or even 10%. Of course we can’t know but it seems likely.


I see this is a Vulkan API update. This means game developers need to take advantage of it before it is of any benefit, correct? Or can one use the benefit of this somehow themselves?


Then program some inconsistency into the aimbot. it’ll still win against everyone most of the time, still being a problem.

Manual review is always possible, but this requires a lot of people. And if someone really looks at the best players, they seem like an aimbot all the time.

Client-side scanning forces hackers to run the input through hardware, which increases the level of entry and investment necessary to start cheating. Of course everything is always avoidable, but it’s about reducing the amount of cheaters by detecting the lazy/stupid people. If you just don’t client-side scan at all, there will be a lot lot lot more cheaters. It’s about reducing the volume so much that the amount is not that bad anymore and can better be dealt with manually.

It’s about forcing cheat developers to spend time/money finding new ways to hide, reducing the value of trying to create cheats.

Of course there are privacy and security concerns. But client side detection in a limited manner does make sense.


It does matter though. If you program the aimbot to act as if they were the best human, the aimbot is still going to beat everyone else, same as if it was behaving unrealistically superhuman. But you can’t simply ban the best human from your game.


There’s so many amazing games on Linux that you’ll never have the time to play all of them in your lifetime. So I’m not sure how this is bad news, just means less choice paralysis?



Server side anticheat is mostly implemented in all popular games. An aimbot however can’t be detected on the server side, it could just be a user moving their mouse perfectly. There’s lots of client cheats like that, which is why clientside detection still makes sense.


My Android /e/os, a fork of lineage os, also has a built-in one.

So yeah OP, I guess the question is, why does your phone not have a built-in PDF reader, not why android doesn’t have one :D


I’ve been using KDE connect’s file transfer feature because I sometimes use my phone to control my PC, works well and fast.


Yeah I’m pretty sure people are just starting to use controllers for the controllers’ usecases. A lot of people (including me) played stuff like space simulators with mouse+keyboard, which are obviously not the right tool for the job.



Wait no, this doesn’t make sense. Other games easily ban their own players from Steam. For easily available example, Rust.


I feel Blizzard should’ve been that already, but it seems like they’re still going strong after quite a bunch of really bad moves.


They’ve learned something. They learned that they can be as shitty as they want to be, and still the modders will bail them out. I trust this move now will also change nothing in that regard.


With xposed you can do everything, which is not graphene exclusive.



Simple starting of phones usually doesn’t require data


I have no idea what’s wrong. I’d assume the rom got corrupted, or the storage died completely. If it’s just corrupted data, you can overwrite it, if the storage is toast, you’re out of luck.

I’d try to figure out how to enter fastboot mode, download a stock rom on your PC, connect the phone to the PC and flash the stock rom. There’s guides for it out there.


I don’t think they “are to blame” (i.e. main reason), but as you say, reading between the lines, it sounds to me like they were definitely part of the reason.


But granting root is not done by “the UI layer”, “the UI layer” is not running with root. There is no such thing as “the UI layer” as a separate entity, an app can have a UI layer as part of its architecture, but the UI is not running on its own. Just because Magisk shows you a UI for you to grant/deny a root request, that doesn’t make it insecure. Nothing is able to interact with this prompt except the Android kernel/libraries itself and Magisk.

Only if you added an application as accessibility tool (or give it root) can it interact with anything within the UI. An app with a UI is generally not much different than an app on the command line.


I’m pretty sure whoever wrote that was talking out their ass. The fuck is “UI layer” on Android, or rather, what does it have to do with it xD


But the previous commenter talked about security issues, you’re only talking about usability issues.


What are the security issues? Rooted just means the potential to give trusted apps root access. Of course, if you give an app root access that you trust but is then abusing that trust and being malicious, yes it’s a security issue. But if you don’t do that, the simple fact of having a rooted phone should have no security change in any way. (Ok, except for potential bugs in Magisk/su or whatever)
