Go to their GitHub and look at issues and their comments first.

Where is Raft in these lists?

You’re running closed source software that has permissions to read your keyboard input to other applications (other than apps running as admin), they can access your files, and and they can communicate over the Internet.

You’re inherently trusting these publishers if you’re gaming on Windows. Who is the publisher of Darkest Dungeon or Deep Rock Galactic or Lethal Company?

If you really want to be secure, you can’t do gaming on the same machine as your security sensitive stuff. It’s not limited to these anti-cheats.

Tell me how any other app uploading your entire documents directory is okay then. “Into the kernel” is largely fear mongering. Other, less trustworthy apps can do plenty of damage, and you don’t seem to care about those.

These games won’t run on Linux.

They do this to prevent cheaters, and it is effective. Some people who have no problems running any other executable that can do just as much damage believe this load on boot style is too invasive.

I wouldn’t mind this feature dying so I could play on Linux though.

I had to VPN back home to get around the email verification for a new location.

Doesn’t xmpp require a constant connection?

Curious

Looking at and/or incorporating Navidrome might be helpful.

At least for the first year.

I think your original argument just wasn’t fully fleshed out. Seems you don’t like the guy for a lot more reason than the one you gave, which might be legitimate.

I’m not that familiar, tbh.

I was thinking QtPie, who is a much nicer person.

Pretty sure PewDiePie is an ass, but “he said a racial slur once ten years ago” isn’t a great argument against anyone, generally.

You’re going to equate a word with being a Nazi and rape? Using a racial slur is literally a small subset of being a Nazi.

If you think calling people Jews was the big issue with the Nazis, well…

Either way, the money grab is why I didn’t get back into MtG recently.

I considered sticking my toe in and was told “oh yeah, just buy a $90 commander precon and hop right in.”

Yeah, no thanks.

What’s a tw3?

Rust is straight up better than C. It’s safer and less prone to errors.

It’s not feasible to convert the entire Linux codebase at once. So your options are to either have a mixed codebase, or stick with effectively Cobol into 2020.

Also, do we just trust all these random libraries? Not just about malicious code, but also what kind of quality/usability are you including?

Big companies do not want to trust open package repositories. They attempt to take countermeasures (but how much can you do?)

The huge benefit of the standard library is that I can always trust it, and it will always be the idiomatic way to do things.

Lemmy came through (below). Things are getting better here. I feel like we’re reaching critical mass, if only we could stop the infighting.
