First i thought you meant the video game Rust. Then I saw the arewe…yet url and thought you meant Rust the programming language Then I visited the arewe…yet link and realized it was the Rust game you meant after all

  I know what you mean, sometimes I google Rust specific things (the coding language) and get Rust the game.

    as a person that plays rust and writes rust I feel this all the time

    For awhile googling “Swift” was like that with Taylor Swift results instead of the programming language.

      Likely a case where Google figured out which one you meant through the telemetry of what you clicked on and how you refined your search, now that personalization is automatic. In my case, I get four regular results, which are the financial standard, the programming language, the wikipedia page for the programming language, and an ISP; then I get a "top stories" block that is all about the singer. More tricky for the sibling comment with Rust, where either one could be valid.

    /r/rust, the subreddit for the Rust language, regularly (every 1-2 days at most) gets posts meant for /r/playrust, the subreddit for the Rust game. I genuinely don't know how people manage to get as far as posting without noticing where they are.

      It’s probably because the “create a Reddit post” form doesn’t require you to even visit the subreddit you are posting to. It DOES show you the rules/sidebar of the subreddit you are about to post to (for /r/rust it includes a link to /r/playrust for the gamers) but apparently many aren’t seeing that.

        "Banner blindness" applies to the rules/sidebar. The user sees it, notices it's not what they're looking to interact with, and ignores it. The same thing happens for modal dialogues where the user will click whatever button makes the message go away without bothering to read the message, only the button text.

      It is hard to perceive that which you are not aware exists even with obvious evidence in your face

        That's not a great explanation when there's, you know, rust the material.

      You are an average person. A program you're using crashes. The only non-generic word you see in the crash message is "SQLite". You look it up, find SQLite, and you bother the developers for help. The problem is as old as labels.

> I Don't understand why everyone else does not. It's because the Linux versions of those anti-cheats are significantly weaker than their Windows counterparts.
- tapoxi 11mo ago
  It's telling that Valve uses a user space anti-cheat (VAC) for Counter-Strike 2, but the competitive community overwhelmingly rejects that and ops to use a third-party Windows-only kernel mode anti-cheat (FACEIT).
  - jsheard 11mo ago
    I think even the "Major" tournaments that are officially sanctioned and sponsored by Valve, though organized by third parties, usually run on FACEIT or similar.

    Eh, some employers also have root for your work PC, that’s different from asking to install a rootkit on your personal PC.
  - SirMaster 11mo ago
    Cheating in CS2 is rampant and VAC2 seems to be just about useless. FACEIT is significantly more effective.
  - Draiken 11mo ago
    I mean, people are dumb. Anti cheats are as much a marketing ploy as they're actual anti cheats. People believe everyone is cheating so it must be true. People believe nobody bypasses the FACEIT anti cheat so it must be true. Neither of those are correct. Riot revels in this by marketing their anti cheat, but there are always going to be cheaters. And sooner or later we will have vulnerabilities in their kernel spyware. I much rather face a few cheaters here and there (which is not as common as people make it to be on high trust factor). You think tournament organizers or pro players know the first thing about anti cheats? They buy the marketing just like everybody else.

Wow, what a cool site. Just learned that Hunt: Showdown is supported in Linux. And it wasn't the first time I checked. Will love to give it a try.

so ironic that a microsoft game supports it compared to others who should be incentivised to support players on steam deck. especially when they support platforms like nintendo switch despite vastly different architecture and capabilities.
