A prison might be a sizeable piece of land, but it's still a prison. I'd like to go to the lake in the summer, even if it might be more dangerous than a paddling pool.

I experience people hating cheaters every other lobby. Mostly they can't proof someone is indeed cheating. In any case, watching the demo after the game will make them begrudgingly admit that the other guy really was better than us. &g

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but: Cheating in online games is not a problem. We have essentially two cases to consider: 1. The cheater is using a rage cheat to get ahead of everything, in disregard of wether he will ke

That's mainly googles fault. Xposed still lives on somewhat with the Riru project, but even a rooted phone without any mods will fail securitynet checks today, rendering it useless for most consumers that would have been willing to do

Smartphones are usually rather cheap. I think it would be more like setting your car on fire.

So your argument is "I like to look at it". Which is legitimate, but honestly does not convince me. My car reports stats on my dash, which works for me. I don't think people need to record trips on non-shared business cars he

Omemo just works out of the box as well. You don't have to check the key fingerprints, noone forces you to. For people who aren't interested the chat opens and they can start writing and sending, the encryption is completely trans

Since there is nothing one can do to identify a specific client, you cannot just block them. If they violate the spec that should be reason enough to consider them not real clients. I personally have no experience with pidgin and xmpp, but

Depending on when you last tried xmpp you might have experienced the OTR hell, which was never really codified 100% and spawned subtle incompatibilities between clients leading to weird and nondescript errors that never got addressed. Nowad

The benefit would be that history would be kept and be viewable from different accounts. The problem would be that the history would have to be MITM'd on the matrix-xmpp-server-bridge because the encryption models aren't compatibl

XMPP and matrix solve related, but somewhat different problems. The Matrix approach is that everything is a stateful chatroom with history in which users can join or leave, while for XMPP there are only users (entities) which exchange objec
