No, you're right, it's good to be clear. I did mean basically all of them.

I'll consider this. I do tend to focus on the negative, and hurtful behavior. I agree that the given evidence is weak, but I can still see that medical professionals believed that it's not pain that babies have. Maybe because it&#

Wouldn't be the wildest thing people, or medical professionals, believe. Even clearly displayed aversion to assumed-painful stimuli doesn't mean that people will believe that it's pain that the organism is feeling. Where this

Everything is a research, until it's proven beyond belief. Obvious doesn't cut it from a scientific standpoint. Noticing something, and proving something are two different things. And mutually agreeing upon the findings is also so

I mean, same with gravity, right? In ascending order of complexity, noticing gravity, using gravity for benefit, and explaining gravity are orders of magnitude different.

I'd say that adults worry, and that's because they are explicitly taught as children to label such behavior nonsense and discard it.

Just an FYI for those reading. I had no idea what the keepassxc thing is about - apparently the debian version doesn't have a bunch of functionality that the original version has, and this was the maintainer's decision. https:&#x

>The level of intrusion applied to protect a game seems over the top I agree on a theoretical level, like, if it's my general purpose computer, then everything that runs on it should also answer to me, not other parties. This applie

I see the point in this. While PC can do everything, we can specialize it ways, and if we separate the concerns, it enables further specialization. In fact I think (and experienced) that such separation enables a healthier lifestyle as well

Yes, in reality I do both as well. I dual-boot my PC, I have two 1 terabyte SSDs in it, one for Linux, and one for Windows. The online multiplayer stuff I do on the Windows partition, it has the launchers, discord, and a bunch of things lik

Your kernel might be private, but all your files can be accessed by the game, if it's run by the same user, which I imagine is the setup for most gamers. And since games are proprietary and auto-updated, the potential to do damage or c

I think this underestimates the problem. Yes it's a people problem, but a game doesn't have the people-means to solve it, it only has technology. >Anti cheat software because one needs to play with people one does not trust and

In this day and age, I think that compartmentalization is the way to go. Gaming, and especially online gaming is basically public by default, so I decided that I don't fight the zeitgeist, rather I search for a place for it. I personal

Multiplayer games all have some kind of anti-cheat, or they have cheater dominated servers. Unfortunately I don't know any easy data source to find out the kind of anti-cheat games use. Sometimes the Steam page has details on it. I sug

Indeed, all post-processing will need to be done again, and sometimes they do a questionable job, like in the case of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So there is a lot of challenges with a remaster. Still, the possibility to extract more informat

That was a good guess. Whatever there is, there's a hobby version of it, especially in this age of capitalism.

What I appreciate in film is that with the development of technology, we can extract more information out of it, retroactively. This is a big contrast to digital media, where the information is coded as-is, and with increasing accuracy, we

I agree with you, but on a practical level, private trackers are moderated, and so, reasonably safe and secure. Convenience is case by case. Often, the official stuff puts up such a fuss that the pirated copy is more convenient to use.

People cheat in every game. Among other factors, it's a matter of the service provider's level of moderation. Even if there are a lot of cheaters, if the host bans them quickly enough, they aren't much of a problem for the us

In multiplayer, cheats are literal plague that kill the entire experience for everyone, including the cheater. Social gaming is based around mutual understanding. If the understanding is that we play by the rules, then a cheater is going ag

Well, I'll personally weather this storm on my Windows 10 LTSC 21H2. I'm sure people will figure out something until 2027-01-12, when its security supports end, or Microsoft will release the Win 11 LTSC-equivalent.

Morally it's the employers to blame, but the world is not built on morality, but on power dynamics. For loyalty to be worth something, the relationship has to be at least somewhat equitable. Each party has to have the power to hurt the
