Eh, while cash bail should be ended, it's disingenuous to claim there is no reasoning for it's existence.

I mean sure, that is how some (mostly strategy and tactical) games do it, but for an FPS, figuring out where the buffer should be would be a programmers nightmare. I guess you would have to try to calculate all possible lines of sights a player could have within some buffer time (100-1000ms) and then all players that could in theory enter them... Add physics and it is practically impossible.

Also, corner hack is useful enough and it does not address aimbot. IMO the answer is some combination of human moderation and ability to play with "friends" instead of randos. E.g. you could ask people to like or dislike a player at the end of a match and try to pair players that liked each other in the past.

That does not detect things like wall hack and aim-bots that don't modify the game state directly.

In XMPP, e2e encryption (just like everything else) is an optional extension. So in practice half the clients don't support e2ee, half support different version of e2ee (can't talk to each other) and pretty much all e2ee are likely full of holes since there are too many implementations to review.

In Matrix, e2ee is in a library that all clients can use, so while it is not Signal, it provides decent security.

Yeah, I realized my mistake almost immediately and deleted the comment but apparently not fast enough.

If you weren't so broke, you would know there is also Switzerland. ;)

You do realize some countries in Europe have federal governments (Germany for example), right? And then these completely independent countries are part of the EU which have EU elections. So you have federation within federation. Also, the EU has higher population than the USA. We don't even all speak the same language. We are allowed to move between EU countries whenever we like and have residence where we please.

I think its not Europeans that don't understand.

update: In case it is not clear, being registered automatically is the same as not having to register, which is what the post is about. Idk what that update word salad is supposed to be or why it is an update instead of a reply.

I would be very unhappy if I saw this spacecraft, that still has probably more than 95% chance of bringing me home safely if something happened, leave with no alternative in sight.

I strongly prefer GOG to the point where I often don't buy games that are not on GOG.

That being said, one reason to buy from Steam is steam workshop. So if I want a lot of mods, I may buy from Steam even when available on GOG.

Netherlands? Switzerland? Norway?

Like sure, there always is some corruption but relatively insignificant amount.

Honestly, I can't think of an EU country that is anywhere near the US levels of "corrupted by capitalism".

If there's a top that someone could rise to, it isn't communism.

What? Top? What do you mean?

I immediately dislike calling it commerce for 3 reasons:

  1. Most people will not know what I mean so I will have to explain every time
  2. Commerce is an existing word that means something different so it will still be confusing in a different direction
  3. I, on principle, don't like abandoning words because some dumb group(s) appropriate them and try to change their meaning

I think I will try saying "regulated capitalism" from now on and see if it works better.
