And you make her being trans an avenue of attack, so you're a transphobe. Same as if you'd call a black person you don't like the n-word.

Interestingly enough valve has tried your method of catching cheaters your way by pattern matching with a neutral network in csgo. Sadly they never got to the confidence level where they made it automatically ban people because they didn't want to catch really good players in the crossfire. Instead they send them to overwatch, a system where sufficiently good players could judge the case and determine if the person is cheating.

But also there's many different types of cheats and that will only gets you so far. Information plays a big role in cs so wall hacks can go undetected if the player masks then which they do since they know they're probably watched. There's also subtle aim bot for that reason that doesn't snap your aim to your enemy precisely but corrects your manual aim by just correcting it a tiny bit.

As the other user described, it is an arms race and so far the cheaters keep finding ways to trick the algorithm after each ban wave. I still admire valve for not going kernel level with their anti cheat and trying the complicated and interesting route instead. However i think that is because valve tried kernel level when it was still resisted by gamers so they got big backlash at the time and went back to regular anti cheat.

I think what worked best for me was trust factor, which rates the trustworthiness of your steam account and since i have a legit account I've not played against cheaters since they implemented it and until i stopped playing. It sucks for new players with new steam accounts tho as they get matched with a lot of cheaters.

And about putting a buzzword on your game that makes people think they're safe from cheaters

Wait people didn't enjoy the 13th warrior? I loved that one as a child!

I feel like you as someone with pronouns in his bio should probably know that there are issues that the 2 available options differ in. So don't try to wash the blood of trans people, women and other minorities in the US off your hands. You're going to have to live with that because it ain't coming off

That last paragraph is exactly what i feel. In Windows it started to feel more and more like I'm fighting against Microsoft and have to be on edge all the time whereas if in Linux something doesn't work it's not because of ill intentions of the people behind the OS.

Just an fyi but blob already stands for binary large object

The website interface on mobile works well enough and on mobile Firefox you can install ublock origin. Made me uninstall a bunch of apps and use their web version instead.

A videogame making views on YouTube is only incentive for first playthroughs as views on YouTube are usually for people's reactions to stuff. Speedrunning really usually is a passion project.

That's super interesting to me. I'm pretty much the opposite. I tried civ 6 on the deck but it failed to trigger me going into hyperfocus like it does on desktop

I'd say they've probably long reached the point where they have enough customers around the world to hold the load on their servers fairly constant. The example with one user only taking 5% of a servers load only works for low customer counts, similar to how you can't count on one wind turbine or solar plant to provide all of your energy but if you have enough of them you can provide a base line of fairly constant energy

 

I'm currently wondering what to do if my favourite recipes go offline or if my mom's special traditional dish where i have the recipe in written form gets lost. Do you have a (preferably FOSS) app to store such recipes? I'm currently trying Cooky which is FOSS but is difficult to use for cooking: you can't really group cooking steps well and when cooking a recipe you can only view one step at a time unless you're editing the recipe. I like however that you can tag the dishes so it's easier to find specific stuff like vegan or spicy dishes.
