I like to think I hold myself to a higher standard or at least just a standard. General consumption, I’m not sure, but for video games, people standards have dropped significantly, the masses accept a lot of bullshit and even defend it.

It’s very much consumer these days, people buy literally anything marketed to them.

Isn’t that the point of major version upgrades? To make breaking changes?

James Cameron needs to hire actual good story writers. He made an incredible world filled with potential, but he cannot write a story to save his life. It’s the most generic shit ever filled with plot holes, humans invading? Drop all that.

You are mistaking what I am saying. I have nothing against the project as whole and the mission is fantastic.

They just have zero PR skills, don’t know when to keep their mouth shut or how to communicate properly when they need to. A little bit of consultation would go a long way for them. Obviously I am not expecting Google levels of PR/marketing, but it’s not great to see just ranting Discord/matrix messages. If it wasn’t an issue, these posts wouldn’t exist at all.

GrapheneOS has always had a massive PR problem and crazy leadership unfortunately.

What is to upgrade? Smartphones/phablets were always going to reach a peak, where the innovations that can be made are small. Screens look amazing, cameras are incredible, it’s all at a point where phones do everything we want them to really well. Upgrades now are just iterative, battery improvements are welcome, improved camera sensors would be cool, but we dont need any of it, even faster SoCs, brighter or higher resolution screens are pointless now.

They can’t really do much more, we dont need thinner, they are worse. Folding could be a potential avenue, but it’s not there yet, they are far too fragile. There’s going to have to be some new breakthrough tech to make a lot of people buy new phones, until then, they will have to keep trying to sell AI and some other bullshit features.

Please kindly fuck off ASUS.

Let me tell you, the average Rust player doesnt care and Facepunch know it.

Its because its used in schools, they learn it, they become reliant on it, its in their workplaces, at their home.

Its why Microsoft dont really care if you pirate Windows, the more people using it, the more reliant they are on it, then they cash in big time at the enterprise level. Same with Photoshop etc etc.

If we taught how to use Linux instead…

They will pay for SEO. You can’t type 99% of shit into search engines anymore without some product appearing before the actual thing.

Yes… it was a rumour from a leak back then, before your tweet even. We knew pretty much everything beforehand.

Blatant cheaters are what cause the problems.

There are “good” cheaters today, that are less skilled players and rely on cheats to be better. They fly under the radar, not making their cheating obvious. The end experience to others is that could have been a good skilled player and not a cheater.

If someone has any sort of cheat that makes it obvious, then that would be dealt with. If cheaters have to disguise themselves as real players, then it severely limits what they can do. And to other players, it makes no difference at that point.

There’s no solution that solves it. There never will be.

“Devs are lazy” boils down to management deciding to take a shortcut. Implementing a kernel level AC, as a “that will do” solution, instead if investing in a better one.

I dont know what you are suggesting with trust, that can only apply with private games. Valve do have a “trust factor” system too, which uses data from your entire Steam account to determine how likely you are to cheat or not.

It was pretty obvious from the get go that my main concern is intrusive anti-cheat solutions.

Either way, the bulk of anti-cheat should be server yes, a basic client-side AC can exist alongside it to capture the most basic of cheats. Although entirely server side would be fine.

I’ve come across many, is it annoying? Sure. Is it the end of the world? No. You just leave the lobby/server and go in a fresh one.

No cheating is bad enough to justify a rootkit.

I’ve also been called a cheater a lot and they always sound very convinced even though they have no idea at all. I imagine these are the same people constantly complaining about cheating.

What a clown ahahha

But that doesn’t matter, if they have to play so carefully, they will be placed into an ELO where their “skill” matches, so they won’t be any more effective than a real player at that level, then they will be forced to be more suspicious and better players sniff out cheaters a lot better than others. So they wouldn’t even last long. This is basically what happens in CS now.

Smurfs can “pwn some noobs” just the same and get called cheaters all the time. Like I said in the other comment chain, we dont need to prevent people from cheating (endless game of cat and mouse), just make it ineffective.

Yes, scanning of it’s own game files to detect anything suspicious. It doesn’t scan every file on your computer, dictate what applications you can or can’t run and doesn’t install itself at the kernel level. I don’t have a problem with that at all.

Good luck tuning your ML to have a less than 1% false positive rate while still doing anything.

Already exists with VACnet in the largest competitive FPS, Counter-Strike. And machine learning has grown massively in the last couple years, as you probably know with all the “AI” buzz.
